Electronic Device Drive Has Been Extended!!!

by Windermere Evergreen

We still need more devices!!! ChildSafe needs our help! Join us, through the Windermere Foundation, in an to benefit Childsafe.

One of the many challenges of the pandemic is getting support out to children that are currently benefiting from Childsafe services. Many children are home with their abusers during these days of quarantine. We are in need of iPads, tablets or old computers with internet and video capabilities to help these children get the support/services they need.

Please drop off your old devices at either the Windsor or Fort Collins Windermere offices. All equipment will go through a professional cleaning and memory clear. Thank you in advance for your help in this project. Donations are NOW being accepted until 10/01/2020. #AllInForCommunity #WindermereFoundation

Should We Wait?

by Windermere Evergreen

Here’s a question on the mind of some buyers today…

“Should we just wait?” They see how active the market is. They see prices up and inventory down. They wonder if they would be better off to wait.

There are two powerful forces at work in our market and two key reasons why we think the greatest risk for a buyer today is to wait.

The first is prices. If you research the last 40 years of prices in our market what you will notice is that Larimer County’s average yearly increase is 5% and Weld County’s is 4%.

You will also notice that prices increase much more often than they decrease. In 40 years, prices have gone up in Larimer County 34 times and down only 6 times. The most prices have ever gone down is 3%.

The second force at work is interest rates. Rates today are essentially half of their 40-year average. Money is on sale, half off!

When rates increase (like they have in the last 6 months), you can measure the direct impact to a buyer’s payment using the 1%/10% rule. For every 1% increase in rate, the payment increases 10%.

So, if a buyer chooses to wait, the odds are they will be met with higer prices and higer interest rates.

We just released a video which covers this important topic. Check it out below.
