Date                        Pending              Sold 30 days        Inventory

Demand is high for single family homes and townhomes within and Downtown, Fish Creek and the Mountain areas. If priced right, properties are seeing multiple offers at times. Lower priced condos within the same area are also selling well.

Prices: As demand increases and properties sell, we’re seeing an increase in prices. Some properties within the hot price range and area have already seen decent increases in values. Like many areas across the country, I could see values and prices rise 10-20% over the year. This is great for home owners and those looking to refinance. For many who were underwater on their mortgage might see relief soon rising values.

S&P/Case-Shiller, which tracks the health of the national housing market, reports on three indices. Two are monthly statistics gathered from major metropolitan areas: the 10-City Composite and the 20-City Composite. And one reports on quarterly data based on the U.S. census divisions, The National Home Price Index.

Monthly, the 10- and 20- Composite Indices both saw an increase of 1.4% in March.
