Recent prices and pace point to a market that still rewards preparation.
If you are trying to decide whether to start touring now or wait, I would not delay just to hope for easier conditions. In Loveland, CO, recent supply stood at 2.74 months, which keeps the market in seller's market territory and tells me prepared shoppers still need a clear plan before they step into the first showing.
A typical median sold price was $480,000 over the previous 30 days, and recent offers landed at 98.5% of asking in Loveland, CO. A typical sale took 75 days recently, so the market is not moving at one single speed. The opportunity is there, but the margin for sloppy decision-making is thin.
My read for anyone choosing when to begin is straightforward this is a market where price discipline matters more than urgency theater. In Loveland, CO, supply at 2.74 months gives sellers meaningful leverage, yet the 75-day typical sale timeline shows not every listing is being snapped up immediately. That combination usually points me toward selective action, not hesitation and not blind speed.
Build your search around the recent typical sold price of $480,000 and compare each option to that benchmark. Watch how close a home is priced to the recent asking level, since offers have been landing at 98.5% of list. Tour quickly, but do not skip your standards. Narrow your must-haves before you visit homes. Be ready to move on the right property without stretching past the numbers you already decided on.
