In August, only 1,079 homes were up for sale in the Pikes Peak Region, which is 311 fewer homes than the previous month. We also saw 350 fewer listings hit the market.
In terms of sales, 1,771 homes actually sold in August, which is 200 fewer than in July. A decrease in sales is pretty typical for the month, however; people were probably trying to get into their new homes before the school year started back up again. There was a rush in July and the very beginning of August before things began to slow down. This year, the trend was even more exaggerated because of people’s access to virtual home tours.
