Overall, the El Paso County real estate market cooled in October, showcasing higher-than-normal inventory levels and longer days on market when compared to recent trends. After the much-anticipated October Fed rate drop, mortgage lenders have reported an uptick in mortgage rate shopping; however, anecdotally we hear that local real estate professionals have not yet seen this translate into more home sales. A few potential variables that may be keeping buyers from purchasing include the upcoming election, seasonality as the real estate market heads into winter with the holiday season, as well as anticipation of further rate reductions to come.
Key highlights are below.
