**Summit County Market Update as of August 31**
**The Market**: Sales are down 7% and prices are up 8.6%. In addition,
the average days on the market is still historically low at 50. The
average percentage of list price to sold price is representative of a
continuing strong market at 98%.
**Condominium Sales**: Countywide, the number of sales are down about
15% while the average sold price for a condo is up 15%. Condo sales are
down in every town in the County except Keystone. The average sold price
for a condo in Summit County is $481,000.
**Home Sales:** The number of homes sold in Summit County as a whole is
up by about 6% and the average sold price is up 1%. That increase
indicates that the average sold price for a home today in Summit County
is about $1.2 million!
**New Sales & Resales**: Close to 10% of the sales this year have been
new construction. The new construction average sold price for
residential sales is $1,134,903 and the resale average sold price is
$739,229. 35% of what is currently under contract is new construction.
**Hottest Price Segment**: Sales in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range are
up 12% with an additional 53 properties sold so far this year compared
to the same segment in 2017. The price range that has dropped the most
in the number of sales is the under $500,000 segment (down 29% or 164
fewer sales).
**Supply**: Even though inventory is low, we have a 2.5 year supply of
$3,000,000+ priced properties, a little over a year supply of $1,500,000
to $3,000,000 priced properties; about a 6 month supply of $1,000,000 to
$1,500,000 priced properties; a short 3 to 4 month supply of $500,000 to
$1,000,000 properties and a less than two month supply of properties for
sale under $500,000.
Four Interior Design Disasters to Avoid
One person's love of leopard print could be another person's decorating
disaster. If you are looking to sell your home this year, avoid these
four no-nos.
**Wall-to-wall carpeting**. According to Jonathan Scott of the Property
Brothers, wall-to-wall carpeting holds many of life's unsavory side
effects like dirt, stains, and hair and may give potential buyers a
negative impression of your home's upkeep.
**Mirrored walls**. In theory, they should make a small space appear
larger. However, according to Scott, the effect can actually make your
room look like an "80s dance hall." Ditto the disco ball.
**Clutter**. Be particularly picky about the entrance hall, since it
provides the initial impression of your home's interior. Keep shoes,
winter wear, bags and other daily use items organized and out of sight.
Rearrange or remove furniture and décor throughout the home to make
each room appear as spacious and inviting as possible.
**Loud wallpaper**. Although wallpaper can add a pop of color that a
room desperately needs, a loud or dizzying pattern can turn off buyers.
If you want to add appealing hues, stick with paint.

Do You Need a Property Manager?
If you already own a rental property, or you're looking to get into the
business, the idea of having to deal with tenants and managing the
property might be daunting.
That's where property managers step in.
An experienced property manager will take over the responsibilities that
you might not want to handle. This may include surveying the market and
area to determine a reasonable and competitive rent.
Once your property has caught the eye of prospective tenants, the
manager can vet the tenants to make sure any potential renters will be
responsible and reliable. Once the tenants have been screened and
approved, and have moved in, property managers may be able to protect
you from potential lawsuits by staying up to date on your city's laws,
rules and regulations.
They are also able to take over the less desirable parts of property
management, such as handling emergency repairs, creating monthly
expenditure reports, taking care of important tax filings and performing
home visits. Fees vary widely depending on where you live, but most
managers will charge one month's rent to secure a tenant and then a
monthly fee to manage the property.
As with all things related to buying and renting property, you should
research qualifications and get recommendations before hiring a property
manager. I can refer you to reputable Summit County property managers.
Just give me a call at 970-390-9311 or email
me.

Ask Kelli:
**Why hasn't my home sold?**
First and foremost is price. Have you priced it realistically? Work with
a real estate agent who knows your area and can recommend a reasonable
price based on comparable sales and your home's condition.
The second common reason is condition. Is your kitchen outdated? Does
the exterior need a paint job? If your home needs work, you should
reflect this in the price or complete the necessary work.
Make sure your home is in top condition for showings. Turn on lights,
open blinds, declutter, deodorize and vacate the premises during
showings.
