Things are going gangbusters around here. Every week there’s not enough homes to keep up with insane demand, and buyers keep paying high prices because they’re competing for something that’s in limited supply.

From Aspen to Parachute, there were 150 new listings in April and 211 sold. The ratio of new listings to sold homes is .71:1.

There have been more sales than listings in 7 of the past 8 months.

To put things in perspective, in a balanced market, six months is considered normal to sell a home. As of the end of April, it took 3.2 months--for the entire local market.

And, prices keep going up, up, and up.

I'll get to my kidney in just a minute. First--our housing market is a beast for buyers right now. We do not have enough inventory to meet current demand.
