Q&A: "The News Says Real Estate is Cooling. Is That True in Castle Rock?"

If you watch national news, you might think the housing market is in trouble. But real estate is hyper-local. What is happening in Phoenix or Austin has nothing to do with Castle Rock.

Q: Why are prices holding steady here?

A: We look at "Micro-Markets." In Castle Rock, specific school zones and price bands are actually seeing inventory shortages, keeping prices high.

Q: Can I trust the Zestimate?

A: Algorithms are great for averages, but terrible at nuance. They don't know about your view, your new kitchen, or the specific demand on your street. I use a "Cell-Level Analysis" (ZIP + Property Type) to value homes.
