This 3 Bedroom, 2 bathroom home is 1664 Sqft and was under contract in 2 days from listing and closed with a cash offer. I’ve watched as the new owners have made some major exterior changes to the home, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see this property come back on the market again later in 2021 with and updated price. Stay tuned!
1018 Akin, Fort Collins, CO 80521
List Price: $425,000
Sold Price: $402,500
Difference: $22,500
This is a side by side duplex where each unit was a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom and roughly 420-460 SQFT. Each unit was renting for $1300. The property was under contract in just 4 days. The original buyer on the property terminated based on a foundational crack, but once it hit the market again, it sold in quick fashion.
302 N Meldrum St #209, Fort Collins, CO 80521
List Price: $684,700
Sold Price: $684,700
Difference: $0
This corner unit luxury condo has 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and a total sqft of 1362. It was under contract in 26 days from listing and ended up closing at list price with a conventional loan. Having toured these properties before, they are a very nice product, but you end up paying a premium in the complex for a pretty small sqft. Great option for a lock and leave property however!
310 Olive St Units A, C, D, Fort Collins, CO 80521
All 3 Units listed by Jennifer Fields, Remax Alliance FTC - South
List Price: $725,000-$850,000
Sold Price: Currently Available for Purchase
Difference: NA
These luxury condos right across the street from the downtown post office are still currently being built with an estimated completion date of July 2021. These should be a really nice home once completed, although the HOA fee is pretty high relative to many others out there ($495/month). I would expect the HOA to cover a majority of excess costs for living in the property.
1331 W Mountain Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80521
List Price: $1,200,000
Sold Price: $1,145,000
Difference: $55,000
Originally listed in late 2020 for $1,270,000, this property was smartly removed from the market and relisted in the new year for $1,200,000. It is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom home with 3224 SQFT that is packed with historic details on the premier Old Town Fort Collins St of Mountain Ave. The property still did take 48 days to go under contract, but this is not uncommon for the more expensive homes around town.
118 S. Whitcomb St, Fort Collins, CO 80521
List Price: $1,150,000
Sold Price: Still Available for Sale
Difference: NA
This is a peculiar property in that it is licensed to operate as a non-primary residence short term rental. This is becoming more and more uncommon recently as the city has imposed some pretty strict guidelines on what type of homes can operate in this manner. I think that it would probably have a better chance of selling at this price if it were converted back into a single family residence with at least 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.
311 N Howes St, Fort Collins, CO 80521
List Price: $1,325,000
Sold Price: $1,280,000
Difference: $45,000
The Brownstones on Howes were built just a few years back and have really held their value well over the past 6 years. This particular property is a 3 bed, 5 bath townhome that has 2911 total sqft including a rare rooftop deck. The property was under contract 25 days after listing and was packed full of luxury details.
