We have seen dramatic growth and appreciation over the last several years in the Real Estate market here. In the past 5 years, LoHi Real Estate has seen growth at an average of 11.6% a year. This is driven from an abundance of demand, with extremely low inventory available. As seen in Forbes “America’s Best Hipster Neighborhoods”, LoHi ranked 17th in the country. This is one of the many reasons people choose to move here, click here to read why LoHi is so great. Deciding to move here is the easy part, actually finding the right home for you is challenging because of the lack of inventory. It’s vital to have a realtor who is diligently looking on your behalf so you can pounce the moment something hits the market, as most everything will have multiple offers overnight if priced right.
