Longmont, CO home prices have doubled since November 2008, from $205,454 to $406,762. That’s roughly 12% appreciation each year. Home buyers are finding that these homes are selling like hotcakes.

Longmont first crossed the $400,000 average threshold in September 2016, and will likely continue to do so throughout 2017. There are no indicators saying this trend will change anytime soon.
