Hey everyone, welcome back. Chris Holthauser here. This is the Elevated Property Podcast. Real conversations about what's actually happening in Northern Colorado real estate. No fluff, no spin, just the honest picture of what's going on in this market. Today we are talking about one specific community, Harmony Club in Timnath, just outside Fort Collins. If you know this neighborhood, you already know it's one of the most sought-after addresses in all of Northern Colorado. Championship golf, resort amenities, mountain views, homes that start well over a million dollars. It is a genuinely exceptional place to live. And if you own a home there and you've been thinking about selling, this episode is specifically for you. Because here's the thing about the luxury market: people often assume that a premium home just sells itself, that the address does the work. And sometimes that's true. But the data from Harmony Club right now is telling a more complicated story. And I think you deserve to hear it before you make one of the biggest financial decisions of your life. There is one number from the most recent data that I want every Harmony Club seller to see before they decide how to price their home. We'll get there. But before we do, if you stick around to the end of this episode, there is something specific in here for Harmony Club homeowners thinking about listing. Alright, let's get into it. Okay, first things first, let me make sure we're all on the same page about what this community actually is. Because I think even people who live in northern Colorado sometimes underestimate it. Harmony Club is a premier golf and active lifestyle community located in the town of Timnath, Colorado. And Timnath, for anyone who's not familiar, is one of those places that's genuinely figured out the balance. You are minutes from Fort Collins, minutes from I-25, minutes from some of the best employers in the region. Colorado State University, Hewlett-Packard, Otterbox, Woodward. And yet, it doesn't feel like any of that. It feels like a retreat. The golf course alone sets this community apart. We are talking about a Jim Eng design championship course, one of the most acclaimed in northern Colorado. Homes here literally line the fairways. You wake up and that is your backyard. That is not something you can replicate. And the amenities go well beyond golf. You've got a saltwater resort pool with a 41-foot water slide, a jetted spa, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball, scenic walking trails winding through native landscapes, and an on-site restaurant that residents genuinely love. Not a clubhouse cafeteria, but a real dining experience. That matters. Mountain views, tree-lined streets, a community where the median household income is well above average, and the median age tells you this is a place where people have worked hard and chosen very deliberately. This is not a neighborhood you end up in by accident. People who buy here know exactly what they're getting, and they expect it to be exceptional. Now, why does all of that matter if you're thinking about selling? Because at this price point, buyers aren't just evaluating your house, they are evaluating the lifestyle, the community, the amenities, the location. And when you can walk a buyer through everything this neighborhood offers, the golf, the amenities, the proximity to Fort Collins, the mountain views, that is a story that justifies the price. But only if everything else lines up. And that's where the data comes in. Alright, let's talk numbers. And I want to walk through this carefully because Harmony Club is a small, thin market, and that changes how you read the data. First thing to understand, right now there are six homes actively listed in Harmony Club. Six. In a community of this caliber, in all of northern Colorado, six homes. That is an incredibly thin inventory. And on the surface you might think, great, less competition. And you're right to a point. Scarcity is one of the things that protects value in a luxury market. But it also means that every data point is more volatile because one transaction can move the needle significantly. Keep that in mind as we go through these numbers. Median sales prices in 2026 have been ranging from 1.5 million to just over $2.1 million. That is true luxury territory for Northern Colorado. Price per square foot is running in the $350 to $380 range right now, and that's held relatively consistent. So from a value standpoint, the fundamentals are solid. This neighborhood commands a premium, and it has for years. Days on Market. This one requires some context. In 2026, median days on market has ranged from 55 days all the way up to 154 days, depending on the month. And that volatility is normal in a small market. When you have only one or two sales in a month, one outlier property pulls the whole average. But here is what I want you to take from that range. 55 days is achievable. 154 days is also very real. And the difference between those two outcomes is almost always pricing and presentation. Almost always. Now, here is the number I mentioned at the top of this episode, the one I think every Harmony Club seller needs to see. In April 2026, the median percent of original list price versus sold was 83%. On a $2 million home, and that is right in the middle of the current price range, 83% means a seller walked away with $340,000 less than they asked for. Now, to be fair, this is one month's data in a very small market. March was ninety-seven percent, February was ninety-one percent. So we are not in a free fall. But that April number is a signal. And the signal is this. In Harmony Club, overpricing is not just a strategy that slows you down, it is a strategy that can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. Luxury buyers are sophisticated, they have seen a lot of properties, they know the market, and when something is priced wrong, they wait, they negotiate hard, or they walk. Here's what is encouraging though. Months of supply is sitting at three months right now, which is a balanced market. Spring is showing signs of life. New listings picked up to four in April. Under contract activity has been active. The buyers are there, the demand is real. This is not a broken market, it is a precise one. And precision in pricing, in presentation, in timing, is what makes the difference between a great outcome and a frustrating one. So let me talk directly to anyone in Harmony Club who's been thinking about listing. Luxury buyers are different. At this price point, the people walking through your door have done extensive research before they ever schedule a showing. They've likely seen 30 or 40 properties. They bring architects, designers, sometimes a contractor, before they've even made an offer. They are not buying a house on a motion alone. They are making a calculated decision about whether this home justifies this price at this stage of their life. And they will find every reason not to buy if you give them one. So let me give you the short version of what I tell every seller I work with in this community before we go live. Because getting this right matters even more here than it does at lower price points. The stakes are higher, the scrutiny is deeper. First, curb appeal. In Harmony Club, the exterior of your home is competing with a championship golf course backdrop. Fresh landscaping, a crisp front entry, a home that looks impeccable from the street. These are not optional at this price point. They are the price of admission. Luxury buyers make decisions in the first 30 seconds. Make those seconds count. Second, declutter and depersonalize. Buyers at this level need to see the architecture, the finishes, the bones of what makes this home worth over a million dollars. When a home is full of personal items and furniture that doesn't complement the space, it makes it harder for a buyer to see the value. I'm not saying strip it, I'm saying curate it. There's a difference. Let the home speak for itself. Third, deferred maintenance. Whatever you've been meaning to fix, fix it. I know at this price point it can feel like small repairs don't matter. But here's the thing. A sophisticated buyer who walks in and sees a door that doesn't close right, a grout line that's been ignored, a fixture that's outdated, they don't think I can fix that. They think, what else haven't they maintained? It becomes a negotiating point and a trust issue. Deal with it before they arrive. And fourth, how your home is presented. Photos, video, virtual tour. At this price point, there is absolutely no excuse for anything less than world-class photography and videography. Luxury buyers often spend hours online researching a property before they ever set foot in it. If your photos don't do justice to a home that commands $2 million, they're moving on. The digital showing is the first showing. Make it extraordinary. None of this is complicated, but doing it at the level this market demands and making sure you don't leave $300,000 on the table because of a pricing mistake or a presentation gap, that's where having the right team makes all the difference. So here is something concrete. Right now, for homeowners in Harmony Club who list with Loft Group, we are including $1,000 toward home preparation services. The walkthrough, the guidance, the hands-on help making sure your home is positioned to compete at the top of this market, that is part of what you get when you work with us. $1,000. For Harmony Club sellers who list with Loft Group specifically. Because at this price point, the details matter. And we want to make sure you walk into this market with everything you need to win. And even if you're not ready to list tomorrow, even if you're just starting to think about it, the best thing you can do is have a conversation now, before you're in a rush. Because in a market with only six active listings, timing and positioning are everything. The sellers who plan ahead, who price right, show well, and understand what luxury buyers actually need, those are the ones who close on their timeline, at the number they deserve. Look, Harmony Club is one of the most remarkable communities in northern Colorado. The golf course, the amenities, the location, the lifestyle, it is genuinely exceptional. And the buyers who want to be there know it. But the data is honest. This market rewards sellers who approach it correctly, and it has a way of making things very difficult for sellers who don't. The gap between a great outcome and a frustrating one in this community comes down to strategy, pricing, presentation, and working with someone who actually knows how this market behaves. If you want to talk through what your home is worth right now, what it would take to position it correctly, or just get an honest read on where things stand, I want to hear from you.
