Highlands | Homes

In 2025, Highlands logged one home closing at $1,355,000 after 446 days on market, and it was not fully turnkey. For buyers, the long timeline plus update scope created room to stay choosy and negotiate from a position of strength. For sellers, it was a clear reminder that the market pays up for move-in-ready condition—when a home needs work, sharper pricing and tighter positioning are what generate showings and bring it across the finish line.

What This Says About Today’s Buyer

Buyer behavior has stayed mixed: more scrutiny on value and build-readiness, longer decision cycles, and less tolerance for “testing” above comps. Across the broader mountain-adjacent market, 2025 outcomes have reflected a near-even split between financed and cash purchases (with some VA activity), reinforcing that well-priced opportunities are still clear—just with more patience and sharper negotiation.
