Metro Denver Area Residential Market Update

We are watching the beautiful landscapes in the Denver Metro area come into full spring bloom, while the real estate market is also coming back to life! The optimism in the Denver real estate market is showing some strength as resilient buyers continue to battle affordability and financing when they find the right home at the right price.

The best news is inventory at the end of April jumped to 6,990 which is 51% higher than this time last year, and is providing more choices for Buyers with a huge thank you to Sellers getting back into the market!

We expect inventory to continue to climb through May and June, and Sellers make note that move-in ready homes priced correctly are selling notably faster and still attracting multiple offers. Homes that are not turnkey are struggling to find buyers, unless the proper pricing adjustments are made.

The Denver Metro area ranked as the hottest housing market in the country for a second year in a row according to a report from U.S. News & World Report!

Buyers, you have more choices in the market now, so please don’t procrastinate waiting for prices to come down as the market is up an average of 5% year over year.

We have extensive experience in this market, and look forward to helping with any of your real estate needs! Let’s spring into your new home this May, so you can enjoy it all summer!

Metro Denver Area Luxury Market Update

The Luxury market is very active right now with a nearly 14% increase in sales over this time last year, however buyers are being very picky. If the property isn’t perfect to meet their needs, they are moving onto the next property or waiting until what in their mind is the perfect property to come on the market.

What this translates into for sellers is that your property better be in great shape when it goes on the market, the old adage rings true, “you never have a second opportunity to make a first impression.” Presentation is critical, updates for current color trends is critical and pricing appropriately is critical. If you do all of these things then it is very likely that your property will sell within the first two weekends at very near or even possibly over your list price. If however you are missing one of the critical items of presentation, updates and appropriate pricing it is very likely that your property will be sitting on the market for approximately two months and you will likely experience the need to make a price reduction.

The great news for buyers is that there are over 50% more properties on the market this year than there was last year at this time giving you many more choices, prices have only increased slightly over last years prices and if you are willing to make some updates on a property to fit your own personal needs you can likely get a very good deal on a new home right now, there are sellers who are wanting to sell!
