Life Style Denver by Gretchen Faber

Denver Colorado Real Estate Statistics | December 2011

The end of 2011 came with few surprises for those of us in real estate, and one big one.

The inventory of homes for sale in Metro Denver is nearly 40% below this time last year.  It’s so low, that I can remember a time when it was almost triple what it is now.

What this will most likely do is accelerate the pace of home sales. With less on the market, it should take less time to sell your house.

Eventually, the quicker sales pace will result in increasing prices.  This is always location and neighborhood specific.  The snapshot is city-wide, but prices, days on market and appreciation will vary block by block.

With less than 11,000 properties on the market in the entire city, buyers are feeling a little like they don’t have much to choose from.

The number of sold properties has increased over November and from a year ago, while prices are up just a bit.  Watch the first few months of the year to see inventory increase – it has to, and prices to increase as well.

Happy New Year Denver!
