Metro Denver Real Estate Market Update, October 9, 2020

Last month was the most difficult month ever to buy a home in Metro Denver. Low interest rates and a desire for more space propelled buyers into the market. Record low inventory, stricter lending standards and high home prices made the market extremely competitive. It was difficult for many buyers to get the homes they wanted. Our clients were competing against over 20 other offers in some situations!

Metro Denver Real Estate Market Activity

If you’re thinking of selling a home, now is a great time to get top dollar. You won’t have as much competition as in previous years and low interest rates, changing demographics and increasing wages are driving people to buy. As always, it’s important to price your home properly. In August, over 25% of homes that sold were reduced in price before they were sold. Homes with price reductions were on the market for an average of 58 days compared to 12 days for those without price reductions.
