Denver housing market: Strategic pricing drives success in August
Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 23:48:42 GMT
As interest rates remain high and more homes become available, pricing in the Denver metro housing market remains a science.“If a home is priced correctly, or even under market, it may still receive multiple offers,” said Libby Levinson-Katz, chair of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors Market Trends Committee in the September report.“However, if the price is slightly high, then days on the market climb until you find the right buyer or the right price.”According to the report, active listings in Denver increased 9% in August from July and 19% over August 2022. The average number of active listings for August is 15,900, so with 6,858 active listings last month, the metro area’s inventory remains historically low.The number of new listings increased about 2%. At the same time, pending sales dropped nearly 1%, and closed sales declined 2%. The median closed price dropped to $582,000 while the median days on the market increased to 11 days.“Buye...Disneyland agrees to pay $9.5M in Magic Key lawsuit
