A Closer Look at the Denver Market
Despite a 7% year-over-year decrease in home prices, the median closed price for a Denver Metro home remains 10% higher than in April 2021. This signifies the strong holding power of home prices, primarily due to the high demand and scarcity of available inventory. In April, the number of new listings in the Denver Metro Area was significantly lower compared to the previous year, with a 29% decrease. In fact, the year-to-date new listings are the lowest seen in over a dozen years.
The Effects of Inventory and Interest Rates
The limited inventory in the Denver housing market has impacted both buyers and sellers. Homeowners have been hesitant to list their properties, contributing to the scarcity of available homes. As a result, the number of closings decreased in April, influenced by the lack of inventory and higher interest rates. However, there is a silver lining as buyer activity showed a month-over-month increase, with 12% more contracts written in April compared to March.
