Some more great news for Denver homes came out today. According to the latest report from S&P/Case-Schiller, Denver posted it's 5th straight month of year over year increased home prices.
This parallels all of the reports we've been seeing for the past 6 months and is what we have predicted to happen due to the decreased home inventory on the market.
This report details only Single Family Denver homes and does not include Denver condos. It is also not mentioned in the article how the sales of Denver foreclosures or Denver HUD homes was factored in. You can read the entire article at The Denver Business Journal's site:
For the fifth straight month, metro Denver posted a year-over-year increase in home prices in May, at a pace that eclipsed all but three of the nation’s 20 largest markets, according to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Prices Index, released Tuesday.
Denver’s five consecutive months of year-over-year price gains followed 18 months of declines, according to the closely-followed monthly report on average home-resale prices from Standard & Poor’s.
Denver prices were up 3.7 percent in May from the same month of 2011, the Case-Shiller report said. That followed year-over-year gains of 2.8 percent in April, 2.6 percent in March, 0.5 percent in February and 0.2 percent in January.
