Denver Real Estate Market Report
After my introduction of Band Graphs to the Denver real estate market last month, we decided to continue to report Metro area real estate statistics this way. So many people contacted me to say they really enjoy how easy it is to read them; all of a sudden all the numbers make sense! I agree. We have way too many numbers in our lives and anything that can be done to simplify this report is a good thing! Most buyers want to know they are doing the right thing when negotiating for a home. Armed with the proper information they can feel so much better about making the right offer. On the other side of the transaction, home sellers want to know why their home isn't selling as fast as they like and if they are priced in the market.Knowledge is power, knowing what the market is doing is the first step.
As a word of caution, these statistics are for entire areas, which means they may or may not address the correct values on your street. For that you need more detailed information, so use these numbers as a guide. The easily read band graphs provide the following information:- Number of Sold Properties in each MLS region
- Number of Active Listings
- Number of weeks of inventory
- Average Sold Price
- Average Days on Market (DOM)
Note the color coded band that indicates what type of market each area is typically considered to be in. High inventory means an extreme BUYER’s market. A low inventory of homes available for sale indicates an Extreme Seller’s Market.
