Read on for a report on Arvada Home Sales:

43% of Arvada homes sold between $400,000 and $500,000 in April 2013 closed at or above list price.  Pretty nice stat!  In this price point, competition with new construction can be a concern, but only 2 of those sold last arvada homes, denver boulder real estate, new construction, sellers marketmonth were new construction.

The really nice thing happening in this price point of Arvada homes is the increase in the number sold; twice as many this year as the same month last year or the year before.

Last month, I reported a 3-month inventory (absorption rate) in this price point, but now it has whittled down to two months.

I also reported bad news about the number of days on market last month, but this month you can see the red line on the graph shows a lovely downward drop.

How to sell a house in this price range:  Carefully analyze the competition and positon yourself advantageously. Buyers in this price point aren't as sensitive to a $5,000 or $10,000 difference, but sometimes a little change can make a big difference.

How to buy a house in this price range:  Know the neighborhood(s) where you really want your new home to be, and get familiar with what's out there, even a month or two before you really want to finalize your purchase.

This report includes only detached single family Arvada homes listed or sold between $400,000 and $500,000.  I’m using the term ‘distressed sales’ to refer to short sales and foreclosures. A ‘regular’ sale may also have been ‘distressed’ in the sense that the home was in need of major work.

Things really are picking up quite a bit, Joetta.  Great advice for buyers to scout out and research the area they want to live in at least a month ahead of time!

Thanks for the read and the comment, Jennifer.  These reports can be so boring to write every month, it's nice to know people see them.

Hi Joetta - so many markets across the country  are experiencing low inventory of properties for sale.  It's important for prospective buyers to have a good relationship with one local Realtor to keep them informed so they can react quickly.   Here's to more inventory on the market....and SOON!
