Denver's Market Trends - November 2020

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with House to Home, Inc. - Denver Real Estate - 720-231-6373 DRE# ER40011786

 

The stats are out for the month of November, and it has been a strange year as far as stats!   As of the end of November, we are experiencing SERIOUS low inventory, down 46.4% over one year ago.  I think many Sellers are nervous about listing their homes while we are seeing the virus, and combined with the Holidays, there is not much inventory.

 

 

The following data is courtesy of Joan Cox - House to Home, Inc.

 

Sellers should remember to list a home properly, as those over-priced homes will sit on the market.  (this includes land, attached properties, single-family homes and up to the mega-million dollar homes)  We are seeing more appraisals coming in lower than contract price and adjustments are being made by buyers and sellers.

 

See what homes are currently available - Active Homes for sale in Denver

 

Buyers - If you have thought about buying a home this year - NOW IS THE TIME!   The interest rate is unbelievable - below 3%.  You can buy more home than you could just six months ago.

 

Sellers - Pricing your home is very important, and not start too high, or you will be sitting on the listing for a while, as you now have competition.  If you don't have showings, you won't see an offer!   If you are thinking of selling but worried you won’t find a replacement home, I can enter into MLS the fact you require a contingency of a replacement home.   I may recommend unless you HAVE to sell right now, it may be easier once showings are allowed.

 

 

Homeowners - if you have thought about selling and like like a home evaluation, please let me know, I will contact you right away.  Relocating to Denver, and need some advice - see my Relocating to Denver information.

Interesting market report with the large differentials in active listings in the month and even more impressive is the increase in values with the decrease in days on market.  A very active market

Paul, our market is still strong, although the inventory is so slim.

Nina Hollander I don't think I have ever seen our actives being 3600.   To give you some insight, in 2008, complete buyer's market, we had 28,000 listings!

Thank you for the update.  Our market here in the Sacramento region is much the same with our inventory at a 20 year low.  It maybe a longer period, but the appraiser I follow only has data going back 20 years. 

I also think you are correct.  Sellers are reluctant to list with this pandemic in place.  Hopefully, the vaccines will help get us back to a more reasonable market.  It is really tough for buyers right now.

Thank you for the update!

Hi Joan Cox - the already low inventory is compounded by holidays and fear of virus.

Raymond Henson, SRES, GRI I think a few cities are experiencing this same scenario, and hoping the vaccines will create a safer feeling for our homeowners, and we can again see more listings.
