Interest rates continue to be relatively low and consistent. Listings continue to slowly hit the market, while buyers continue to gobble up properties as soon as they do. A direction of resiliency, strength, and the possibility of fun was on the horizon. For sellers, the latter has proven true while buyers continue with themes of resilience and strength to overcome this tough seller’s market.” Buyer fatigue is very common in this competitive Denver housing market however, that does not stop the Denver Metro area buyers from slowing down or giving up because of increased opportunities rising in an extreme market.
