Denver Home Prices up 1.5% in April from March

 Some good news for Denver homes for sale today from the Denver Business Journal. While year over year home prices have declined, we’re starting to see a slow up trend in month over month statistics.

This news corresponds to what we’ve been seeing for a few months now. While the data always lags (these statistics are for April) over the last several months we’ve been seeing much more activity and many competing bids – especially for Denver HUD homes and Denver foreclosures.

Also, keep in mind these stats cover the entire Denver Metro area. Many citys, neighborhood and subdivisions lie on both extremes of the scale. For example, run down Aurora HUD homes can sit on the market for months while Highlands Ranch foreclosures tend to remain on the market longer than a week.
