January Housing Statistics for Denver

The latest market statistics for Denver Homes has been released for January, and once again, the numbers are very positive.

The demand for homes remains high. A close look at the chart below shows that Sold homes have increased 13% year-over-year while homes currently on the market (Active) have only increased 7%. This has resulted in a roughly 2 month supply of homes on the market.

The number of Under Contract homes fell 18% in January compared to last year. This is a figure we will watch closely to see if it is related to a lack of inventory or another cause.

Finally, the number that should really be highlighted here is the Average Sold Price. Prices have climbed 10% from last year. This is great news if you are a current homeowner, but if you have been putting off buying a home, waiting longer can cost you tens of thousands of dollars.

If you are looking at a $200,000 home today and prices continue the current trend, that home will cost you $220,000 next year. Factor in the rising interest rates, and waiting a year could be the worst financial mistake you every make.
