Savvy Buyers and Sellers Shine Amidst Distracting Headlines!


The real estate world has been abuzz with news surrounding the National Association of Realtors' proposed settlement in the Sitzer-Burnett case. Despite media projections of doom and gloom for real estate professionals, the Denver market remains resilient. The spring market has exceeded expectations, with metrics such as pending and closed transactions, as well as sales prices, all showing month-over-month increases. Another positive indicator of a bustling market is the Days on Market metric, which saw its percentage cut in half month over month – indicating that buyers are placing homes under contract twice as fast in March as they did in February. While the price increases both month-over-month and year-over-year represent a more normalized pattern compared to the chaotic double-digit increases seen during the Covid years, certain aspects of the current market, such as multiple offers, appraisal and inspection limitations or waivers, and homes going under contract within days of listing, evoke memories of those turbulent times.


The most active and thus competitive price segment for detached properties continues to be the $500,000 to $749,000 range, with 1,277 closed sales and 1,573 active listings. Similarly, the most active and thus competitive price segment for attached properties remains the $300,000 to $499,999 range, with 364 closed sales and 765 active listings.

Info For Sellers: Eager Buyers Under Contract Twice as Fast as February


The increase in closed prices coupled with the significant decrease in Days on Market demonstrates that buyers are eager, placing properties under contract twice as fast as they did in February. While the spring market continues to heat up, it's worth noting a seasonal trend observed in normal (non-Covid) years. According to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, "In Denver, peak price premiums were observed in the second half of May, with sales commanding a 2.9 percent premium over the rest of the year." This suggests that homes closing in late May likely went under contract in late April, as the under-contract process typically lasts about 30 days. After June, prices historically tend to decline until December. Therefore, if you've been contemplating selling, you may maximize profits by acting sooner rather than later.

Info For Buyers: Increased Inventory!


Sellers seem to be responding to the Federal Reserve's announcement of three rate cuts this year by slowly increasing inventory. Buyers are pleased to see additional options entering the market. However, it's essential to remember that as sellers release their properties, they become your competition.


In a bustling real estate market like Denver's, staying competitive as a buyer requires a strategic approach. First, getting pre-approved for a mortgage is key—it shows sellers you're serious and ready to make a move. Working closely with a knowledgeable real estate agent who knows the ins and outs of the local scene can be a game-changer. It's also important to keep an open mind about your preferences and be willing to act fast when you find a property you love. Making strong offers off the bat can help you stand out from the crowd. And above all, staying positive and persistent, even in the face of competition, can ultimately lead you to your dream home.
