Housing Inventory Increased, Sales Declined

The metro Denver real estate market in April showed an increase in active listings by 44% compared to the previous year, with the number of homes up by 33% and the number of condos up by 80%. However, the 6,600 active listings remained well below the historical average of 14,300 for this time of year. If we don’t see an increase in new inventory getting brought to the market, we might see fiercer competition for what few listings we do have available. Under Contract listings decreased by 18% from the previous year, consistent with national trends, indicating a lack of mortgage applications from buyers. Overall sales were down 30% from April 2022, with homes and condos performing similarly to each other. 

The average sales price declined by 5.6% in Denver compared to the previous year but remained more stable than in most other western US cities (e.g., Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles). The average price for homes and condos in April was $682,000. Properties sold for an average of 0.21% above the asking price, showing a more competitive market than we’ve had so far this year.
