Inventory is on the Rise This Spring, As It Should Be

Denver’s real estate market in March showed a significant increase in active listings, up by a whopping 103% from last year, signaling a potential shift in the market. With around 4,500 active properties at the end of the month, this is still significantly lower than the 30-year average of about 13,600 listings at this time of year. However, the increase is notable, given that the market has been exceptionally tight for the past few years. This indicates that sellers are becoming more comfortable with the current market environment, despite the economic downturn and fluctuating mortgage rates. Regardless of the increase in listings, prices have dropped by an average of around 5% from last year, with homes experiencing a more significant decline of 6% and condos dropping by 4%. The average days on market increased to 37 days, compared to just 12 days in March of last year. Furthermore, 37% of homes required at least one price reduction to sell, indicating that sellers may still need to be flexible with their pricing.
