Denver Real Estate News – October 2023
An Unexpected Surge in New Listings
In a departure from the typical August lull, the metro Denver market showed an 8% month-over-month surge in New Listings since July. That’s a shocking increase since historically we would never expect activity to speed up moving from summer into fall.
It’s too early to tell if this is an ongoing trend or just a blip, but Your Castle Founder Lon Welsh thinks it may be due to a recent rise in seller sentiment. Potentially, sellers have given up on waiting for rates to go down this year, and rate hikes have convinced some to cave into the pressure of life events that usually make people move (having kids, getting divorced, upsizing, downsizing, a death in the family, etc.) However, it’s still too early to tell why more new listings were added in August.
Despite fluctuating rates, which reached a peak of 7.5% in mid-August, the market seems to be holding steady. Homes are selling right at the asking price, as opposed to at a premium. With a mere 2 Months of Inventory (MOI), the market still leans in sellers’ favor, but the new listings give a glimmer of hope to buyers.
