Greater Metro Denver Real Estate Update – August 2017

Highlights of the Denver metro real estate market update — August 2017 data

The Denver metro real estate market was quite hot the first 6 months of the year. July and August’s data shows the shift we expected toward a cooling market (relative to recent months, we’re still in a very tight inventory market). Here are some of the highlights from August’s data:

• Detached single family active units show signs of declining with 4,887 available homes for sale which is a drop of -4.4% over the previous month. Attached single family reported also decreased by -1.0% in active units down from July to August bringing the count to 1,627. Both markets together represent 6,514 units for sale.
• Average sold price showed seasonal decline in DSF at $476,510 as well as in ASF at $317,051.
• 5,365 homes were placed under contract. A balanced market with a 6 month supply of inventory would require 32,190 active units.
• Average days on market remain low heading into August with DSF at 22 days to contract and ASF 18.
• 5% of DSF and 53.4% of ASF homes were under contract in 7 days or less, which caused 60.3% of homes to sell for at or over their asking price.
