Metro Denver Housing Market Update – August 2021

August 17, 2021

Denver’s record-low housing inventory eased up in July — Phew! Here are some quick stats to illustrate the point…

Denver metro real estate market trends
  • Average active listings for July is 16,302 (1985-2020).
  • Record-high July was 2006 with 31,989 listings.
  • Record-low July was set this year with 4,056 listings.
  • The historical average increase in active listings from June to July is 3.15%. This July posted the highest increase of 29.9%!

The median rental price hit a new high of $1,575 in June, up 8.1% over last year. 44 of the 50 largest housing markets posted new highs in July.

The Colorado Department of Local Affairs Division of Housing has published a new website to simplify obtaining emoergency rental assistance as well as upcoming homeowner relief, and awareded $6 million through the Colorado State Housing Board for affordable housing in June.

In 2018, 39% of homeowners has mortgage rates under 4%. In 2021, it is up to 63%, making it harder for homeowners to justify selling.

One of the largest operators of rental homes (about 25,000) in the U.S. will soon have about $5 billion to buy single-family houses nationally, which equates to about 18,000 houses to purchase and rent out. By reducing owned homes and increasing rental homes, should this big market player effect the market a bit, it may support or increase house valuations due to less supply and decrease rental rates due to increased supply.

Let’s take a look at the Denver housing market reports with data from last month…

House prices are typically reported nominally. In other words, without adjusting for any inflation. Just like other goods and services, the price of a house today is not directly comparable to the price of that same house 30 years ago because of the long-run influence of inflation in the economy. The RHPI helps provide an alternative view of the change over time of house prices in different markets across the country.

Metro Denver Real Estate News in July 2021

Mortgage Interest Rates Slide to Recent Lows

George Ratiu, senior economist at realtor.com said ”Many sellers are going to take advantage of higher prices. This summer is going to signal the move to the next chapter, and this will very much be the year they’re going to put their home on the market.” and “…expect to see volatility in interest rates until there is more clarity from the Fed & less danger from COVID to business activity.”

Metro Denver’s housing market hits the brakes in July
