There's an article from the Rocky Mountain News regarding Denver's existing home sales in 2004.
- Existing Home Sales: $14.9BN, 4% greater than '04.
- Average Price: $281,188 up 5.8%
- ~1,000 fewer homes were sold in '05 than in '04, a decrease of about 1.9%.
- Current Inventory: ~13% greater than the same time in '04.
- DOM: Homes sold an average of 90 days on market. An increase of 5.9% from '04
The analysis of what's happening in the price tranches seems spot-on. The low end of the price spectrum has slowed because buyers looking at those properties were also the ones most affected by increases in home heating costs and gasoline prices. The latest news is that Consumer Confidence has strongly rebounded, so perhaps we'll start to see more activity at lower price points moving into the new year. That would be great for our listing at 205 Agate Way, already priced well below neighborhood comps and positioned for a quick sale.
