February 2021 Real Estate Update for Denver Metro Area
The February Denver Metro Real Estate Market Update and market final figures for January shows listings DOWN 55.2% from January 2020. This lack of homes for sale (3,192)) is creating bidding wars again.
In my 22 years in the real estate business I have NEVER seen inventory this low and the bidding wars this tough. To put that in historic perspective a normal level of homes on the market (inventory) is normally around 20,000.
Buyers put 5,806 homes Under Contract – a 20% INCREASE from January 2020. So last month buyers put more homes (5,806) Under Contract than we had in inventory at the end of the month (3,192). WOW!
Listing Agents are reporting that homes are getting 60+ showings in 2 days; it is not unusual to get double digit number of offers; a lot of the offers are for cash; I am hearing reports of some homes around $550,000 price range getting $100,000 OVER ASKING PRICE. If you are a buyer in this market, it is imperative that you work with an experienced agent that can best present your offer to win the bidding wars.
The Average Sold Price had a slight increase last month to $540,857 in January compared to $540,846 in December. On an annual basis it's up 15.7% from a year ago. If buyer demand stays steady and number of homes for sale stays low, prices will continue to increase because of the #1 rule in economics of supply and demand.
In January 3,925 homes were sold/closed. The absorption rate has dropped again – if no other home came on the market it would take approximately 18 days to absorb/sell all the homes currently on the market (3,192). Anything under 6 months absorption rate is a sellers’ market, so we’re still in a very strong sellers’ market with less than a month of inventory.
That means it’s a VERY, VERY good time to sell but a buyer may experience bidding wars.
That’s the February Denver Metro Real Estate Market Update with the final January statistics.
