For this year end market overview, we will take a quick annual look and then dig into December monthly stats.
First, Annual Update: 2022 was a tale of two markets. 2022 started with incredibly low inventory, incredibly low interest rates and intense buyer demand. It was a frenzy. Multiple offers, over list price, no inspection items and appraisal gaps were the norm. Homeowners realized 19.19% appreciation from January to April. Come mid-summer affordability and market uncertainty fuel an abrupt market change. Interest rates increased and buyer demand decreased. Median days on market increases and price reductions become a common theme. For 2022, Denver Metro peaked in April 2022 with an average single family detached home sales price of $819,090. Denver Metro ended the year with an average single family detached home sales price of $701,949.
The pandemic-driven frenzied market with historically low interest rates fueling record breaking years was not sustainable. The market as we head into 2023 is a more balanced market.
Next, a look at December. December historically is a cooler market and this year is no exception; even a little cooler. Closed home sales are down from both last month (November) and last year in December. December saw 59.4% of detached single family homes closing with price reductions averaging -7.8% from their original list price.
Bullet points with December stats:
~ The median sold price for single family homes (including attached and detached) in December is $554,990 which shows a 1.42% decrease from last month (Nov) and a 1.83% increase from December 2021.
