Trick or Treat? It depends on the timing in our October market. Libby Levinson-Katz, Vice Chair of the DMAR Market Trends Committee is on point with a summary of the Denver October market stats: “The October market data showcases a tale of two markets. In the first half of the month, buyers were lured back into the market by a brief break in interest rates. Leading up to the highly anticipated Fed rate cut, mortgage rates hit a 19-month low in September at 6.1 percent bolstering sales into October. However, with stronger-than-expected economic data throughout October, rates continued their upward climb, crossing the seven percent threshold by the end of the month. The swift rise in rates created a “pause” effect, amplifying the anticipated election-related paralysis among buyers in the latter half of the month.”
