In her June Market Trends report, Nicole Rueth states: “Real estate is not dire, but it is strained. Some sellers are crushing it with 40 plus showings, 11 plus offers, and well over asking. Some buyers are finding the deal of the year in a slower neighborhood or unperfect home.” Her words reflect what I am seeing out in the field. Some homes are flying off the market, others are sitting. Some Buyers are winning deals under list price, other Buyers are faced with a multiple offer competition. The market is strange, odd, or as Nicole states, strained.
The Denver Metro median closed price is 3% lower than last May; however, there have been 4 consecutive months of increases. In May, homes closed at 99.5% of list price, indicating a slight advantage for buyers over sellers.
