Colorado is expected to grow in population by 40% over the next 25 years. If you are going to invest in a home, now is the time. The math doesn’t lie, at a 2.5% 30-year fixed interest rate, your principal and interest payment on a $750,000 purchase with 20% down would be $2,370/month. How will you take advantage of the market?
Record sales and skyrocketing appreciation along the front range in 2020 were driven by high demand from an increasing Colorado population, low interest rates and lifestyle changes for many. Will we get the virus under control? Will politics settle down? Will the U.S. economy continue its recovery? These are macro questions that will influence our local market and factors we continue to analyze.
With 30-year fixed interest rates at 2.5% and households demanding more from their at-home work and school environments, buyer activity continues to be unseasonably strong. In this market, sellers have tremendous negotiating power and depending on the situation, can work in extra time to find a replacement home if needed.
This time last year, Denver’s days on market listings were ½ of what they are today, prices are up, and inventory is remarkably low. Combine these factors with current interest rates, and we see the market is remaining strong.

Fall season typically marks a slowing of the real estate market. We see a slight decline in home values and reduction in market activity every year. EXCEPT THIS YEAR. While an unusually high 1,534 homes hit the market last week, 1,631 homes went under contract, further widening the supply and demand gap.
Another week of records! 1,658 homes under contract last week is 45% higher than the last 3-year average.

We thought prices might increase by 6% over the last 6 week period. The Average Weekly Sales Price has SKYROCKETED from a low of $483,563 to an all time high of $575,025, two weeks ago. That’s an 18.9% increase in 10 weeks. The number of homes being listed for sale has remained at, or only slightly above the seasonal weekly average, creating a serious supply issue.
