Once again, with incredibly low inventory and interest rates as attractive as ever, home owners in the Denver real estate market are seeing the benefits of incredibly strong buyer activity through short term home value appreciation.
Is the Market Back?
Be patient in arriving at conclusions about the direction of the Denver real estate market. What remains to be seen is whether Denver slows in appreciation with continued national job loss, election year, economic questions, forbearance and societal disruption. Or, is Denver the tip of the spear, leading the local and national economies out of a period of hibernation?
Buyer / Seller Activity Sees Substantial Increase
We anticipated a surge of consumer activity in the Denver Metro real estate market as the public health order ban on in-person showings expired at midnight on Sunday, April 26th. Buyers and sellers were not disappointed as more homes hit the market and showing activity for a Monday and Tuesday was the highest seen yet this year.
Buyers Go Virtual, Sellers Remain Cautious
Governor Polis announced this week that the Colorado shelter-in-place order would not be extended beyond Sunday, April 26, while calling for an ongoing commitment to social distancing. For real estate, the Governor specifically stated in-person showings may resume starting Monday, April 27. Since this announcement, the real estate industry has been anticipating a surge of buyers and sellers re-engaging in the market.

Virtual Staging Consultations and/or Virtual Staging
If your property needs to be staged, we’ll set up a virtual staging consultation. If staging cannot happen or if time is of the essence, we’ll provide a visual of the property with “virtual” furniture. Through technology we can remove clutter, remove existing elements and replace with updated furnishings, or completely “furnish” a vacant property – virtually! Since staged homes sell faster and for more money, this is not a step to overlook!
