DENVER — If you're looking to buy a home in metro Denver, now might be the time to strike.
But, there's also good news for sellers in Our Colorado.
And – the fall and winter aren't the same dreary months for home sales seasons they used to be in Denver.
“In September, we had a 20 percent uptick in inventory which is crazy for September,” said Jennifer Oldham, a realtor with Coldwell Banker. “Normally in September, we're seeing inventory come down."
"Every single day I'm seeing houses coming on the market," Oldham said.
"I thought it would take three weeks or a month to sell, and it sold in two days," Oldham said.
"In fact, homes aren't selling any slower, and we're still seeing appreciation," said Kerron Stokes, a realtor with RE/MAX.
According to the latest numbers from the RE/MAX national housing report, in metro Denver - total home sales were down 27 percent from August to September.
But, the median sales price was up 6 percent from the same time last year - to $395,000. An all-time high.
"If you go from the speed of light, which was what the market was doing before, to the speed of sound, it feels a little slower. But it's still really fast,” Stokes said. “You're not standing still."
And in fact, in the price range of $250-$350,000, experts say there's still so much excitement and demand, homes are still causing bidding wars.
"This house was listed at $485,000,” Oldham said of her Aurora listing. “I didn't expect it to sell in two days. I really thought it was going to take a month. But boy - buyers were out in force, and they wanted this house."
