Housing inventory continues increasing despite typical seasonal decrease, home prices fall and sales of single-family homes priced over $500,000 drop in September.
In September, housing inventory continued to move higher, even though it typically decreases this time of year, and home prices dropped nearly 5 percent since its record-peak highs this past May and June.
"The housing inventory and home price adjustments are normal and expected," said Steve Danyliw, Chairman of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and Metro Denver REALTOR®. "What's not normal? Sales of single-family homes priced over $500,000 dropping 33 percent from August to September. For those sellers, that's real turbulence."
Looking deeper in the numbers, active listings in the residential market (single-family and condos) finished September at 8,807 total units, up a significant 16.10 percent year over year. The condo segment remains strong, up 21.13 percent year over year. The number of sold listings in the residential market decreased 28.91 percent compared to month prior, and 20.24 percent from last September. Year to date, 42,990 homes have sold - down 3.04 percent from 2017.
The condo market saw a healthy uptick in average days on market, increasing to 24 days compared to 20 last September. The most active price segment for the single-family market in September was the $300,000 to $399,999, and $200,000 to $299,999 for condos.
According to Danyliw, "More signs of cooling can be seen with months of inventory increasing to 2.33 months for single-family homes in September compared to 1.68 months the month prior, and increasing to 1.93 months for condos compared to 1.48 months in August."
In looking at the single-family home market, the average sold price decreased 3.79 percent month over month to $502,034, while the median price decreased 2.73 percent to $428,000. The year-to-date average sold price stands at $523,224 for the single-family home market, up 9.16 percent from last year, with the median sold price at $445,000, up 8.54 percent. Condos continue to outperform single-family home prices with the average sold price of $350,766, representing an 11.38 percent increase over 2017. The median price of condos sold also increased by 12.34 percent to $299,900.
