Housing Market Update
The above chart is courtesy of my board, the Denver Metropolitan Association of Realtors (DMAR) for the month of March compared to last year. As you can see, homes are selling quicker since the Days on the Market is down to 20, the number of Active Listings is down 75% from last year but the Average Closing Price is up over 15%. I can definitely attest to the shortage as all 3 of my recent listings sold within a matter of days, had multiple offers and nearly 40-50 showings. Don't be discouraged though if you are looking, we have all kinds of great ideas on how to get your offer accepted. I also am in touch with many builders who are on a 1st come 1st serve basis, have no wait lists or quick move in homes available.
Despite Moratorium,
Foreclosures on Steep Incline
According to an article in Realtor magazine, foreclosures are on the rise in some states. The percentage of homeowners who are seriously behind on their mortgage payments or in foreclosure was 245% higher in February than a year earlier, according to data from Black Knight. Check out the full story here.
Does Light Rail Access Increase Property Values?
Recently living in Sunnyside, I had the opportunity to live near the G line which could take me directly to Union Station. It was just a few blocks away and quite convenient. The stop at 41st and Fox has a lot of planned development for both sides of the tracks. Check out this article to see what a recent study has shown regarding the property values near a light rail.
