Inventory Remains a Key Issue for Home Buyers
It appears homebuyers are getting used to higher rates as demand has picked back up.
According to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors’ latest report, 4,516 attached and detached homes are currently available for the entire Denver Metro area. This area is home to 3.3 million people and covers 11 counties. New listings are down significantly year-over-year with 5,093 new homes hitting the market (down from 6,035 last year).
Fewer homes on the market mean buyers are continuing to compete with each other.
4,274 homes found a buyer in March in the Denver Metro area, according to the Denver Association of Realtors’ latest report, up from 3,740 the month prior.

- The average home sold for $665,390 in March 2023
