Lot’s Of New Data Released
US News used data from the U.S. News Housing Market Index to compile a comprehensive look at the Denver housing market. Want to know where it is headed according to this report?
“With low unemployment, low supply and improving customer sentiment, Denver’s housing market is poised to carry on strong. While increased builder confidence could lead to more supply, our forecasts predict building permits will fall – at least for the next few months. This should keep supply low and demand strong for the area’s very limited housing.”
The Denverite, after in depth reviews from the past month, reports that Denver has shifted back to a seller’s market, and says, “The spring market is here and is outperforming expectations,” noted Libby Levinson-Katz, the chair of the Denver Metro Association of Realtors Market Trends Committee. “Interest rates began their steep upward climb last May, with the real estate market feeling the slowdown acutely by fall. Heading into the New Year, expectations were conservative with the prediction that the spring selling season would be calmer than in years past with slower appreciation and longer days on the market. However, low inventory coupled with continued buyer demand resulted in a stronger start than predicted for the Mile High City.”
