Market Updates

There were 7,011 homes for sale at the end of September.  This is the first time since October 2013 that home inventory exceeded 7,000 homes at the end of any one month.  Inventory has steadily climbed throughout 2024.  Based on the September sales pace of 2,244 closed home sales, there is 3.1 months of inventory available for sale.  This is the first time months in inventory has exceeded 3 months since February 2013.  A “balanced market” is typically considered to be 4 to 5 months of inventory. 
 
The average home price did fall 6.5% from August to September.  However, this drop in average prices was due to fewer large homes selling.  The average sales price per total square foot only fell 1.1%.  Overall, homes prices are holding steady to falling slightly.  This is a change in the trend from the last several months where home prices were holding steady.  The average price per total square feet of $261 is 4% below the 2024 high set in April at $272.  Typically prices fall 3% to 4% in a normal year from the market high to December.  Prices falling further into October/November/December could signal a slight downward trend in the market. 
 
Homes available for sale have fallen from September to October in 10 out of the last 10 years.  If inventory increases in October over September, this would signal a definite shift in the real estate market and inventory in spring 2025 would likely start at its highest level since 2013.  Higher inventory levels along with forecasted lower interest rates could bring a strong spring selling season to the metro Denver market.  Whether a strong spring selling season would be enough to bring down inventory levels and increase home prices will be the big question.
