Denver Homebuyers not slowed by the
Covid-19 pandemic as record number of pending sales converted to an
all-time high in the number of closings in any month + average
single-family home price catapulted over $600,000
Metro Denver real estate posted a
number of records in July even while the daily number of COVID-19 cases
reached record daily levels in the U.S. Homebuyers were not slowed by
the pandemic as June’s record number of pending sales converted to an
all-time high in the number of closings in any one month. Nearly seven
percent more properties closed in July than Denver area’s previous high
in June 2017.
Pent-up demand from the COVID-19 home-showing shutdown and the continued
lack of choices forced homebuyers to bid against each other. Many
sellers collected multiple offers at or above asking price. That
competition catapulted the single-family home price average up to a
record $601,863, which is 7.68 percent higher than June and 9.92 percent
higher than July 2019.
The number of pending home sales in the entire residential market in
July was down slightly from June’s record but still 27.07 percent higher
than July 2019. Denver wasn’t alone in this real estate mania.
Homeownership nationwide jumped to an almost 12-year high and refinance
activity exploded up 122 percent year over year in mid-July. This
happened despite the economy shrinking by 9.5 percent in the second
quarter of the year from the previous one, and a record 70-year drop in
the gross domestic product.
The DMAR report also includes statistics and analyses in its
supplemental “Luxury Market Report” (properties sold for $1 million or
greater), “Signature Market Report” (properties sold between $750,000
and $999,999), “Premier Market Report” (properties sold between $500,000
and $749,999), and “Classic Market Report” (properties sold between
$300,000 and $499,999). In July 2020, 388 homes sold and closed for $1
million or greater, up 46.97 percent month over month and 54.58 percent
year over year. The closed dollar volume in the luxury segment in July
was $610 million, up 57.64 percent month over month and 62.79 percent
year over year.

The highest-priced single-family
home that sold in July was $5,985,000, representing five bedrooms, nine
bathrooms and 9,720 above ground square feet in Cherry Hills Village.
The highest-priced condo sale was $2,650,000 representing four bedrooms,
seven bathrooms and 5,263 above ground square feet in Denver.
The single-family Luxury Market, homes priced $1 million or greater, had
one of its strongest months in almost every statistical category and
July 2020 was completely different from July 2019. There was a 53.45
percent increase in new listings compared to last year. The number of
pending transactions jumped 104.62 percent from 195 last year to 399
this year. The amount of closed deals in July increased 61.06 percent
and both the median and average days in MLS decreased from the previous
year.
While the luxury condo market had a
relatively strong month compared to that of the previous year, it is
clear that the demand for condos was not nearly as strong as the demand
for single-family homes. According to Abrams, people have spent more
time in their homes than they are accustomed to and there is a growing
trend of wanting more space, not just in terms of a house but a yard as
well. This is reflected in a few key categories. The number of new
listings for luxury condos more than doubled from the previous year,
jumping from 33 new listings last year to 68 in July. While pending
sales did increase 66.67 percent, that is not a higher number than the
number of new listings, indicating that supply is finally starting to
outpace demand in this price segment. Furthermore, the number of luxury
condo sales went down from the previous year.
