Greater Denver Metro real estate market
depicts an ongoing inventory crisis due to hyper-demand in the region…
but there is hope.
April 2021 in the Greater Denver
Metro housing market showed that the blatant hyper-demand in the
residential housing industry continues to result in historic low months
end inventory, even with months-end active inventory increasing by 35.03
percent. Altogether, there were still only 2,594 active properties at
the end of the month, representing the lowest April on record and 48.38
percent less inventory than the previous April low in 2015.
As one reflects on this month's market trends report, it is important to
remember where the market was this time last year. April 2020 was a
month of confusion, fear and uncertainty for the world. The ebbs and
flow of being an “essential” worker were reflected in new listings last
year, which were down 43.02 percent compared to April of this year.
Since last year, the market has seen a steady rise in competition and
therefore prices have as well. With only two weeks of inventory,
year-over-year appreciation continues to be both staggering for the
market while also bringing home sellers inevitably great returns,
increasing 24.20 percent in April.
The DMA monthly 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” (properties sold between $300,000
and $499,999).
April showed no signs of slowing down in the Luxury Market with some
interesting trends at hand. Overall, the Luxury Market has experienced
more growth than any other segment. In 2018, 2019 and 2020, year-to-date
closed sales of properties over $1 million were 649, 654 and 661,
respectively. So far, in 2021, there have been 1,353 closed sales, more
than double the number of the past three years. The median days in MLS
for the Luxury Market was seven, down from 23 in 2020, 22 in 2019, 32 in
2018 and 48 in 2017.
Luxury Market closed sales in April 2020 were contracted before the
shutdown, and on average, sold for 97.61 percent of list price. This
April, buyer demand has pushed that number to 102.43 percent of list
price, nearly five percent more than last year showing not an inventory
crisis but a hyper-demand that has increased the speed at which the
market operates and the prices that homes transact.
Historically, the market has seen annual inventory reach its low point
in February and March, followed by increased listing activity until we
hit our inventory peak in August and September. The Luxury Market
appears to follow the trend with 28.82 percent more new listings in
April than March, showing that it may be possible for buyers who outlast
the fatigue of competition to find themselves with more options than
they have seen in the past few months. If so, with only one month of
inventory for attached homes and 1.97 months for attached homes, buyers
will need to keep their feet on the gas to win.
