Throughout the ebbs and flows of
2021, interest rates remained low and buyer demand stayed consistently
high. DMAR found there were more homes purchased in 2021, 63,684 than
any previous year. While demand was at an all-time high, the number of
new listings that hit the market throughout the year was down 5.26
percent, which is one of the reasons why the market ended the year with
another historic indicator, month-end active listings.
At the beginning of January, there were only 1,477 active properties on
the market in the entire Denver Metro area, which is 11,175 fewer houses
on the market than normal. Based on the sustained demand for housing and
lack of inventory, the market is projected to see double-digit
appreciation this year, which it has not seen in back-to-back years of
double-digit appreciation since 2015-2016 and 1998-2000.
There are a few factors that will dictate this continued acceleration in
house prices. The first is supply and demand. There are currently 41.87
percent less houses on the market at the beginning of January 2022 than
there were at the beginning of January 2021. The second factor is that
conforming loan limits increased to $684,250 in the Denver Metro area.
That is $37,050 higher than the nationwide conforming limits. This means
that the majority of buyers can purchase a home for $750,000, putting
down 10 percent without it turning into a massive loan.
Through hardship and perseverance, the Denver Metro real estate market
has been the backbone of Colorado’s economy. The question remains
whether the market will see significant changes in the real estate
market from last year. In this market, time is money and it’s likely not
to change soon.
The DMAR 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).
In the Luxury Market, Denver Metro prices continue to climb with more
homes entering the ranks of the Luxury Market every month as demand
continues at a rapid pace. Within the past two years, the number of
homes that sold within the Luxury Market more than doubled. The
single-family segment of the market closed 4,672 single-family homes, a
53.99 percent gain year-over-year, while the attached segment
experienced a 140.46 percent gain with 630 homes sold.
During the holidays, seasonal slowdown was palpable, and as a result the
number of new listings and pending and closed properties traditionally
shows a sharp drop off with the focus off real estate. While active
homes on the market dropped 41.87 percent market-wide, the Luxury Market
continued to outperform with a five percent increase in December for new
listings.
New listings for detached homes climbed slightly by 1.40 percent from
last December, while closed listings increased 9.06 percent. Even with a
seasonal shift, the average days in MLS fell 30.19 percent to 37 days
and median days in MLS dropped 59.09 percent from 22 days to nine
compared to last December. Meanwhile, the attached market continued to
shine as new listings climbed 35.29 percent year-over-year with 23 new
listings. Closed sales came in at a staggering 89.66 percent gain with
sales volume following closely with a 75.36 rise with $75,932,105 closed
volume.
