1409336445DENVER, CO – Home prices in Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village rose significantly year-to-date in July 2014 as buyers scrambled to secure a limited number of premier properties in two of metro Denver’s most desirable neighborhoods, according to statistics released by Kentwood Real Estate. The average sales price in July 2014 was $1,685,166 compared to $1,520,457 in July 2013, an increase of 10.8 percent.

The average number of days on the market for homes in Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village declined dramatically from last year, which also reflects the current shortage of homes compared to last year. Homes sold in July 2014 year-to-date were on the market an average of 101 days compared to 189 days for July 2013, a drop of 46.6 percent.

July statistics show that there are currently 107 residential listings in Cherry Hills Village and Greenwood Village. Kentwood Real Estate, Colorado’s Premier Real Estate Company, enjoyed a 33 percent market share with 49 active listings in the two communities in July.

“While the metrics (sales volume, transactions, inventory and days on the market) show signs of year over year improvement, we are cautiously optimistic for the real market to remain stable for the Villages for 2014 and 2015,” said Peter Niederman, Chief Executive Officer of Kentwood Real Estate.

Denver area real estate brokers enjoyed a small reprieve from the dearth of homes in July as the number of homes on the market in all of metro Denver increased 6.5 percent in August, according to data from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. The market still remains tight, however, due in part to first-time homebuyers coming to the market across the metro area.
