“Although inventory has been slowly increasing before the winter slowdown arises, quality properties priced right and ready to move into are still selling quickly and in many cases before hitting the open market,” said Bill Verdon, Broker Associate with Kentwood City Properties. “Those buyers with cash still rule the transactions, making deals ahead of buyers obtaining loans in all price ranges.
“We are beginning to see the market flatten out in terms of price appreciation, whereas sellers can no longer list the home and just throw any price on it,” Verdon continued. “Price reductions are showing up more often as some sellers are still testing the market, trying to obtain above market price for the homes. Downtown for-sale inventory is extremely low and condos and lofts in most areas of LoDo and surrounding locations are selling within days if priced correctly in all price ranges. Anywhere near Union Station, properties are selling for historic highs in terms of price per square foot.”
