“The Denver real estate market has been strongly influenced by inventory in 2017,” said Dee Chirafisi of Kentwood City Properties. “The number of detached homes that sold in 2017 was down due to lack of inventory. Resales of single-family home were down quite a bit. You will see that the average price has risen significantly, also due to lack of inventory. We did see a strong increase in the number of attached properties that sold in 2017. This is due to the increase in townhomes, condos, and duplexes that were built and delivered in 2017. The average price has also risen for detached homes. It is great to see new condo projects hitting the market after quite a few years of no new projects. Low inventory is really the most influential factor in Denver’s real estate market. There is quite a bit of pent up buyer demand. If a property owner is thinking of selling, this is a great time to do it.”
