“The Cherry Creek market continues to see properties selling faster than a year ago and spending fewer days on the market with inventory levels being very similar to what they were in February,” said Soley Maria, a leading Broker Associate with Kentwood Real Estate Cherry Creek. “Looking at residential homes, the number of sales and sales volume are down significantly, both comparing year over year and year to date compared to 2017. Both average price and highest price sold for this category have a strong upward trend, with the exception of highest price for March, which is almost flat.
“The condo market in Cherry Creek shows a downward trend pretty much across the board for number of sales, volume, and prices,” Maria continued. “This can partially be explained by the fact that some of the condos representing the active inventory are still under construction and thus cannot close yet. I believe that the combination of the spring market and many of the construction projects getting closer to completion will see the Cherry Creek market appreciate across the board. Cherry Creek has been one of Denver’s most sought after neighborhoods for quality living, dining, and retail, and the renewed Cherry Creek will only enhance that, making now a great time to buy here before prices rise again.”
There is currently a total of 504 detached listings and 641 attached listings in the City of Denver, with Kentwood Real Estate holding 78 active listings. Closed sales for detached residences totaled 524 in March, a 1.2 percent increase over the same period last year. Closed sales volume was $216,183,111, a 6.29 percent increase over last March.

Average days on the market for detached residences was 153, an increase of 200 percent.
Closed sales for attached homes totaled 622, which was a decrease of 9.3 percent from last March. Closed sales volume was $351,871,249, an increase of 5.3 percent. The average sales price for attached residences was $565,709, and the highest sold price was $4,975,000, an increase of 80.9 percent over March 2017. Average days on the market for attached homes in March was 21, which was a 22.2 percent decrease from the same period last year.
“The average sales price in Denver continues to reach record highs while average days on the market are at record lows,” said Stacy Neir, an accomplished real estate professional with Kentwood City Properties. “We see inventory increasing, but only slightly, and will hopefully continue to increase as the spring selling season approaches. The Denver market is still one of the hottest in the nation and I do not see any signs of cooling at this point.”
