Housing Market Trends for 2024
"High inflation and the Federal Reserve’s action to tame it slammed the brakes on one of the hottest housing markets in history, and 2023 will go down as a year where too many buyers had too few houses to choose from. Cautious owners are unwilling to sell, expensive mortgages are pricing out overleveraged buyers, builders haven’t produced enough new construction and everyone involved is playing the waiting game. But what will await them when 2024 finally closes the door on this strange and stressful year?"

Denver housing market: Strategic pricing drives success in August
"Active listings in Denver increased 9% in August from July and 19% over August 2022.

The number of new listings increased about 2%. At the same time, pending sales dropped nearly 1%, and closed sales declined 2%. The median closed price dropped to $582,000 while the median days on the market increased to 11 days.

'Buyers feel the shift and think that we are no longer in a full-price market.'"

What's the latest on the local market?

Active inventory is slowly increasing, but not fast enough. Buyers are more in control, however, as lower competition due to rate hikes gives Buyers the possible opportunity to negotiate on price. These Buyers are likely taking advantage of rate buy downs where the Seller “buys down” your rate and makes purchasing much more palatable. Ask me about Rate buy Downs and how you can purchase with a much more favorable interest rate!

Additionally, the Denver and mountain areas are still holding firm with slight price increases in most areas, but some areas allow for active negotiation on price. Ask me about your current home too, as some neighborhoods are increasing in value where some are staying flat or slightly declining. I can accurately advise you as to where to price your home for the most return. Some homes are still getting multiple offers and I can show you how!

Do You Sell or Rent Your Old Home? It’s the Mover’s Dilemma in the U.S.’s Roaring Rental Markets.
"Some homeowners, especially if they’re wealthier, don’t need to sell their current place in order to move—and an especially strong rental market is one reason why they probably shouldn’t. “Deciding what to do with your home is more than a math decision,” said T.J. Williams, a financial adviser and regional vice president with Wealth Enhancement Group in New York. “There’s an emotional conversation to have about whether you want to be a landlord and about the risks and rewards of either choice.”
