With the end of the prime home selling and home buying market for the Greater Metropolitan Denver area, what can one expect for the remaining months of 2011?
The Active Inventory count in units will continue to decrease as well as the monthly number of both under contract and closed transactions. This does not mean that the market has gone away or will go away; but, rather that the market continues in a seasonally adjusted basis.
With the extremely low inventory that we have not seen in years, homes that are on the market through Fall and Winter will have a greatly increased chance to sell!
