The housing market certainly had a joyous season. Home sales were up nearly 20% year-over-year in November, according to the latest RE/MAX National Housing Report. In addition to record sales in November, here are three things that you should know from the latest report.

The Median Sales Price was up 13.8% from November 2019. The number of days a home stays on the market is down to just 36. November was the fourth month in a row to set a new record for the fewest listings.

Overall the housing market continues to thrive! Interest rates will remain low, which will create a lot of opportunities for both buyers and sellers. If you're thinking about a move in 2021, it's important to start planning now.

Denver Real Estate Market Update December 2020

Michael Kozlowski ranked as high as the #1 Individual RE/MAX Agent in the State of Colorado!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holiday Season!

I thought you might like the latest market update to review, see attached Denver Real Estate Market Stats and update below.

This is a December to put in our history books, as the normal Hustle and Bustle of the Holiday Season has been tempered by the Pandemic and decreased our Holiday activities.  The Real Estate Market has picked up the slack of activity as Buyers are still very interested in buying as soon as possible with these low interest rates. 

Every Christmas has a Naughty List, and this year it is our Inventory of Active Listings!  We can’t remember a more difficult time for buyers to find the right home, as our Inventory has shrunk to ONLY 1,755 Single Family Homes, 1660 Townhomes and Condos for a total Inventory of 3,415

  • This is a 51% decrease from this time in 2019!  The average price increase of all Residential homes detached and attached is hovering in the 8+% range YTD.

There is no better time to list your home and take advantage of an unprecedented Seller’s Market!

  • Active Listings at month end were 3,415 which is 51% less than November 2019
  • New Listings were 3,689 up slightly from November 2019
  • Pending homes were at 4,796 which is ahead of November 2019!
  • Sold Homes were 4,820 and which is significantly more than November 2019

The biggest story is the Average Price that Closed on a Single Family Home in November was $615,766 significantly higher than November 2019! 

Year to Date our Single Family Average price stands at $549,756 which is an almost 8% increase for the year!  Wow!

The Market is moving differently in certain parts of town, but much of the Buyer demand has been moving in the suburbs, Douglas County, the Foothills and the Luxury Market!  Low Interest rates continue to help drive the demand! 

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like any more specific information, feel free to forward our market update to everyone you know and spread the word that real estate is open for business!

Happy Halloween!
As we move into November, the housing market continues to thrive. The summer season pushed into fall, causing September sales to surge, according to the latest RE/MAX National Housing Report. Here are three things you should know about the latest market numbers.
1. Closings rose 21.1% from a year ago.
2. Homes sold at an average of just 39 days – that's a full week faster than last year.
3. Inventory continues to struggle with buyer demand – plummeting a record 31.9% over last year.
The numbers prove the resilience and strength of the market. Buyers are jumping at the opportunity to make a purchase. Low-interest rates continue to attract buyers looking for a sense of community, more amenities, and the security of owning a home.

If you're thinking about buying or selling, you must be prepared. Navigating this competitive market takes an expert. I'd be happy to help you make your move this fall. Call, text, or reply to this email to set up a time to talk about your situation.

Denver Real Estate Market Update September 2020

Denver Real Estate Market Update September 2020

The year of the Pandemic Summer, and the Hot Temps for the month of August have translated into a Hot Real Estate Market! This has possibly been the most active and productive August in recent history in the Denver Market! 

By the numbers:

  • We saw 5,959 homes/townhomes and condos Closed, which is up 4.2% vs 2019!
  • Active Listings at month end were 5,496 which is 41% less than 2019
  • New Listings were at 6,786 which is about the same as 2019
  • Pending homes were at 7,323 which is 32% ahead of 2019!
  • Sold Homes were 5,959 which is 4.2% more than 2019

The big story again is the Average Price in August!  Single Family Homes Closed at an average price of $606,330 which is up 13.8% vs August 2019! 

  • Condos and Townhomes Closed at an average price of $377,664 which is up a more normal 1.65% vs August 2019! 
  • This confirms the general trend of Buyers flocking to Single Family Homes and out of multi-family units due to seeking distance from neighbors during COVID-19! 

To give a yearly update and some perspective, we have seen 39,078 Residential Closings YTD through August 2020.  We saw 39,836 Closings in the same time frame for 2019! 

The Bottom Line is the Market has almost caught up with last year for Total Activity, and will probably exceed 2019 by the end of September!  This is a very resilient Market during a Pandemic!  

The Market is moving differently in certain parts of town, but much of the Buyer demand has been moving in the suburbs, Douglas County, the Foothills and the Luxury Market!  Low Interest rates continue to help drive the demand!

RE/MAX National Housing Report August 2020!

Michael Kozlowski ranked as high as the #1 Individual RE/MAX Agent in the State of Colorado! Check us out: www.team-koz.com

The market heated up in July. It saw a record bounce back from the recent pandemic skid according to the latest RE/MAX National Housing Report.

Here are three things you need to know:
- July saw a historic amount of homes sold - home sales were up 8.7% over last year.
- The number of homes on the market remains low – with only 1.7 months supply.
- Home prices grew 8.6% over last year. The median home price is $285,000.

It appears that the fall will be a busy time. If you're thinking about selling your home, now's the time! Buyers are in the market, interest rates are still historically low, and you won't have a lot of competition.

If you're thinking about a move this fall, I'm here to help!

Denver Real Estate Market Update July 2020!

Michael Kozlowski ranked as high as the #1 Individual RE/MAX Agent in the State of Colorado! Check us out: www.team-koz.com

I thought you might like the latest market update to review, see attached Denver Real Estate Market Stats and update below.
The Denver Metro Real Estate Market has been on a solid V-Shaped Recovery since the beginning of May after the Quarantine Restrictions due to COVID-19!
  • Active Listing Inventory is down 33% compared to this time last year, and this lack of Inventory with historically low interest rates have created a Strong Buyer demand. 
  • Pending Sales are up 27% compared to last year, however Average Home Prices are only up 2% compared to last year at this time.
This is a wonderful time to take advantage of Historically Low Mortgage Interest Rates!
A 100 Degree day in July would normally cause a slowing market through the rest of the Summer, but Buyer Demand is continuing to look for good fresh Inventory. 
  • There were 6,383 active listings at the end of June, -10.98% less than May and -32.95%  less than the previous year when there were 9,520.
This very positive Market, and the continued strong demand for Buyers will continue throughout the rest of the Summer!

Denver Real Estate Market Update June 2020

Denver Real Estate Market Update June 2020

Hi

I thought you might like the latest market update to review, see attached Denver Real Estate Market Stats.

The economy is probably headed to a W-Shaped Recovery, but we are certainly seeing a V-Shaped Recovery in the Real Estate Market right now!

  • There were 7,170 active listings at the end of May, 4.6% more than April but 19.36%  less than the previous year when there were 8,891. 

Sellers had the upper hand with low inventory in all price ranges except for homes priced over $1 million, where there were 9.50 months of detached luxury home inventory and an abundance of attached luxury homes for sale, with more than 23 months of inventory.  Anything over six months is considered a buyer's market.

As expected, the number of closings was down in May following the weeks of strict showing restrictions, dropping 19.71% month over month and 48.86% year over year

The average closed price didn't slip much month over month but dropped back below $500,000 to $495,925.  That was a 1.24% lower than April but 2.43% higher year to date.

The Memorial Day weekend, and the beginning of Summer is usually a slower time for real estate sales but the boost in buyer activity kept agents busy this past holiday.  Does this mean our market has recovered from COVID-19?  Not quite yet, but it appears we are well on our way.  Low interest rates, renewed optimism and an increasing number of new choices are all positives. 

The Biggest Metric in May was over 6,800 homes Pending in the Denver Metro Area!  That is a Record! 

This very positive Market, and the continued strong demand for Buyers will help us get back on track as soon as we get a green light to show homes again!

Please let me know if you have any questions or would like any more specific information, feel free to forward our market update to everyone you know and spread the word that real estate will be open for business soon!
