The Denver real estate market has consistently boomed in favor of sellers in recent years, with 2022 reaching extraordinary, record-breaking numbers. The amount of competition has been escalating considerably, illustrating the need for skilled and agile, quick-thinking professionals to expedite and ensure the process.
According to an April 28, 2022 report by The Denver Post (Megan Ulu-Lani Boyanton), Andrew Abrams, chair of the DMAR Market Trends Committee, commented, “Earlier in the year, buyers offered six figures above the asking price while competing with dozens of offers.” Bank of America stated in its 2022 Homebuyer Insights Report that more than 70% of prospective homebuyers in Denver stated they would make an offer on a home within three days of viewing it, versus 65% nationally.
Creative methods are being used to quickly seal deals and of these, the potential buyers of the millennial generation represented in Denver are 44% more likely to utilize public or private grants for closing costs in comparison to their generational peers outside of Denver. Rising interest rates, a median closing price for a single-family home at $660,000 and the average closing price reaching $797,900 have contributed to the pressure of homebuyers locating and securing homes that fit their needs and budgets.
