œDecember typically brings a month-over-month increase in residential real estate sales, but this December surprised us with a much higher increase than we've seen in previous years, said Kirby Slunaker, president and CEO of REcolorado. œHome prices have moderated since the second quarter, allowing buyers to jump into a market that is less competitive during the holiday season.
