Apparently, spring has already arrived in Denver. Not only are we experiencing unusually warm weather, the Denver real estate market is heating up earlier than ever.February experienced a surge of new listings with a month-over-month increase of nearly 20 percent, and a year-over-year increase of 6.81 percent.
However, the healthy increase in new listings was squelched by an equally healthy increase of properties placed under contract. Homes under contract increased 17.82 percent from last month, and 4.79 percent from February of last year.
Lots of homes can on the market, and lots of homes quickly sold. Leaving the number of active listings in the residential market at 3,878 total units in February, representing an all-time low for any month on record. This is only the third time active listings have dropped below 4,000 units.
Live Urban agent Sara Wilhelmvisits Denver's Platt Parkneighborhood and summarizes this month's market stats.
