From October 9-15th, the Denver Metro Area's active inventory remained stable. With both closed units and median days on market rising slightly, a correlating decrease in showings and pending units signifies a decrease in buyer competition. Sellers are feeling the slower market and are becoming more willing to negotiate to get their properties sold. While mortgage rates have risen, this is still an excellent time for buyers to make a move. Let's work together to make the most of the market conditions for your goals!

@5280magazine 's annual ranking of the top 25 neighborhoods is out! According to the magazine, "Our ranking is based on four variables: home prices, crime data, school rankings, and an X factor score that accounts for things that can’t be as easily quantified, such as access to open space, public transportation, and restaurants and shops. Each category is weighted: 30 percent for year-over-year percentage change in home values; 25 percent for safety; 15 percent for neighborhood school ratings; and 30 percent for the X factor." Let me know how your neighborhood faired so we can chat about what impact this might have on the niche market for the neighborhood.

Mortgage interest rates have dropped to an average of 6.47% for a 30 year fixed rate mortgage, the lowest in 15 months. According to CBS news, "This decline in mortgage rates comes after weaker-than-expected employment data increased the possibility of the Fed cutting interest rates soon."

Over the month of July, the Denver Metro Market saw a rise in Active Inventory for both attached and detached homes over the previous month, along with a decline in pending transactions and an increase in homes closing for less than list price or with seller concessions. ⁠ ⁠ The first week of August continued the market cooling from the previous month. It is more crucial than ever to work with an experienced real estate agent to maximize the current state of the market, whether you're buying or selling.
