Chapters

Welcome to your April real estate market update. We have a lot of fascinating data to cover today across the Front Range, so let's dive right in. First up, the greater Metro Denver market. We experienced a major seasonal lift. This was highlighted by a massive 31% month-over-month jump in pending sales, bringing us to 4,600 units. This spike in demand pushed average close prices for single-family homes to $778,000. That's a 4% increase compared to last month. Condos and townhomes also saw impressive gains. Their average prices increased both month over month and year over year, hitting $451,000. That's a 9% monthly increase and a 5% increase from last year. New listings grew 19% from the previous month to over 5,700. Properties are also moving notably faster than last month, with the average days on market dropping 17% to about 48 days. Showings per listing were up 8% month over month and 3% year over year, averaging about 15.2 showings until a home goes pending. Now let's look at Boulder County, which was really a tale of two markets. While active and new listings saw a similar year-over-year decrease, Prices for single-family homes versus condos told drastically different stories. The average close price for attached homes was actually down 13.3% year over year. Meanwhile, single-family average and median close prices increased both month over month and year over year. Clearly, buyers in Boulder heavily favored the detached home market. Let's head south to Colorado Springs and El Paso County. New listings surged, up 24% from the previous month and 5% from last year. Demand also saw a much-needed spike, jumping 34% from the previous month. However, despite this surge in demand, average and median prices actually fell for both detached single-family homes and attached condos and townhomes. And that wraps up our market update.
