Have You Considered a Post-Closing Occupancy Agreement?

Image
It’s a crazy market out there. Buyers are doing anything they can to secure a home, but inventory is low because potential sellers don’t want to be buyers in this market. And when a seller does list their home, their biggest fear is they won’t be able to find a new home in the time they must be out of their old one.

August 2018 Market Statistics Home Sales for Metro Denver

Image
Greater Denver Metro home sales continued to slow slightly, which is typical for this time of year, especially after a strong summer selling season. Year to date, homes sales are down just one percent as compared to last year. Most notably, sellers continued to add new listings of homes for sale to the market—4 percent more than last month. That, combined with homes staying on the market about four days longer than last month, could give your buyers more options and more time to browse.
