Denver’s average home sale price hits record $487,974 in April

Home sales in metro Denver took an unexpected dip in April, but that didn’t prevent home prices from reaching new highs or temper the frenzy for lower-price properties, according to a report this week from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

The average price of a single-family home sold in metro Denver reached a new high of $487,974, up 4.2 percent from March and 10.3 percent from a year ago.

Buyers closed on 4,389 residential properties last month, according to Wednesday’s report, down 7.4 percent from the number of homes sold in March and down 4 percent from the same month a year ago.
The number of homes and condos available for sale at the end of April rose 8.9 percent from the 5,361 on the market at the end of March, a much larger percentage increase than is usually seen between the two months.

Very expensive properties can skew the average home price. Another way to look at prices is the median, or the point where half the homes sold cost more and half cost less.

The median price of a single-family home sold rose to $420,000, up 4.2 percent from March’s median price of $406,500 and 9.1 percent higher than a year earlier.

Condos prices lost some steam in April, at least compared to single-family homes. The average price of a condo sold in metro Denver rose 0.94 percent to $318,478 from March, while the median price rose 3.85 percent to $270,000.

Over the past year, the average price of a condo sold is up 11.7 percent, while the median is up 12.5 percent.

Buying a House? Write offers that win friends and influences the seller

Image
One that's reasonable and well-written can make a big difference I recently saw two very good examples of how  not  to write and submit an offer for a buyer. I found agents who felt they were representing their buyers, yet failed them both in obtaining what they wanted — a contract on their first home. The first example was an offer I received that had in the special stipulations section a list of 10 items, specifying everything including resurfacing the driveway, replacing the gutters, adding new carpet in the color and choice of the buyer, repainting all interior rooms a color selection made by the buyer, fixing leaks in two specific ceilings and — the part I found most amusing — the HVAC was put on a personal property bill of sales as staying with the property at no cost to the buyer. Plus, in the personal property bill of sale, the agent added light fixtures and even the hot water heater. Well, I know I don’t have to say this, but lig...

14 Open House No No's

Open houses represent a large commitment of our times as Realtor, sellers. or FSBO . However, to most real estate agents and some For Sale By Owner sellers it's a casual afterthought consisting of putting an open house sign by the front door and praying for good weather and some of the neighbors to stop by. An Open house is intricate exercise of salesmanship and planning and if you are going to have an open house it will be wise to avoid these pitfalls: 1. Poor visibility . Have enough signs to help people find a tricky street and capture drive-by traffic from all major streets surrounding the home. 2. Insufficient directions. In your advertisements and flyers , give specific directions that take prospective buyers past the nearby golf course or other desirable neighborhood landmarks. 3. Competing events. Make sure the date and time of the open house don’t conflict with a major holiday or sporting event. 4. No giveaway. Provide an item of value, such as an article about a new co...
