Well we’re into the second half of the year already so let’s look at July’s figures.  I see a lot of RED!  Understandably, the inventory levels are less than in previous years but let’s not get caught up in all of that.  Let’s look at what we have right now.  To me it looks pretty good.

Sellers in most South Denver real estate zip codes are looking at fairly low months of inventory.  Sellers in areas such as Parker, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree and Englewood all enjoy a seller’s real estate market.  Like I always say however, an overpriced home in less than good condition will struggle to sell in any market.  So sellers need to stay focused on price and condition.

Buyers never fear!  There is still enough inventory out there for you to find the perfect home.  Take advantage now of these all time low rates which improve your buying power tremendously based on mortgage qualification and monthly payments.  If you find the home you like, act on it.  It is a great time to buy, really.

We are a bit more than halfway through the year already so let’s take a look at June’s statistics for the midyear.  Most zip codes for the south metro Denver area remain  pretty steady as far as sales and inventory levels.  In fact, most are pretty good  for the market with most zip codes staying “red”, which indicates a fairly hot market for sellers.

Parker and Castle Rock both have large numbers of active inventory and Parker continues to show great activity in it’s 80134 zip code!  Highlands Ranch reflects a seller’s market as well as many of the zip codes just north, including Englewood, Centennial and Greenwood Village along with others.

If you are a seller in one of these South Metro Denver zip codes, remain competitive on price, condition and depending on your price range, you may need to remain patient.  Even though it is a stable market according to statistics, the hottest prices remain between $200-$500k.

Buyers, stay active and engaged in the market. If you are ready to buy, then don’t believe the inventory will remain on the market forever and there is an overabundance of choices.  As you can see, in most areas inventory is to the seller’s advantage and the best homes continue to sell quick.

The Denver Real Estate market is pretty good. If you would like a more detailed look at your own home’s value or if you are looking to buy, please contact me I would love to help.

Denver Homes Sales & Real Estate Statistics

May continued the trend of a fairly strong homes seller’s market this year, at least as far as inventory levels go. Looking at the chart, there is still a lot of red!  Seller’s need to take advantage of the season, keep the curb appeal spruced up grass green and cut, fresh mulch and blooming flowers.

Buyers have fewer choices so don’t hesitate when you find the home you love. Especially anything priced under $200k, these homes are HOT! Take advantage of still great interest rates and start living your dream.

I have written before about how wonderful it is to have the High Line Canal so close by to my home in Highlands Ranch.

I often ride my bike on the canal trail and we take family trips on the trail as well. And from time to time I visit the trail from starting points other than my norm.    Last Sunday, Father’s Day, was one of those times and we took the camera along as well.

We rode from the trail entry at The Highlands Ranch Golf Club to Writer’s Vista Park - not an extraordinary long trip by any means, but this was a bit of a leisurely ride on a hot afternoon.  We stopped to enjoy the view, look at flowers, rabbits, and even bugs (hey – that’s kids for you.) and there was even some tree climbing involved.  And of course there was plenty of water breaks as well.

The High Line Canal runs from Waterton Canyon through areas of Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and into Denver, Aurora and up north into Commerce City.

There are many neighborhoods and homes along the canal trail throughout the Denver area – and many other trails as well.

If you would like to live along the High Line Canal, you can start searching right now.

What the heck is that you may ask?

Snow?

No, its June.  (Which doesn't mean it can't snow in Colorado in June.  But it is not snow).

Dust from your camera? 

No, although it may look like it.

It is a photo of me pointing my camera to the sky in my own back yard. 

I live in Highlands Ranch near the High Line Canal.

The High Line Canal runs through the area with a wonderful bike trail along it.  It is lined with Cottonwood Trees.  Every year, in early June for about 10 – 14 days the seedlings from the Cottonwood trees blow throughout the area. 

It almost looks like its snowing in June at times if the wind is strong enough.

Summer is here.

Homes along the High Line Canal are available in Littleton, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village and into Denver, Aurora and up north into Commerce City.
