Summary
REcolorado’s real estate market update shows the coronavirus is continuing to impact the market but gradually less and less. The amount of closed listings is 13% lower than last year’s year-to-date figures and the average price of those listings is up 3% as demand continues to be strong while inventory is low. The amount of new listings that came on the market is down 11% year to date. On average, homes spent one day less on the market as they did at this point in 2019. High and growing demand with low supply makes for a healthy market that is already bouncing back.
