MARKET REPORT - DENVER REAL ESTATE - DENVER SOUTH EAST

For those of you that held tight & continued to keep your price right and your home in tip-top conditon at all times, it may bave paid off for you this month. Sales are up, homes Under Contract are up and these are all great signs of a market that could possbily be starting to make a turn.

May was a much better month in this part of the Denver real estate market. I will repeat what I said in April: Pricing the home right and creating offers is far more important than waiting at the wrong price to negotiate with someone. That may never happen! Keep analyzing your price and make sure you are where you should be. The buyers are out there and starting to take serious action.

April 2008 - Highlands Ranch Real Estate - Lone Tree Real Estate - Sales & Market Trends in Denver’s Suburbs

The Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree areas of Denver’s south metro real estate market are still seeing decent activity. This is the area that is found in theDenver MLS as DHL. I dislike repeating the same mantra - but price and condition are going to be key if you are a home seller right now. With that said, activity is up with an increase in closed sales and pendings in Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree, especially in regards to single family homes. Condos and Town Home sales in the area are a bit slower but there is still activity.

Real Estate Market Reports & Trends for April 2008 - PARKER, ELIZABETH, FRANKTOWN, KIOWA - Denver Suburbs

Activity is up all around in this area - inventory is up, sold homes are up and pending sales are up as well. All good signs but we still have a ways to go. Days on Market is up as well (107) and pricing your home is going to remain critical. This area is very attractive to home buyers - but they are smart and savvy and aware of market conditions. Sales in the area are going to be very strategic and not always emotionally driven. Is your Parker home for sale the nicest one in the area at the best price? If not, you need to make it that way for it to get serious consideration.

Here are the DCW Douglas County West - Homes in Castle Rock, Castle Pines and Sedalia - For Sale & Sold Home Numbers for April 2008.

Inventory in this area of the Denver real estate market is up a bit - and the level of homes sold and pending sales is actually down just a little - not exactly what we want to see. As always, this pocket of the market shows repeating trends that are consistent with the average price point (currently $755,710 for homes for sale) - luxury homes are going to take longer to sell. Price and condition remaining critical components of your marketing strategy. If you are not going to get real on your price, your home will stay for sale. One look at the average price of homes sold ($457,508) and that shows the higher priced homes bringing up that average just aren’t selling right now. Does this mean that if you have a higher end home it will not sell? No, but strategy is going to be crucial and the difference between sitting on the market and becoming part of the high days on market statistics or potentially being part of the sold statistics. Make sure that you are listening to your Denver REALTOR® and that they are giving you the cold hard facts, not just what you want to hear.
