September 2022 Denver Market Update
Greater Metro Denver saw more of a balanced market in August as buyers had more options compared to last year and increased time to ponder their home buying choices. Other indicators of a return to more "normal" levels include that the closed-price-to-list-price is down, prices dropped slightly, and days on the market increased. The month's supply of listings for August was at 2020 levels.
Prices remained high at $739,089 on average for a single-family home but came down 4.7% when compared to last month. For reference, the all-time high was set in April of 2022 at $819,253.
