Real Estate News
Happy New Year! Now that the holidays
are over it’s the perfect time to talk about what I think the real estate
market will look like in 2013. So let’s jump right in.
According to Fannie Mae’s Dec. National
Housing survey, Americans believe that home prices will rise 2.6% in 2013. This number is TOO LOW for what has
been happening and what will continue to happen in the Metro Denver Market. I
decided to give you some concrete facts because I have found that many people
have no idea how HOT the Metro Denver Real Estate Market has become.
Average
Home Price: The
average price of a home in Denver leapt
14% in 2012, surpassing even the most optimistic forecasts (including
my own!). I believe this year will be almost as strong with an average price
increase of 8-10% and here’s why: The number one driver of home price change is
the amount of inventory on the market. In 2007 we had a peak of 27,500
properties on the market and prices dropped 14%, while in 2012 we averaged
10,000 properties on the market and prices went up 14%.
I will be posting several times in the next few days with more info on 2012 stats.
