We are back with Justin Cooper and Joe Massey to chat Denver real estate. We covered everything from rising inventory levels to buying opportunities in the condo market. Here's a quick recap of our main takeaways: - Housing inventory is up 22% since March - it's a more balanced market, but sellers still have the edge. Your first offer will likely be your best, so price competitively. - 70% of recent sales had 2-3% seller concessions. Buyers should negotiate on price, concessions, and repairs. - Attached housing inventory is high at 5.4 months. This presents opportunities, especially for investors willing to take on some work. - Challenges with condo insurance deductibles have limited financing options. This has depressed prices, but values should recover in the long run. - It's always a good time to buy if you plan to hold long term. Short term, it's hard to predict where the market heads next.
