Key Takeaways from June 2021 vs. June 2020

Here are some high level comments for the June market. 

  • The number of new listings, 2080, was up +3% from last year.
    • This is consistent with national trends and what we’d historically expect
    • Also consistent with Denver
  • Sales count +8% from last year
    • Impressive performance!
  • Average price
    • Up 25%, about the same as Denver
    • Similar to other west coast cities
    • Median sales price also up about the same amount
  • Active inventory
    • 777 units, down from 1,450.
    • In Denver the inventory went up a bit, so Colorado Springs didn’t follow this trend (unfortunately)
  • Showings
    • Down a bit from the last few months
    • But still above the historical average for this time of year

Evidence Denver Market is Slowing

Mortgage applications remain soft relative to last year’s levels.

You can see that the new applications by buyers to get a mortgage continues to decline.  That would be a normal seasonality trend, but there is more decline even than that.  We can expect the buyer queue in later 3Q and earlier 4Q will definitely be less than 2020 and likely less than 2019 levels.  Traffic is flirting with levels slightly lower than that.

We’re seeing further evidence of slow down in that the showings / active listings (which were very high in 1Q 2021 and first part of 2Q 2021) have come down a lot.

I’m hearing antidotally that listing agents are still getting multiple offers, but not as many, and the probability of selling above ask is also declining.  “The market is slower” is a common (not universal) comment.  The increase of inventory from May to June sure helped a lot.
