Statewide, single-family listings increased 75% in January, while new townhome/condo listings jumped 73.2%.
“The combination of lower interest rates and general optimism of a new year brought buyers out to look and sellers ready to list.”With interest rates stabilizing, more buyers are ready to enter the market, said Fort Collins-area realtor Chris Hardy. Buyers who waited during the fall and holiday season took advantage of the new options, with the number of pending or under-contract homes up 8% for the month over January 2023. The number of pending or under-contract homes in the Denver metro increased 10% over last January.The median single-family home price increased to just under $600,000, up 1.7% from December and 5.3% from a year earlier.
