Housing sales up, inventory levels down
in Metro Denver

The metro Denver housing market took another step toward recovery in February, with sales up and inventory levels down.

Unsold homes on the market dropped sharply, with the current inventory at 10,086, down 41.9 percent from February 2011.

Properties under contract for sale totaled 4,150 in February, an increase of 12.4 percent from the same month in 2011, according to data compiled by independent real estate consultant Gary Bauer.

"The momentum that started at the beginning of the year is continuing," he said. "We've got a market that's really moving."

Driving the market is a surge in the number of first-time buyers and move-up buyers targeting lower-priced homes, Bauer said.

 Home Prices Start to Rise, Sales Trend    Higher: Housing Recovery Underway

For the first time in 18 months, home prices in February rose higher. With a median price of $171,881, prices in the 53 cities surveyed by the RE/MAX National Housing Report rose by 1.1% over February 2011.

Home sales were even higher, up 8.7% from one year ago. With a positive sales trend of 8 straight months above the previous year, it's looking like 2012 will witness a very strong home-selling season, RE/MAX reports. As a result of reduced foreclosure activity, inventory continued a downward trend for the 20thstraight month, 22.4% lower than the housing inventory in February 2011.

Consumer sentiment appears to be rising, and record low mortgage rates coupled with favorable home prices are attracting homebuyers and investors who don't want to miss a historic opportunity.
