Low Inventory and Continued High Demand [Weekend Reading]

I think that we are all relieved that it’s a new week. Start it off on a positive note and catch up on some real estate news.

Sound familiar, Colorado?

2. Homeowners and buyers are the real winners in this election

According to Realtor.com and the National Association of Realtors, homes sold faster in October than September and prices remained at their summer peak of $350,000 for the first time since 2011.

“New homes represent new supply. Increased supply – inventory – gives buyers more choices and helps hold down prices, not just for new construction but for existing homes as well. If fewer new homes are being built, real estate prices would likely be higher than they are today.”

“The median closing price on a single-family home was $519,900  in October, an increase of 1.9% from September and 14.3% from October. The average closing price was $625,100, a 4.5% gain from September and an 18% increase over the past year.”
More than 3.5% of all the rentable office space in the Denver-Boulder-Aurora metro area was available for sublease at the end of September.
