Quarterly Market Snap Shot W. Highland, Berkeley and Sunnyside January - March 2012

"Seller's Market" is the term to define all three of these Northwest Denver neighborhoods.  Low inventory throughout the Denver Metro area, including the Highlands and its neighboring areas, has buyers and agents frustrated in finding properties that meet client's price range and needs.  Properties priced well and in good condition are receiving offers within 24-48 hours of going on the market. Many properties are receiving mulitple offers and offers that are close to, or above, asking price.  Real estate agents are having to craft strategies to get offers accepted and buyers are having to forego consessions or contingencies to make their offers more attractive.  As we approach the high point of the spring and summer selling season it is hoped that sellers currently on the fence recognize this great opportunity and take the plunge to sell.  The low vacancy rates in the rental market and rent prices on the rise, combined with historically low interest rates, have many buyers deciding that now is the time to pursue home ownership.  They see that in many cases, owning a home is more affordable than renting.

If you have considered, or are considered selling your home.....now is the time!
