Buyers are on the sidelines because of the lack of inventory.  Transferees moving from out of state would rather rent than compete in multiple offer shenanigans over the same listing.  Sellers are not placing their homes on the market because they are unsure if the property they will want will come on the market.  Seniors are aging in place because they can’t find a better solution.

The chart below confirms this ultra low inventory problem facing Denver buyers and sellers, but it only tells half the story.  Sure, inventory is low, and buyer activity in some areas is ravenous.  That doesn’t mean you have to sit out a great market.  It means you hae to prepare, be ready and be confident.
