With this comparison made, in my opinion, most of this is seasonal as opposed to a new direction for Denver’s market.  We often see things drop off around this seasonal time of year.  If I was a betting man, I would bet 2019 would be different, maybe weaker, than 2018, but not significantly.  

I will circle back to this post in a few months, we will revisit this data and make some predictions moving forward in 2019.  Typically, residential markets move at glacial speed, I would suspect, this will be no different.  Change takes time.

In the meantime, if you have some plans to buy or sell in 2019, let’s discuss a plan to maximize your sales price or strategically place you in the market as a well informed buyer.  One always wants to negotiate from a place of strength.  All it takes is one call…tc
