“We expect we will see Denver builders experience a significant uptick in traffic that shows up at their sales office. So few options are available on the resale side,” John Covert, senior regional director for Colorado and New Mexico with Metrostudy, said in a market update Wednesday.

 

Metro Denver, with a population of 2.8 million, had fewer than 4,000 homes listed for sale at the end of December or January. The average price of a home sold in January topped $490,932, while the median price was $416,000, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

 

The average price of a new home sold last year in metro Denver was $560,000. New homes are priced mostly in the $450,000 to $700,000 range, with the under $300,000 pretty much extinct and the under $350,000 getting there, Covert said.
