Open Season in Denver Real Estate

The Denver real estate market is officially open for the season!  While the Denver real estate market is strong throughout the year, the spring and summer months often prove to be the most advantageous time, for both buyer and seller, to get in the game.

There are several reasons why so many Denver homes change ownership this time of year.  Perhaps the quaint Craftsman bungalow felt too cramped through the long winter months, or the massive Denver Square was too large for globe-trotting empty nesters.  Sometimes the employer has relocated to another section of the city, or the announcement of twins has spurred a young couple out of their condominium.  Whatever the reason, these months are the most active in the Denver real estate market.

Beyond the normal reasons for folks to relocate, spring and summer present their own unique benefits.  Tax refunds aid with down payments and mild weather makes for easy home shopping.  For families, a move in the summer is the most logical.  Their children will be settled in the new neighborhood before the school year starts, easing the transition for all.  For those choosing to sell their home, the foliage and sunlight of the spring and summer months can make their home more desirable than the bleak December skies.

With everyone hoping to buy or sell their next Denver home before the leaves change, the summer months can also provide a buyer with a veritable buffet of options, and sellers with a strong platform for negotiation.

Therefore, if you have been on the fence concerning when to list your property, purchase your next, or take advantage of investment opportunities, consider the benefits of starting this spring.
