Boulder County Real Estate Statistics
December 13, 2020 to December 20, 2020
IN AGGREGATE:
Last week’s new listings and under-contracts looked almost exactly as they did in 2019.
At this time of year, inventory typically gets very low. Last week had .39 months of inventory – super low!! That said, the same week in 2019 had .38 months inventory, and 2018 had .3 months inventory. As we’ve seen every year in the early winter months, inventory will increase with time.
Last week we hit 401 more closed transactions than in 2019 and 570 more than in 2018. Wow!
(Click the chart below to see stats for all of 2020.)
THE MARKET BY PRICE BAND
Holy crow. Buyers were fully engaged in all market segments last week, with luxury buyers creating a sell-through rate of 300% and entry-level buyers creating a sell-through rate of 200%. Robust buyer demand continues.
Local Real Estate in a Nutshell
Buyers, if you’ve had your eye on a property, the quiet end of December can be a good time to go under contract without much competition.
Sellers, as seen above, buyer demand is enormously outpacing inventory. If you’re planning to sell, get your house ready now and come to market. The early January market will likely be robust.
National Real Estate Data
Luxury Home Sales Surge
U.S. luxury home sales increased 60.7% year over year from September through November, an enormous jump. Reflecting a ‘k-shaped recovery’, this growth outpaced the 14.8% increase in sales of mid-priced homes and the 6.8% uptick in sales of affordable homes.
Luxury sales are occurring in every location. The vacation home market is especially on fire, as buyers purchase get-away spaces during this time of difficult travel.
Luxury inventory is up 31.5% nationally YoY, as many luxury property owners have the ability to move elsewhere during this pandemic. This increase in inventory is more than double that of any other tier.
It is anticipated that builders are focusing on luxury new builds nationally, so supply will likely continue to increase.
Nationally, the average time to sell for luxury properties has decreased by 27 days. Additionally, 2020 price growth evened out between the various price bands, with only a .5% split between the low and high ends at the end of November.
