DMAR Real Estate Market Trends Report | OCT. '22

Traditionally, a market with less than three months of inventory is considered a seller’s market. In direct relation to that, a market with more than six months of inventory is considered a buyer’s market, which means that three to six months of inventory is defined as a balanced market. These benchmarks help define the Denver Metro current market, which is notably changing. Read More
