Dropping Inventory

Breaking News – months of inventory has dropped significantly signifying an uptick in real estate activity along the Front Range.

‘Months of inventory’ is an important statistic and something we commonly talk about in this blog.

 It simply measures how long it would take to sell all of the homes currently for sale at the current pace of sales.

As a reminder, a market is ‘balanced’ when there is four to six months of inventory on the market.

During the fast-paced market of June 2020 to June 2022, this statistic dropped to less than one month.

During the market cooling of last Winter, it increased to over two months.

Now, it is back to nearly one month of supply signaling a clear seller’s market.

Of course, all markets are hyper-local and this number can vary based on specific price point and specific location.

However, looking at ‘months of inventory’ from a big picture view, offers a good understanding of overall market conditions.

Here is what months of inventory is for each Front Range market:

Larimer County = 1.3 Months

Weld County = 1.2 Months
 
Metro Denver = 1.1 Months
