Navigating Turbulent Mortgage Rates in Denver

Denver’s real estate landscape is witnessing significant shifts amidst a challenging interest rate environment. A 20% decrease in sales in September from the month prior, coupled with a substantial rise in mortgage rates to an average of 8.04% as of 10/25, has marked a period of slowdown and uncertainty.

Despite these hurdles, September showed surprising resilience with an 11.2% increase in Active Listings from August, though housing inventory levels remain well below the 50-year average. Home prices continue to showcase their strength, with single-family homes holding a median price of $640,000 and condos & townhomes at $420,000. However, sellers are experiencing a longer time on the market – now averaging 30 days.

This dynamic is creating a nuanced market with sellers still in a favorable position. Despite this, the rising mortgage rates are having a noticeable impact, with new mortgage application activity plunging to a 28-year low, as reported by the Mortgage Bankers Association. Homebuying affordability is being significantly challenged, with 30-year-fixed-rate mortgages passing the 8% mark, making borrowing increasingly difficult for potential buyers.
