As we ring in the new year, Denver’s real estate market is already making waves. According to Jenny Usaj, Managing Broker of Usaj Realty, there has been a surge in buyer activity due to low inventory, rising home prices, and historically low interest rates hovering around 6%. This combination has created a buzz in the market as buyers scramble to find their dream home in the mile-high city. While it may only be January, agents are already reporting multiple offers on homes in highly sought-after neighborhoods. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home in Denver this year, keep reading for some friendly and informative advice.
