Metro Denver ended the year with a lot more homes and condos listed for sale than in 2023, and those listings took a lot longer to sell, despite a similar number of closings each year, according to a monthly update from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. “The housing market in 2024 mirrored many of the challenges seen in 2023, with elevated mortgage rates continuing to shape buyer and seller behavior,” said Steve Danyliw, a member of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and local Realtor, in an annual recap included with the report. One of the most noticeable trends last year was a widening gap between condos and townhomes or attached homes, which saw sales drop 15.5% last year, and stand-alone or detached homes, which saw sales rise 7.84% and snap a three-year stretch of declines.
