Are home prices going up or down in Denver?

{ "answer": "Home prices in Denver are holding fairly steady right now. The median listing price is \"$589,000\", which is almost the same as last month, up a slight 0.3%. Over the past year, prices have dipped just a little. Looking back over the last year, the median listing price is down 1.8%. The average listing price also shows a similar small drop, down 2.3% to \"$781,414.\" This means homes are selling for slightly less than they were a year ago. It's taking a bit longer for homes to sell. The median time a home stays on the market is 43 days, which is a noticeable increase of 13.2% compared to last year. This suggests that buyers have a bit more time to make decisions. Fewer homes are available compared to last year, with active listings down 7.2% to 11,465. However, 25.5% of homes have had a price reduction, which is actually a smaller percentage than last year. This indicates that while there might be fewer homes, sellers are still adjusting their prices to attract buyers. If you're thinking of buying, you might find prices are a little more stable than they were a year ago, and you have a bit more breathing room as homes are staying on the market longer. If you're selling, be prepared for your home to take a little more time to find a buyer, and price it competitively from the start." }
