This Week in Central Park Real Estate 11.13.20
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we have much of the same in our real estate update this week. Low inventory? Check. Great time to sell? Check. Buyers in bidding wars? Check. While inventory is very low, we saw a record number of new listings in the month of October (2022 listings). In fact, the Denver real estate market set 22 records in the month of October which, in any other year, would be a slower month. Here’s a quick summary:
- Lowest number of active residential listings in the month of October (previous record set in 2016)
- Highest median close price on record at $475,000
- Highest average close price on record at $561,999
- Lowest median days in MLS in October at 6 days (previous record set in 2015)
- Lowest average days in MLS in October at 24 days (previous record set in 2015)
- 5,984 residential properties closed last month; a new October record
- 6,141 residential properties pending last month; a new October record
- Highest October sales volume at $3,363,002,016 (4th highest month of all time)
You can see the rest of the records setting numbers in this brief summary from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

Disclaimer: Our Friday real estate updates are meant to be a “roundup” type post where we discuss all listings in Central Park, not just our own. It’s our way of making sure we follow the market closely and we share it with the Scoop readers because we know many of you like to track real estate in the area as well. Many of the listings in these posts are not our company’s listings and we wanted to mention that here to make sure it’s clear. Thanks for reading the Scoop!
