A Realtor.com forecast recently predicted that the combined Denver metro area would be the 48th hottest housing market in the U.S. this year — with high home price appreciation and sales growth.
Zoom in: Aurora — Colorado's third-biggest city — is so scorching, it had just 187 active listings — and 27 single-family homes — as of March 8.
Historically low inventory leaves slim pickings, so here are just a few active Aurora listings:
