Denver's housing market is heating back up in 2024

By the numbers: The median closing price of single-family homes in the Denver metro area last month was $595,000, up 5% from $565,000 in March 2023, according to the latest data from REcolorado.

• Buyers are snapping up homes faster as inventory increases after years of tight supply. The number of new listings jumped 21% from February 2023 to February 2024.
• There were 4,258 metro-area homes for sale in February compared to 5,020 last month, per REColorado's report.
