Thanks to Kristal, Peter Niederman – COO of my company, John Rebchook, Mayor Hickenlooper and Patty Silverstein for grabbing hold of this issue and not letting go. The most valuable statistical comparisons use a composite or index data or they analyze the same data sets month-over-month or year-over-year.

Forbes published an article several months ago citing the Case Schiller report as evidence that Denver was a quickly recovering market. Now this article cites Denver as the second worst using Zillow? It should have been obvious to the author that she needed to dig deeper.

While the local MLS (Metrolist) data does not include some bank-owned properties and also omits FSBO’s, it’s consistent in how it counts available, under contract and sold properties. As of the end of April, there were 20,030 available properties in Metro Denver, down nearly 3% from last year. There is so much pent-up demand that properties are bidding up over asking with multiple offers in some cases. Average days on market is down by over 18 days since last April and average price is up 7%.

If Denver is the second worst market, looking at those numbers, then the rest of the country must be on fire!
