The average price of a single-family home in metro Denver passed $600,000 for the first time ever in August, the most recent month with available data, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Judging from a deeper look at the numbers for the six largest markets in the area — Denver, Aurora, Adams County, Arapahoe County, Douglas County and Jefferson County — compiled by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, house hunters are lucky the costs haven't risen even higher than the current hikes, which range from 6 percent to 17 percent year over year.

In Denver proper, the average home price rose to over $650,000 last month, a hike of more than 10 percent from August 2019 — but inventory fell over 50 percent.

The scenario was even more extreme elsewhere. In Adams, Douglas and Jefferson counties, active listings in August were off more than 60 percent. Yet metro Denver saw more homes under contract in August 2020 than a year earlier, by between 27.9 percent and 57.9 percent. That means a greater number of homes were purchased from a shrinking stockpile.

The eagerness of buyers was also reflected in the reduced time that listings were available. Adams County, for instance, saw this metric tumble from an average of 29 days to just seventeen. Moreover, house shoppers were generally paying above list price — a natural consequence of the bidding wars commonplace along the urban corridor. Only Douglas County homes are selling below their asking price, but not by much; the percentage of full list there is estimated at 99.8 percent, compared to over 100 percent everywhere else.
