The sales in December showed an unexpected 12% increase. There were 330 sales (residential, Boulder County) in December 2013 and there were 295 sales in December of 2012.
The most notable statistic for the month is the total inventory. The number of available homes for sale has fallen from 1,507 at the end of 2011 to 946 at the end of 2013. One would expect that we would start seeing more new listings this time of year but we have much ground to make up in order to meet the buyer demand. The market keeps turning.
The slideshow below presents total sales, under contract percentage, inventory, sales by week, new listings and under contract by week.
