    #513: Why Denver's 75% Inventory Surge Is a Huge Opportunity

    #513: Why Denver's 75% Inventory Surge Is a Huge Opportunity

    Curious how the Colorado real estate market is suddenly favoring buyers? Denver has seen a staggering 75% increase in active listings year-over-year, shifting the balance significantly. Despite a modest 3.3% annual rise in home prices, a 0.75% month-over-month decline hints at potential price drops if interest rates stay high.







    Buyers now wield more negotiating power, with sellers offering concessions like interest rate buy-downs and closing cost coverage. Featuring house hacking expert Jeff White and investor-friendly lender Troy, Howell this episode provides game-changing insights and strategies to capitalize on these market shifts. Tune in for expert advice on leveraging increased inventory, navigating pricing trends, and maximizing negotiation tactics in this evolving market.
