“One of the big things with the recovery up there was trying to help people get into long-term housing,” Schliep said. “Down here, especially with the market the way it is and the limited inventory we have it’s going to be really, really tough for people to find more permanent housing.”
A week ago, on Dec. 27, there were just 1,950 single-family homes and 913 condos listed for sale in the entire Denver metro area, Parle said. That was everything available from Longmont in the north to Castle Rock in the south and Evergreen in the west to Parker in the east.
As of Monday, those numbers had dwindled to 1,576 homes and 571 condos available on the region’s multiple listing service. The rental and for-sale housing markets could get even more strained, Parle said.
