Real estate statistics for the month of May 2020 for the market including Boulder Colorado. Presented by Neil Kearney of Kearney Realty Co. Sales are down significantly compared to past years, but this is due to the forced showing moratorium. It is a lagging indicator. Looking forward, we have seen a nice rebound in the market in the last few weeks. Showings have increased and the number of contracts written are quite strong. I’m still seeing more activity in the lower price ranges and not as much in the luxury range, but overall I’m encouraged with the strength in the recovery so far.

This graph shows the number of active homes on the market that are
not already spoken for by a buyer at the time of reporting. At the end of
May 42% of the properties in the MLS were already under contract. Still
a decent number for the current situation, but lower than we have seen
in recent years.

Price reductions have increased quite a bit
over the last month as sellers have really
gotten serious about selling.

This chart shows the number of properties going under
contract each week throughout the year. A large drop during
March and April has been followed by a very strong recovery
in May. Seems like there was a backlog of demand.

This graph shows the number of closings on a weekly
basis. Newly accepted contracts take 30 to 60 days to
make it to the closing table. We are seeing the results of
the forced slow down.
