Housing economists vary on their assessments of what’s to come during the next 12 months.
DENVER — After a year marked by volatile — and frequently high — mortgage rates, little inventory and affordability issues that sidelined many buyers, the 2024 housing market outlook offers more of the same, albeit with some relief.
Housing economists vary somewhat on their assessments of what’s to come in the for-sale market during the next 12 months, and predicting factors like where mortgage rates will end up can be difficult. Most, however, agree the conditions for housing will improve, even if only slightly, and that’s expected to unlock inventory, moderate home-price appreciation and make transactions easier to achieve.
In Denver, home prices are expected to decline modestly — about 5.1% according to realtor.com’s 2024 National Housing Forecast. With that, sales growth is expected to decrease by 15.3%.
