What this report tells you: Since I am out there, working in Arvada’s real estate market every day, I would have guessed that this price range would show a decrease in the days on market from previous years, and yet it is up. I am not surprised that the percentage of homes sold as short sales and foreclosures are increasing, as the banks have been telling us they’re going to start releasing their inventory. What I can tell you for sure, is that the best homes in this price range go very fast, usually with several competing offers.

The following information was obtained from Metrolist on May 10, 2012. This report includes only detached single family Arvada homes listed or sold between $150,000 and $200,000. I’m using the term ‘distressed sales’ to refer to short sales and foreclosures. A ‘regular’ sale may also have been ‘distressed’ in the sense that the home was in need of major work.
- Currently, there are 26 Arvada homes for sale between $150-200,000. 4 of these homes are short sales and 8 are foreclosures. That’s a 46% rate of distressed sales in this price range’s active homes

The number of homes that are underwater is something we hear on the news all the time, yet I still think this is an interesting question. Public perception is so completely skewed, it’s no wonder that even people who CAN buy a house AREN’T.
