The Denver area housing market has quickly turned into a seller's market.  Buyers are competing to close on homes and the inventory of homes for sale remains at historically low levels. 

"The average sales price stood at $284,059 in May," reports Dennis Huspeni of The Denver Business Journal, "up 3.2 percent from April and up 10.45 percent year over year."

And homes that are available are moving quickly.  "Just look at what happened in my neighborhood, which has 1,200 homes," said Gary Bauer, a real estate consultant. "Twenty units were put on the market last month and 18 were under contract within a one-week period. That's just a sample of what's been happening in the whole marketplace."

There are many buyers just waiting for new listings to come on the market, and then begins the bidding wars...so if you've been waiting to sell, now is the time.

But, make sure your property is ready to sell.  If you want it to move fast, Metro Broker Shara Eastern has tips on What you need to know to sell your home.
