The average sale price for homes in metro Denver set a new record in June at $304,055, according to statistics released today.
That’s up 5.2 percent from last month but relatively flat from June’s average last year of $303,574.
“It’s mainly an issue of mix,” said Gary Bauer, an independent real-estate analyst who compiles a monthly housing report using statistics from MetroList. “More of the higher-priced homes closed this month.”
Thirty-nine percent of the 5,129 homes sold had a sale price of more than $300,000, up 3 percent from last month, Bauer said.
“Foreclosures are starting to play less of a role, but they’re still out there, and they’re still impacting the market.”
