Total year-to-date sales volume in metro Denver through the month of November increased by 6% compared to the same time frame of 2018. This increase was most likely thanks to a 3% increase in the number of properties sold, as well as a 3% increase in the average sold price. The number of homes sold grew from 48,195 January through November of 2018 to 49,623 through the same time frame of this year.
