Dive into the world of real estate statistics with me in this episode, as I explore the often overlooked yet invaluable metric of showings-to-pending. Learn how this figure can offer valuable insights for sellers, buyers, and brokers alike.

In this episode, I'll demystify the showings-to-pending statistic and discuss its significance in the real estate industry. While average sale prices and active listings are commonly discussed, showings-to-pending is a lesser-known but equally important indicator. Understanding this metric can help sellers gauge their property's performance, inform buyers on how quickly they need to act, and assist brokers in evaluating their marketing and pricing strategies.

I'll take a closer look at the Denver metro area's showings-to-pending average in March 2023, which stood at 14.1. This figure implies that a property typically received at least one offer and went under contract after 14 showings. If this doesn't happen, it may signal a need for sellers and brokers to reevaluate their strategies to ensure the property moves on the market.

Join me as I delve into the importance of showings-to-pending and how it can help real estate professionals make informed decisions for their clients. This episode is perfect for those who love statistics and want to better understand the real estate market or those who are simply curious about the less-discussed aspects of the industry.

The Denver real estate market is never static. We have already seen that to be true with the market starting to shift again, just six weeks into the new year. Given that the market is ever-changing, what strategies should sellers use to be successful in this market? The answer points to patience, preparation, and pricing.

We’re at the start of the new year, and many people are curious about how the Denver real estate market will play out in 2023. Let’s take a look at Metrolist statistics related to Inventory, Closed Price/List Price Ratios and Days on Market to evaluate the current market.

I spoke with a lender yesterday who mentioned that interest rates, at that particular moment, were at 5.875% for a 30-year fixed mortgage. I told that lender that we haven’t seen rates that high since my husband and I bought our first house in 2002.

Couple the rapidly rising interest rates with the rapidly declining stock market and you’ll notice some significant effects on the real estate market. It’s not a complete 180 from the obscene multiple-offer situations and unimaginable over-asking sale prices we experienced three months ago, but it’s turning enough that buyers and sellers are both impacted.

What are these effects on the market?
