According to the latest stats released by Metrolist, metro Denver home sales held steady throughout August 2012—even rising slightly (1%) from the previous month during what is normally a cool-down period for real estate sales. The 4,685 homes sold in August represent an 18% increase compared with August 2011, and though the average sale price of $285,692 didn’t show an increase from July, it was more than 11% higher than the average August 2011.
