Arvada CO Homes 400-500,000 January 2012

What this report tells you: Since no Arvada homes sold in this price range in January of 2010 or 2011, expectations aren't high, to say the least. 5 did sell this January, and 11 are currently under contract. Still, with 31 more currently for sale the spring months will hopefully bring more good news.

The following information was obtained from Metrolist on February 15, 2012. This report includes only detached single family Arvada homes listed or sold between $400,000 and $500,000. I’m using the term ‘distressed sales’ to refer to short sales and foreclosures. A ‘regular’ sale may also have been ‘distressed’ in the sense that the home was in need of major work.

• Currently, there are 31 Arvada homes for sale in this price range. None are short sales, or foreclosures.
