Why Metro-Wide Real Estate Stats are Largely Useless

Every month we get inundated with stats about home sales across the nation, across the state, and across the front range.  As for “local” stats, the most commonly cited stats are for home sales across several different counties.  Even the stats provided by the Denver Metro Association of Realtors include several outlying counties such as Clear Creek, Elbert, Gilpin, and Park.  You might ask yourself, “how useful is it to compare sales in Park County with sales in Denver?”

Even in urban counties like Arapahoe, Denver and Jefferson, stats can vary greatly between different areas.  For example, check out the how much the stats vary between the homes surrounding First Alliance Title’s 4 office locations.  For the stats below, we pulled sales data for homes within a one mile radius of each office and compared 2018 with 2019.  You’ll notice that the change in average sales price varies greatly across these areas.
