December '09 Sold Prices Sky-Rocket over Dec '08 in Denver

Houses sold just last month sold at an average price of 17% higher than prices last December of '08 (from $240,900 to $281,700). This is yet more evidence that Denver, unlike other cities in the nation, is way passed bottom.
Some neighborhoods did even better than this, such as Denver Northeast and Southeast. Denver Northeast sold at 33% higher December of '09 than December of '08! And Denver Southeast sold at 22.4% higher. Denver Southwest was even higher at 24.7%!


These are significant numbers. That 22% in Denver Southeast actually means houses are selling for $80,000 MORE this December than last December! And thats 175 sales in Dec '09 vs 168 in Dec '08, so if anything Dec '09 is a more precise average with the more number of sales. Who says prices are still going down in Denver? These numbers are all across the board except for Broomfield(down 9% Dec '09 vs Dec '08) and Brighton(-2.8%).
