In 2005, the average listing price of condos has been $189,000 but in 2008 the price have fallen to $171,000 and they still continue to fall, but not as much as the decrease in sing family homes. This is a reason why one should consider this class of real estate.

The number of sales have also been steadily decreasing over the past 3 years, 11,600 condominiums were for sale in 2005 versus 9,800 for sale in 2008 in metro Denver. With the economy in downturn, the foreclosures and short sales have increasing been the largest number of sales for this year. The number of sales of distressed assets have increased to 41 percent of sales in 2008.

Denver condominiums are better option than apartments for many residents. They offer comfort and style for there residents. All of the residents have access to amenities like fitness center, pools, business center, spas, and parking facilities as well as guarded entrance.
