When the pandemic hit, homeowners near and far realized one big thing: they needed more space. Many metro areas saw a high number of condos hit the market as families and individuals headed for more spacious dwellings in the suburbs. But as more vaccines roll out and COVID cases go down, will we see a resurgence in people wanting to get back to the hustle and bustle of city living?

According to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, it’s possible. In DMAR’s March Market Trends Report, the association noted the only market in Colorado that’s a buyer’s market right now is downtown condos, with multiple listings on the market for over 100 days. However, as we get the greenlight for more sports, restaurants, and entertainment venues to open back up, demand for downtown condos near all the action could begin creeping up.

Despite being a less competitive market in Denver, condo living has its perks, depending on your living needs and lifestyle. Some of the best things about condo living include:

Maintenance:
With a condo, maintenance is minimal because someone else handles the outside work. One of the biggest draws of condo ownership is ditching the maintenance that you might not have the time, desire, or ability to tackle – like mowing the lawn or shoveling snow. Your monthly condo fees cover these services.

Location:
Downtown condos make for easy access to bars, restaurants, sporting events, shopping, and more.

Amenities:
Most condo facilities have a pool, gym, community area, and other amenities that make them very appealing.

Safety and security:
Many condos have keycard type access so only owners and their guests can enter.
