The average asking rent across metro Denver is $1,758 a month. That is the same figure this market posted in the first quarter of 2022, dollar for dollar, four years ago. Rents here have been falling for two years straight, and most of the renters I talk to have not really registered what that means for their own decision yet. What Actually Happened to Denver Rents The short version is that a lot of...
I've had three separate conversations this week with clients who used almost the same phrase: "the market feels different than it did in June." They're not wrong. Denver's numbers for July just came out, and for the first time since early spring, prices across the board actually dipped instead of climbed. According to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors' latest Market Trends Report, the median price...
A stat crossed my desk this week that stopped me mid-scroll. In May 2021, the average home listed in Denver Metro was getting 14.2 showings a month. This May, that number was 4.7. That's not a typo, and it's not one bad month. It's a nearly two-thirds decline over five years, according to InfoSparks data cited in the Denver Metro Association of Realtors' June 2026 Market Trends Report. If you've listed a...
Denver's housing market has spent most of this year being described the same way: balanced, cooling, buyers finally getting some breathing room after a stretch of sellers calling the shots. That description is accurate for most of the market. It is not what's happening at the top of it. Through the first half of 2026, luxury homes accounted for 2,973 sales across the Denver metro area, or just over 14...
A client called me last week convinced the Denver market must be swinging back toward sellers. Her reasoning made sense on paper: active listings across the metro are down almost 19% from last year, and less inventory is supposed to mean sellers hold the cards. Then she checked how long her neighbor's house had been sitting, six weeks and still unsold, and the theory fell apart. That contradiction is...
The 30-year mortgage rate just touched 6.55%, the highest it's been all year. If that number alone makes you want to put your plans on hold, I'd slow down before you decide anything. The rate move is real, but it's not actually the most interesting thing happening in the Colorado market this month. The Rate Move, and Why It's Smaller Than the Headline According to Freddie Mac's weekly survey, the 30-year...
I had a buyer tell me last week that she was waiting for prices to "actually drop" before writing an offer in Aurora, and two days later a seller asked me why her home hadn't gotten a single showing in ten days even though it was priced right against the comps. Both conversations come down to the same handful of numbers, and it's worth walking through what they actually say heading into the second half of...
I keep having the same conversation twice a week right now, once with a buyer who's tired of waiting for the "right" house and once with a seller who's convinced their home is worth what the neighbor's sold for two years ago. Both are a little right, and both need to hear what the numbers are actually saying heading into July. Where Mortgage Rates Stand Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey put the...
Will Colorado home prices drop in 2026? Denver metro's median price is still rising while inventory grows. Here is what the latest data means for buyers and sellers.
We are halfway through 2026, and the Denver metro housing market is doing something it has not done in a while: it is just being steady. No crash, no frenzy. If you have been waiting for a dramatic signal before you make a move, this might be the year you stop waiting for one. Here is where things actually stand at mid-year, and what it means for buyers and sellers alike. Where prices stand at...
