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...
I've been watching the Colorado market closely this June, and the picture is more interesting than the headlines suggest. Rates moved sideways. Inventory kept building. And buyer behavior is shifting in a way that's creating real openings, especially for people who've been waiting on the sidelines. Here's where things actually stand mid-June 2026, and what it means if you're thinking about buying or...
The May numbers are in, and the picture they paint heading into June is unusually clear. Inventory is up, rates have settled into a narrow band, and the panic-buying energy from spring 2024 is long gone. That doesn't mean the market is slow. It means the rules have shifted, and the buyers and sellers who adjust quickest are the ones getting the better deals. Here's what I'm watching as June...
I've been watching the spring market wind down across Parker, Aurora, and Lone Tree the past two weeks, and the shift into summer is already showing up in showings, days on market, and how buyers are writing offers. If you listed in April expecting a 7-day cash war and you're sitting at 28 days with one weak offer, you're not alone. The market didn't get worse. It just stopped being spring. Summer is a...
Memorial Day weekend always feels like a turning point for the Colorado market. The spring rush is winding down, summer is right around the corner, and both buyers and sellers tend to take stock of where things actually stand. So here's what I'm seeing as we head into the long weekend. Rates Have Stayed in the Mid-6s 30-year fixed mortgage rates have been hovering in the mid-6% range for most of May, and...
Quick answer: Active inventory across the Denver metro is meaningfully higher this spring than it was a year ago, and median days on market has climbed from the low teens into the 30 to 40 day range. Price reductions are more common, and the supply-demand balance has tilted toward buyers in most price bands. But the under $500,000 segment is still moving fast, and the $1M+ tier is the slowest. The...
