Greater Denver Metro Housing Market Trends & Real Estate Report

What are the current real estate market conditions in Denver?​

​

The Greater Metro Denver housing market is showing classic spring momentum, testing the resilience of both buyers and sellers amid persistent mortgage rates. According to recent DMAR data, the median close price for a resale home in the Denver metro area holds at $605,000, representing a 2.5% increase month-over-month. Well-priced properties are moving efficiently, with the median days in the MLS tightening to just 14 days. That said, headwinds may be on the horizon ... read my analysis of the $750K–$999K segment on page 14.

​

Is the Denver housing market favoring buyers or sellers right now?
 

Market dynamics heavily depend on the property segment. The detached single-family home market remains highly competitive with a lower months-supply of inventory, pushing median prices up to $670,000 (a 4.4% jump month-over-month). Conversely, the attached condo and townhome market is experiencing a softer climate with rising active inventory, making accurate pricing and strategic seller concessions essential tools for sellers looking to stand out.

​

What does current Denver housing inventory mean for buyers and sellers?

Active inventory has climbed past 11,500 listings, giving Denver buyers more options than they have seen in several years—particularly in the sub-$500k price bands. For buyers, this creates a distinct window of opportunity to negotiate inspection items or seller concessions for mortgage rate buydowns. For sellers, "aspirational pricing" is highly penalized by the current market; precision pricing, professional staging, and pristine property condition are mandatory to capture active buyer demand.
