What’s really happening with Denver home prices, and what does it mean for you?

The Denver housing market is slowing down, but that’s not a bad thing. In fact, it may be the best time in years to buy smart or sell strategically.

What the Headlines Are Saying

Recent reports show that nearly 4 in 10 homes in Denver have lowered their prices. That’s more than any other major city in the country, according to Axios and MarketWatch.

But here’s what those headlines don’t say: Homes are still selling. The market isn’t crashing. It’s adjusting, giving buyers more choices and helping sellers who are willing to price wisely.

What This Means for Buyers

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, this could be it.

  • More listings are available than we’ve seen in years.

  • Homes are staying on the market longer, giving you more time to decide.

  • Sellers are open to negotiations, like price reductions or closing cost help.

The key? Be ready, get pre-approved, and work with a local expert who knows how to spot value.

What This Means for Sellers

Yes, price cuts are happening, but that doesn’t mean your home won’t sell.

  • Well-priced, move-in ready homes are still in demand.

  • Buyers are active, especially when homes are staged and marketed well.

  • You may not need to drop your price, instead, consider offering small incentives like help with loan costs or quick closings.

As someone with nearly 30 years of experience in Denver real estate, I’ve seen the market shift before. This isn’t a downturn, it’s a rebalancing. And if you approach it with the right strategy, it can work in your favor.

Bottom Line

The Denver market isn’t falling, it’s finding its footing. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, now is the time to act smart, not scared.
