August 2025 - Denver Market Update

A Balanced Market Emerges as Summer Winds Down 

As summer fun gives way to back-to-school routines, the Central Denver market is revealing its own contrasts. While today’s pace may feel like a buyer’s market compared to the pandemic frenzy, the data actually suggests that the market is finding its balance

Last month, inventory and days on market continued to climb, while buyer activity in the form of homes under contract and closed transactions dipped slightly. Even with active listing inventory up 32% compared to this time last year, prices have remained mostly stable, as shown below.

With more options to choose from and days on market sitting 50% higher than July 2024, buyers are taking their time to decide and make offers.  The market is highly segmented, varying by price point and neighborhood. Well-priced, move-in-ready homes still attract buyer interest, with some receiving multiple offers—even after sitting on the market for a month or more.

I've put together some great visuals and explanations of how the market looks by price point, and in some cases by location. You can access the full guide by >> CLICKING HERE, or I can help walk you through your specific areas of interest. 

August Buyer Tips

Consider taking another look at properties that have been sitting on the market. With today’s slightly slower pace, buyers have the advantage of more time to evaluate options without the pressure of immediate competition. Homes that may have been overlooked at first glance could become great opportunities—sometimes a small update or cosmetic tweak is all it takes to make a property the right fit. In the long run, those improvements can also help build equity and add value to your investment.

August Seller Tips

With active inventory on the rise, take the opportunity to tour listings in your area, and around your price range. If you’re thinking about selling in the future, these homes are potential comparables and competition that can inform your strategy. Well-prepared homes still attract the strongest offers and navigate the inspection process more smoothly, so addressing small fixes and repairs now will pay dividends.

Michelle's Must Try

A new great spot, Town Pump Provisions, just opened next door to the Camber Realty office in Cherry Creek North, between Fillmore and Clayton on Third Ave. It’s one part grab-and-go eatery, one part curated convenience market, and home to the newest Little Man Ice Cream location. It’s the perfect spot for coffee, a quick lunch, or to grab something you forgot on your last run through the grocery store.
