October ‘25 Market Report

The Denver real estate market showed signs of balance and cautious optimism as the year moved into its final stretch. Inventory continued to rise compared to earlier in the year, which gave buyers more choices and eased the competitive pressure that defined previous seasons. Prices held relatively steady, with slight softening in some areas, especially within the attached home market. Detached single-family homes maintained value due to steady demand and limited new supply in desirable neighborhoods. Homes spent more time on the market, and buyers became increasingly selective, focusing on well-priced, move-in-ready homes and negotiating more confidently.

For sellers, the landscape required a strategic approach. The days of immediate bidding wars had passed, and success relied on thoughtful pricing, strong presentation, and clear expectations. Buyers benefited from the shift with more breathing room, greater selection, and opportunities to negotiate, though affordability challenges remained due to price levels and interest rates. Overall, the market moved toward equilibrium, with neither buyers nor sellers holding all the leverage. October reflected a more mature and steady phase in Denver real estate, favoring those who prepared well, priced accurately, and partnered with knowledgeable professionals.
