Is It a Buyer’s Market or Seller’s Market in Denver?

• Buyers’ Market: Many Denver suburbs (especially new builds, higher-end homes) now tilt toward buyers—lots of options, longer days on market, sellers more open to negotiations.
• Sellers’ Market: Established neighborhoods near downtown, great schools, or parks are still seeing homes fly off the shelves with multiple offers and rising prices.

Why “Hyper-Local” Matters Now

The Denver market right now is all about neighborhood data. One block can trend hot for sellers, the next could favor buyers. That’s why having a local expert (hey, that’s me!) makes all the difference—so you know how to price, shop, or negotiate based on what’s really happening where you want to buy or sell.

Final Thoughts: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know

• For Buyers:
  • Inventory is up, so you have more choices and stronger negotiating power in many Denver neighborhoods.
  • Don’t be afraid to make offers below asking or negotiate concessions—many sellers are motivated, especially on homes that have been listed for more than 2 weeks.
  • Be prepared with updated pre-approval—competition can still pop up in hot spots near parks, schools, or downtown.
• For Sellers:
  • Pricing realistically is more important than ever. Overpricing leads to longer days on market and often ends in price reductions.
  • Homes in desirable, established areas are still selling quickly—presentation and condition matter!
  • Consider strategic incentives (like helping with closing costs or rate buy-downs) to stand out in a more competitive landscape.
• For Both:
