Metro Denver Residential Market Trends Report: November 2025
The Metro Denver real estate market continues to evolve, and whether you're buying or selling, staying informed is your key to success. As we wrap up November 2025, the market is showing some encouraging shifts that benefit both buyers and sellers: just in different ways than we've seen over the past few years.
Market Overview: A More Balanced Playing Field
The Denver metro area is experiencing what many real estate pros are calling a "market normalization." Gone are the days of bidding wars on every property and homes selling in 48 hours. Instead, we're seeing a healthier, more sustainable market with more breathing room for everyone.
Currently, we're sitting at about a 3-month supply of homes across most price ranges: a sweet spot that indicates neither a buyer's nor seller's market, but rather a balanced one. This is a significant improvement from the ultra-tight inventory of previous years.
What Home Buyers Need to Know Right Now
More Selection Than We've Seen in Years
Choice! Inventory has increased substantially compared to last year, giving buyers more options. With 9,418 active listings across Denver’s six counties, you’re not limited to "good enough."
- Compare multiple properties
- Wait for homes that check more boxes
- Negotiate on features and condition, not just price
Homes Still Move, But You Have More Time
Median days on the market for active listings is around 37 days—just slightly higher than last year. More breathing room, but attractive homes still move quickly.
Real Negotiation Power is Back
The average sale-to-original list price ratio sits at 94.9%. You now have room to negotiate, especially at higher price brackets, and can ask for concessions or contingencies!
What Home Sellers Should Focus On
Your Home's Value Remains Strong
Don’t let talk of a cool market fool you: homes are still selling for solid prices. Median sold price is $583,600. Pricing competitively is the key to getting attention and solid offers.
Quick Sales Are Still the Norm (With Realistic Expectations)
Median days on market for sold homes is 37 days—a modest increase, but still a healthy market. Buyers are taking more time; thorough inspections and comparisons are up.
Preparation and Presentation Matter More
- Professional photos and virtual tours
- Fix maintenance issues now
- Smart staging
- Competitive pricing based on recent comps
Market Performance by Price Segment
The Sweet Spot: $500K to $1M Range
Pending-to-total ratio is 27%, median sold price $647,125. Move-up buyers with equity are keeping this segment strong.
Entry-Level Market (Under $500K)
The under-$500K market is competitive, but increased inventory is helping first-time buyers.
Luxury Market ($1M+)
Median days on market is 40, but still selling at around 93.6% of original list price. Luxury buyers are selective and thorough—but ready to act.
Looking Ahead to 2026
Stability is back! Buyers: use your negotiation leverage & increased inventory, but don’t wait forever. Sellers: price realistically, show off your home, and expect a bit more patience for offers.
