1. Buyer Options-More Homes on the Market
Colorado had 42,639 homes for sale in July. That number is up 16.4% compared to July of 2024’s inventory.
More listings on the market provide buyers with a wide array of options to choose from. This is a new trend we are seeing given the past few years low-supply circumstances
2. Properties Prices: Reducing or Staying Stagnant?
Median home prices in Colorado were around $590K in July, 2025. That is a slight 0.6% increase year-over-year
Condos and townhomes statewide are showing a slight downward trend in price, dropping just over 1% month-over-month. Compared to last year, prices are 6% down.
3. Home Sale Timeline - Days Spent on Market before Sale
Homesstayed on the market for about 39 days during the month of July here on Colorado. That has increased by 11 days year-over-year.
Homes in the Denver Metro Area are lingering longer on the market, allowing for homebuyers to spend more time deciding what home is right for them and their budgets.
4. Rising Inventory Across the State
Home listings are up! The quantity of homes for sale has gone up, especially compared to pre-pandemic levels.
Buyers have more power then usual in the climate of Colorado’s current market because inventory continues to climb as more homes are listed. Across Colorado and other Western states we are seeing this trend of increased inventory.
This data reported was reported by DMAR from July 2025 market trends.
What This Means for Buyers
More time to decide, more options, and less competition!
- August of 2025 is looking like it is going to be a ‘buyers market’
As prices level off/soften, especially with condos and townhomes, buyers now have more leverage because of increased supply.
This current market allows for buyers to take a considerate and thoughtful approach when it comes to buying a home or property.
What This Means for Sellers
In this cooling market, it’s important for sellers to be aware of the current slower paced climate. Homes are selling slower then usual but that can be combated by pricing your home competivly. Offering buying incentives is also another way to attract buyers in a more timely manner then market is allowing for.
Adjusting your listing price is something sellers should be open to given the slower selling rate we are seeing. Accommodate your home price to match the market trends so you don’t price yourself out of the game!
Highlight unique features, present your home well, and price smartly since buyers have the luxury of choice with this current high volume of inventory.
August of 2025’s current forecast is showing subtle but meaningful change. The flexibility, choices, and time that buyers have this month allows buys to lurches with confidence. Sellers are still in the game this month but they need to be strategic, adaptive, and responsive. Expectations from buyers are currently higher than usual but those expectations can be met by pricing competitively, offering buying incentives, and presenting your homes unique/aesthetic features.
