Denver Real Estate Market Update: What’s Happening Right Now?

If there’s one question that always comes up in real estate conversations, it’s this: “How’s the market?”

According to Justin Joseph with LIV Sotheby’s International Realty in Denver, Colorado, the answer isn’t as simple as people might think. His response? “It depends.”

The real estate market is nuanced, and broad headlines don’t always tell the full story. Whether someone is buying, selling, investing, or just keeping an eye on trends, the right strategy depends on their specific situation. And right now, the Denver market is showing some interesting signs of movement.

What the Data Tells Us About the Market

Real estate is best understood through data, and Denver’s numbers from the past month reveal a clear trend: buyer activity is increasing.

📊 Key Market Insights:
✅ 90.5% increase in showing activity from December to January, signaling a strong start to the year.
✅ 46.6% more showings compared to this time last year, showing buyers are engaged.
✅ Homes are going under contract after an average of 13.5 showings, the fastest pace since mid-2024.
✅ 42.8% of homes listed in January are already under contract or sold.

For months, many buyers hesitated, waiting for interest rates to drop. But now, it appears that many have decided to move forward despite market conditions, realizing that waiting may not be the best strategy.

Anecdotal Evidence: Homes Are Moving Fast

Beyond the numbers, there are real-world examples of Denver’s active market.

🏡 A home in Washington Park, recently listed by a colleague at Justin’s office, attracted multiple offers and sold well over asking. It was a corner lot, full of charm, and in a prime location—exactly the type of home that sparks competition.

🏡 A home Justin listed in Central Park had a great price point and was prepped for the market perfectly. Again, multiple offers and a sale over asking price.

These sales reinforce a simple truth: the right home, in the right condition, at the right price—will attract competition.

What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?

📌 For sellers: The market is showing strength, but strategy matters. Well-positioned, well-marketed homes are selling quickly and for top dollar.

📌 For buyers: The increased activity means competition is heating up. Waiting may not be the best move, as demand is clearly rising.

What’s Next?

Whether buying or selling, success in real estate comes down to timing, pricing, and marketing. The Denver market is shifting, and now more than ever, having the right strategy is key.
