Denver Real Estate News – August 2025

Two Sides of the Same Coin

Why July’s Market Feels So Split

 

July’s Denver real estate market is a study in contrasts. Inventory and days on market continue to edge upward, buyer activity has cooled, and yet prices are holding steady. It’s a reminder that there’s no single “market”—outcomes vary widely depending on price point, location, property type, and motivation. Someone upsizing for a growing household approaches the process very differently from a rate-watcher waiting for the perfect drop. Real estate remains hyperlocal, and each move tells its own story.

 

At the end of July, active listings reached 13,995—slightly below the long-term July average of 15,379. That’s a significant climb from the record-low 4,056 listings in 2021, but still nowhere near the 31,989 peak in 2006. Historically, inventory grows about 5.6 percent from June to July, but this year, it slipped by a fractional 0.09 percent, suggesting the seasonal high point may have already passed. In the attached market, conditions have tipped toward buyers with an average of 5.08 months of inventory across all price points. Withing that segment, Condos are facing a tougher road, with insurance and regulatory hurdles making sales more challenging.
