Colorado Home Prices and Inventory: Real Data, Real Patterns You Need to Know

Let’s talk numbers that matter. In Colorado, recent market data shows that median home prices have softened compared to last year, sales volume is down, and homes are spending more time on the market. Specifically, recent figures show year-over-year price drops and slower sales across the state.

In the Denver metro, homes are selling a bit slower than they did in late 2024, with longer days on market and a slight drop in median sale prices. 

This isn’t a headline about crash or chaos; it’s about balance returning after years of tight conditions. Buyers are no longer under extreme time pressure, and sellers who adjust expectations are seeing better engagement. For sellers, this means honing your pricing strategy matters more than ever. For buyers, this means you can take a thoughtful approach to negotiations without feeling rushed.

Quick takeaways for local clients:

• Colorado homes overall are slightly more affordable than a year ago.

• Inventory is higher than last year, giving buyers more options.

• Negotiation isn’t a buzzword anymore: it’s a real advantage in many transactions.
