Hot, Cold, and Everything In Between

A Spring Market Snapshot

Denver’s spring real estate market is often as unpredictable as its weather—and this year is no exception. Activity surged one week with strong buyer interest and quick sales, only to slow the next as fluctuating mortgage rates and broader economic uncertainty made buyers more hesitant. Overall, consumer sentiment leaned cautious, with both buyers and sellers ready to engage—but only when the numbers aligned with their personal goals. The market moved with a measured pace, fueled more by life transitions than by speculation or urgency.

One trend that’s held steady since January is the rise in both new listings and active listings at month’s end. While this seasonal increase is expected in spring, the scale this year stands out. At the end of April, there were 11,964 active listings across metro Denver, a 71.16% increase year-over-year, and 7,062 new listings—a jump of 18.13%. According to DMAR, national inventory is on the rise and projected to return to pre-pandemic levels by late 2025. For context, the historical average number of active listings in April (1985–2024) is 13,871. While we’re not back to that baseline yet, we’re closer than we’ve been in years. April’s 22.53% increase in active listings from March outpaced the historic average of 10.96%. Interestingly, this inventory surge didn’t cause prices to fall. Instead, we saw a month-over-month increase in the median sales price. It’s a sign of stabilization, not decline.
