A new report from Zillow shows that luxury home values rose 2.7 percent over the past year, with the typical luxury home now valued at around $1.8 million. In some high-demand cities, like New York, Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, luxury homes are commanding more than double that price.

Inventory on the Rise

What It Means for Buyers and Sellers

After years of tight supply, Denver is entering a new phase of the real estate cycle. We’re now seeing inventory build at a pace that’s putting us in national conversations—not for scarcity, but for growth. According to a report published in April, Denver ranks third behind San Jose and Las Vegas for the fastest-growing unsold inventory. It’s a notable shift, and while the swing from ultra-competitive to moderate may feel dramatic, what we’re seeing is a market that’s finally balancing out. In most neighborhoods, sellers are no longer fielding a dozen offers overnight—now, they’re competing with their neighbors to win over buyers.

As inventory builds, preparation and timing are everything. For both buyers and sellers, understanding the current rhythm of the market is key. In May, the number of new listings rose again—up 3.26 percent for detached homes and 2.80 percent for attached homes. That steady increase means more options, more comparisons, and more competition. It also means that those entering the market with a clear strategy have an edge.
