More inventory creates room to negotiate as
Denver’s market settles into a new rhythm.
Real estate data always arrives a step behind the
market. September's numbers mostly tell us where buyers were in August,
and the months ahead will show how they're responding to what September
delivered. After months of drifting, rates finally picked a direction in
September, and it wasn't the one buyers wanted. The 30-year fixed rate
climbed each week, topping out at about 7.5 percent by the end of the
month. Mid-month, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate for
the first time since July 2023. Anyone holding out for cheaper financing
just watched the Fed move the other way.
It's important to note that September's closings don't yet reflect that
shift. Most homes that closed in September went under contract in
August, when rates were still hovering around 6.7 percent. Even so,
closed sales fell 11.71 percent month-over-month and 21.39 percent
year-over-year to 2,849, the fewest September closings on record dating
back to 2008. The first real read on September's rate climb comes from
pending sales, which slipped 6.07 percent to 2,908, a measured pullback
rather than a retreat. The full impact will show up in October and
November closings, and softer numbers ahead would not be surprising.
Year-to-date, closings trail 2025 by 4.96 percent, a gap that has
widened since August.
Rates and policy will keep surprising us, but the Denver market's
response to those surprises has become very consistent. Since 2023,
year-to-date closings have stayed within roughly six percent of one
another, while the overall median price has stayed within about three
percent. The year-to-date median close price for detached homes is
$650,000, matching each of the past two years. The
close-price-to-list-price ratio was 98.45 percent this September, up
from 98.32 percent last September, and the median days in the MLS came
in at 32, down from 35 year-over-year. Inventory followed its usual
seasonal arc, climbing through the summer to 13,567 active listings at
month's end.
This consistency creates opportunities for buyers who know where to
look. With 4.76 months of inventory, buyers have more selection and more
room to negotiate. Condos and townhomes offer the greatest leverage.
With 7.21 months of inventory and a median close price of $365,500, down
6.28 percent year-over-year, the attached segment favors prepared buyers
and sellers who price with HOA fees and insurance costs in mind.
DMAR's monthly report also includes statistics and analyses in its
supplemental markets that include properties sold for $1 million or
greater, properties sold between $750,000 and $999,999 and properties
sold between $500,000 and $749,999.
While overall year-to-date sales across the Denver Metro area were down
4.96 percent, sales in the $1 million+ segment were up 1.99 percent,
with 4,449 closed sales so far this year. Sales volume in this segment
was also up 3.17 percent, reaching $7.30 billion, barely shy of its 2022
peak. In September, new listings in this segment jumped 12.15 percent
month-over-month, suggesting increased seller confidence. Buyers within
the segment aren’t exactly taking the scenic route either. $1 million+
listings spent a median of just 21 days in the MLS in September,
compared with 32 days across the broader market. Detached homes moved
even faster, selling in a median of 19 days.
While attached properties across the broader Denver Metro market
continued to struggle, the $1 million+ segment is bucking that trend.
Year-to-date closed sales for attached homes in the $1 million+ segment
were up 6.35 percent, with homes selling in a median of 23 days in the
MLS. And that strength isn’t confined to just one section of this
market. Sales are up across all three luxury attached segments analyzed
in the report: 5.60 percent in the $1 million to $1.5 million range;
5.41 percent in the $1.5 million to $2 million range; and 11.11 percent
in the $2 million+ range. That’s not a random signal—it’s a message.
