Market Update | June 2025
The Denver Metro housing market took a notable turn in June 2025, officially favoring buyers for the first time in over a decade. According to DMAR’s latest report, the region is experiencing a record-breaking gap between the number of active listings and buyers—roughly 4,800 more homes on the market than buyers in June alone. Inventory surged to nearly 14,000 active listings, the highest level in over ten years, offering house hunters more choices and greater leverage. Homes are also sitting longer, with the average days on market stretching to 33 days.

Despite this shift, pricing has remained relatively stable. Median closed prices rose modestly by about 2% year-over-year, and both closed and pending sales saw a month-over-month increase, signaling that buyers are still active but taking a more strategic approach. However, the close-to-list price ratio dipped to around 98.1%, indicating that sellers are more willing to negotiate in order to get deals across the finish line. As a result, competition has cooled, and buyers are no longer feeling the pressure to make rushed or overly aggressive offers.

As we move into the second half of 2025, Denver’s real estate market presents a new playing field. Sellers will need to be strategic—focusing on presentation, pricing, and prep work to stand out in a more crowded marketplace. Meanwhile, buyers have a unique opportunity to explore their options and secure properties with more favorable terms. With balance returning to the market, it’s no longer about speed—it’s about smart, informed decisions for all parties involved.
