July 2025 Market Trends Across Colorado
Colorado’s real estate market is shifting rapidly this summer—and whether you’re buying or selling, understanding what’s happening across Denver and the foothills can help you make better decisions. July’s data reveals rising inventory, changing buyer behavior, and price adjustments in some high-demand areas. Let’s break it all down.
📊 Inventory Is Surging—Especially in the Denver Metro
According to recent data, Denver’s housing inventory has reached one of the highest levels in years—up nearly 100% from typical April numbers. Sellers are listing more properties than we’ve seen since 2017, but many buyers are sitting on the sidelines due to higher mortgage rates and affordability concerns.
-
Over 10,000 active listings in the 11-county Denver metro area
-
Nearly double the long-term seasonal average
-
Price cuts becoming more frequent to attract buyer interest
This increase in supply is creating a more competitive environment for sellers and giving buyers more options (and negotiating power) than they’ve had in years.
🏔️ Foothills Markets Are Seeing Price Adjustments
In the mountain and foothill communities like Evergreen, Conifer, and Bailey, we’re seeing a different kind of shift. Homes in these areas are sitting slightly longer on the market, and sellers are adjusting prices to match buyer expectations.
-
Average days on market has increased in many foothill zip codes
-
Price reductions are common, especially for homes above $900K
-
Buyers are seeking move-in-ready properties with outdoor appeal
The upside for buyers? Foothill homes with stunning views or proximity to trailheads are still in demand—but at more approachable prices.
💰 What It Means for Buyers
If you’ve been waiting for a sign to jump in, this might be it. With increased inventory and sellers becoming more flexible, July offers more choice and negotiation potential.
-
More listings mean less bidding war pressure
-
Sellers are more open to offering concessions
-
FHA and VA buyers may have better odds in some markets
Pair that with well-prepared financing and a savvy local agent, and you’ll be in a strong position this summer.
🏡 What It Means for Sellers
Now is not the time to overprice. To stand out in a crowded market, you need to think like a buyer:
-
Stage your home to highlight light, space, and outdoor living
-
Consider pre-listing inspections to reduce surprises
-
Price competitively and be open to creative offers
And remember: homes with updated kitchens, energy-efficient features, or flexible outdoor space are performing best.
📅 Looking Ahead
If these trends hold, we could be moving toward a more balanced Colorado market heading into fall. For now, July is shaping up to be the month where informed strategy—not speculation—makes all the difference.
