Additional Market Context & Insights

More Inventory, More Buyer Power

Across Colorado, housing inventory continues to climb—as seen in July reports showing 18–23% year-over-year increases in active listings statewide. This heightened inventory, along with slower sales velocity, is tilting market dynamics firmly in favor of buyers. Buyers now have more choices, more negotiating leverage, and broader time to make informed decisions. (Vail Daily)

Shifting Pricing Trends

Statewide, median single-family home prices experienced slight declines (~1–2%) in July, with condo/townhome pricing down approximately 6%. Sellers are adapting with pricing adjustments and strategic concessions amid an evolving backdrop. (Colorado Association of REALTORS+1)
