Denver, CO housing market

If you're selling in Denver right now, the market is telling you something clearly: buyers have room to push back. Nearly three in ten listings on the market have already taken a price cut, and that's the clearest sign of where leverage sits. The typical Denver home is worth about five hundred thirty-six thousand dollars, down a little over 3 percent from a year ago. Meanwhile sellers keep coming, with around one thousand seven hundred new listings hitting the market and roughly four thousand four hundred homes total sitting for sale. That supply is why the typical home now takes about fifty days to go under contract, plenty of time for buyers to compare, negotiate, and walk away. Notice too that the median list price, about five hundred twenty-nine thousand dollars, sits below the typical home value, which means sellers are already pricing to compete. For a Denver homeowner, the takeaway is simple. Price right from day one, because overpricing here doesn't get you a better offer, it gets you fifty days of waiting followed by a cut.
