Denver’s Housing Market: A Mid-Year 2025 Check-In
We’re halfway through 2025, making it the perfect time to pause and see how the Denver housing market is taking shape. At Corken + Company, we know that understanding the numbers is only part of the picture. It’s knowing how to interpret them and put them to work for you that truly matters.
So far this year, Denver’s market is showing signs of balance. Prices are holding steady, inventory is growing, and sales remain healthy compared to last year. For buyers, there’s more choice and negotiating room. For sellers, it’s a market that rewards careful preparation, smart pricing, and professional marketing.
This is where our team excels. We don’t just watch the data—we help you make sense of it so you can move with confidence, whether you’re buying your dream home or listing one for sale.
What We’re Seeing So Far in 2025
Prices Holding Steady
The median closed price for all residential properties reached $610,200 in June. That’s a 1.7% increase from May, reflecting continued resilience even as the market adjusts.
Detached single-family homes averaged $809,042, showing a 2.20% increase year over year. Buyers continue to prioritize these homes for their space and privacy.
Attached homes averaged $440,121, a 6.02% decrease compared to last year. This highlights a shift in demand toward detached homes where buyers can manage it, especially given current interest rates.
Inventory Giving Buyers More Choice
Inventory has grown meaningfully over the past year, opening up options for buyers who felt squeezed during previous competitive cycles.
-
Active Listings: 14,007 (up 3% month over month)
-
Greater Metro Denver area: 13,183 active listings (31.03% higher than June 2024)
-
Months of Inventory: 3.63 (up 7.72% month over month)
This expanded inventory gives buyers time to choose the right property while also encouraging sellers to be strategic about pricing and presentation.
New Listings Slowed This Month
While overall inventory is up, June saw fewer new listings come online compared to May, suggesting some sellers are holding back.
-
DMAR: 5,929 new listings (down 18.43% month over month)
-
Land Title: 5,566 new listings (down 18.96% month over month but 2.15% higher year over year)
Even with the monthly slowdown, year-over-year comparisons indicate seller activity remains steady overall.
Sales Activity Shows Seasonal Cooling
Sales eased slightly from May, a normal pattern as summer begins, but they remain healthy compared to last year.
-
Closed Sales (DMAR): 3,864 (down 9.59% month over month)
-
Greater Metro Denver (Land Title): 3,942 closed sales (up 4.12% year over year)
-
Sales Volume: $2.87 billion (down 6.52% month over month)
This data suggests demand is stable even if buyers are moving a little more deliberately.
Homes Taking Longer to Sell
The time it takes to sell a home has lengthened, giving buyers room to negotiate while making strong preparation even more critical for sellers.
-
Median Days in MLS (DMAR): 18 days (up 38.46% month over month)
-
Average Days on Market (Land Title): 41 days (up 38.98% year over year and 12.33% from May)
Sellers need to focus on pricing correctly, showcasing their home effectively, and partnering with an experienced team to stand out.
Pending Sales Remain Solid
Pending contracts dipped slightly from May’s pace but remain above last year’s levels, signaling continued buyer interest.
-
DMAR: 4,068 pending sales (down 1.62% month over month)
-
Land Title: 3,976 pending sales (down 2.93% month over month but up 4.49% year over year)
Buyers are active, even if they’re taking more time to make final decisions.
