🔥 Your Window Is Now: Denver’s Buyer’s Market Has Arrived — And It Won’t Stay Long

Move Now or Miss Out — Denver’s Buyer’s Market Is Here, and National Data Just Confirmed It

By now, you may have seen the headlines:
“Half of all U.S. homes fall in value — biggest drop since the Great Recession.”

But here’s the part buried beneath the national narrative:

Denver is experiencing one of the steepest slides in the entire country, with 91% of homes sitting below their peak value.

For Buyers, this isn’t a warning.
It’s an invitation.

Because while “falling values” may sound ominous in the headlines, for real Buyers on the ground, it translates to:

• More selection

• More leverage

• More negotiability

• More room for long-term upside

And when Denver’s booming inventory surge is layered on top — the opportunity becomes enormous.

📈 A MARKET RESET — AND A BUYER’S ADVANTAGE YEARS IN THE MAKING

1️⃣ Prices Have Softened — And Concessions Are Everywhere

This fall, 42% of all listings reduced price, and 64% of closed sales included Seller concessions — ranging from closing cost credits to full interest-rate buydowns.

That is not a balanced market.
That is a Buyer-powered market.

Add in the new national data showing half the country’s homes off peak value — and Denver’s 91% off-peak stat leading the pack — and the opportunity becomes even more pronounced.

2️⃣ Delistings Are Not Dead Listings — They’re Private Buying Opportunities

Here's a myth-buster:

Sellers who pull their listing are not “done selling.”

Most had already made multiple price reductions, endured months of showings, and reached their limit with the constant disruption of keeping their home in perfect “show-ready” condition.

Delisting, for many, is simply retreating from the public process — not the idea of selling altogether.

These Sellers are often more receptive to off-market offers because they can:

• Avoid showings

• Avoid additional days-on-market

• Avoid another public price cut

• Negotiate quietly and privately

This is one of the richest untapped sources of value for serious Buyers — and we actively target these opportunities for clients.

3️⃣ Denver’s Explosion in Inventory = Buyer Power

Denver’s inventory hasn’t just increased —
it’s exploded.

• Up ~65% YOY

• Nearly double the typical pre-pandemic April inventory

• One of the fastest supply expansions in the nation

More homes = more choices
More choices = more leverage
More leverage = better outcomes

And in an environment where 91% of homes are below their peak valuation?
Buyers have the rare ability to choose and negotiate.

⏳ THE HOLIDAY ADVANTAGE MAKES THIS EVEN BETTER

• 🎄 Competition Drops to an Annual Low

  While inventory is high, many Buyers sit out November and December.
  This means:

  • Fewer competing offers

  • More negotiability

  • Better terms

• 💰 Sellers Become Highly Flexible

  Holiday Sellers are the motivated ones.
  They’re ready to:

  • Reduce price

  • Pay closing costs

  • Cover rate buydowns

  • Accept flexible timelines

  • Offer inspection concessions

• Seasonality + weakened demand = Buyer leverage on steroids.

  📉 Today’s Values Are Tomorrow’s Upside

  And with values expected to soften another 9% over the next 12 months, Buyers have a rare opportunity:

  Buy low now.
  Refinance later.
  Build equity through market timing — not just appreciation.

📊 WHAT BUYERS GAIN RIGHT NOW (THAT THEY WON’T IN SPRING)

• 91% of Denver homes priced below peak

• 65% YOY surge in inventory
