February 2025 | Denver Metro Market Stats

 
"February brings a fresh start, a sense of clarity and focus heading into the spring market – buyers and sellers both gained momentum in February as the weather warmed and the sun appeared between weekend snowstorms; multiple offers have even returned for some listings. Seller activity jumped in February, increasing new listings month-over-month by 11.17 percent and up 13.81 percent year-over-year. An increase in inventory is typical this time of year as sellers enter the market after pulling back during the winter months. New listings entering the market have been low over the past couple of years; homeowners are locked into 30-year fixed-rate mortgages in the three percent range or lower and have difficulty justifying a purchase that increases costs. As time has gone on, the conversation has evolved from when rates will decline to navigating a market with high interest rates for the foreseeable future. As time passes, our lives evolve and the low interest rate carries less weight when considering staying in a home that no longer meets our needs."

  • LUXURY MARKET ($1,000,000+): "Sellers in the $1+ million market had a strong start in February, posting the largest proportional increase in new listings among all market segments, climbing 165 units and growing by 27.82 percent. Buyers followed their lead, boosting month-over-month pending transactions by 40.95 percent and decreased drastically month-over-month from 54 to 19 days. With concurrent and positive signals in both price-per-square foot and close-price-to-list-price ratios, Denver's $1+ million market is starting off impressively strong for the spring selling season." Michelle Schwinghammer, DMAR Market Trends Committee Member & Denver REALTOR®
 
  • SIGNATURE MARKET ($750,000 - $999,999): "The market is seeing a significant uptick in new listings across both detached and attached homes compared to previous years. For instance, residential new listings rose from 776 in 2021 to 1,408, an 81.44 percent increase from the lowest point in 2021, with detached homes jumping from 994 to 1,256 (23.36 percent) year-over-year. This growth in inventory means more options for buyers, potentially reducing competition and giving you a better chance to find a home that fits your needs without the frenzy of bidding wars. Sitting on the fence might mean missing out on this wider selection before inventory tightens again later this year." Greg Cox, DMAR Market Trends Committee Member & Denver REALTOR®.
 
  • PREMIER MARKET ($500,000 - $749,999) "The relationship between supply and demand illustrates the momentum of the market. In February, there were 4.95 percent more listings than the previous month alongside a 10.83 percent increase in closings, indicating that demand has outpaced supply relative to January. This trend is consistent with typical seasonal patterns. When considering momentum at the start of the year, it's important to understand the varying factors that impact supply and demand. Sellers do not normally want to sell their house in December during the holidays and, as previously noted, hit snooze in January. This is reflected by the increased inventory in February. Buyers, on the other hand, often make their New Year's resolution to purchase a house and hit the ground running. That and the perceived stability within the economy have jump-started the year. This reflected in the inventory this month. Single-family detached properties had a 2.47 month of inventory (MOI), which is the most competitive price point throughout Denver Metro. The attached properties MOI was 4.89, the second most competitive price point." Andrew Abrams, DMAR Market Trends Committee Member, and Denver REALTOR®.
