Hey Denver neighbors! As your local real estate expert, I know these "Market Trends Reports" can sometimes look like a bunch of confusing numbers. But what's really important is how this information affects your plans—whether you’re dreaming of buying or getting ready to sell.

Let's break down the key takeaways from the November 2025 Denver Metro Market Trends report in simple terms.

What Happened to Prices?

The Median Close Price (that middle-of-the-road price point) for a home in November was $585,000.

• The Trend: This price actually dropped slightly by 0.85% compared to October.

• What this means for you: Prices held steady, dipping just a tiny bit as we moved into the colder months. This is pretty typical as we close out the year and things slow down a little.

Fewer Homes Sold—Is the Market Slowing Down?

We saw a decrease in the number of Closed Homes (Sales), with only 2,734 sales. That’s a big drop of 23.37% from the month before.

• The Trend: Both sales count and the total dollar amount of sales (Sales Volume) dropped significantly.

• What this means for you:

  • Buyers: Less competition out there! Serious buyers who are ready to move can often find great opportunities when there are fewer people bidding.

  • Sellers: It means the buyers who are out there are likely very focused and serious, but your home needs to be priced right to capture their attention.

Time on the Market is Up (But Not by Much!)

The Median Days in MLS (how long it took for the typical home to get an offer) was 36 days.

• The Trend: That's an increase of about 9% from October.

• What this means for you: Homes are taking a bit longer to go under contract. This is great news for Buyers because it gives you time to breathe, think things over, and do your due diligence without feeling rushed into a decision.

Key Takeaway: The Inventory Story

• Active Listings (the total number of homes for sale): 10,506 (down 15.92%)

• New Listings (fresh homes coming on the market): 2,620 (down a massive 41.39%)

• Months of Inventory (a measure of how quickly homes would sell if no new ones came out): 3.84 Months (up 2.95%)

The big story here is that a lot fewer new homes came onto the market in November. This drop in new homes, combined with the drop in sales, is why the Months of Inventory (the market health barometer) only ticked up slightly. The market is still pretty balanced, not flooded with homes.

What Should You Do Right Now?

For Buyers: This is your window of opportunity.

• You have more breathing room since homes are sitting a little longer.

• Fewer buyers are actively house hunting, which means less chance of getting into a bidding war.

• Call to Action for Buyers: Don't wait for Spring! Let's talk about what you need in a home right now. The best deals often happen when everyone else is busy with the holidays.

For Sellers: Price is critical, and presentation matters more than ever.

• The market is still moving, but it's not a race like it was a year ago. Buyers have choices.

• The fact that Pending Sales dropped by 11.05% means offers are slowing down. You need to make sure your price is attractive and your home is staged beautifully to stand out.

• Call to Action for Sellers: Want to know the exact price that will get your home sold in this market? Reach out for a quick, personalized home valuation. We'll build a strategy that works.
