Top 5 Trends
The “6% Psychological Threshold” Re-energizes Buyers
For the first time since 2022, 30-year mortgage rates have dipped below the 6% mark, acting as a major catalyst for “fence-sitters.”
Inventory Surges to Decade-Highs
Buyers in March 2026 have more options than they have had in over 10 years. Active listings in Denver have increased significantly—up over 15% year-over-year.
The Rise of “Teardown-to-Housing” Conversions
A new structural trend is emerging as vacant office buildings are being demolished to make way for residential units. With office vacancy rates near 30%, developers are increasingly filing paperwork to replace underutilized commercial blocks with hundreds of new rental and sale units to address the city’s housing needs.
A Tale of Two Markets: Single-Family vs. Attached
There is a widening performance gap between property types. While single-family home prices remain resilient, prices for condos and townhomes have softened, dropping roughly 2.8% recently due to rising HOA fees and insurance costs.
Increased Negotiating Power and Concessions
With homes staying on the market longer (averaging 33 to 70 days depending on the area), “standard” negotiations have returned. Buyers are successfully negotiating for price reductions, inspection repairs, and seller concessions—luxuries that were virtually non-existent in previous years.
