Metro Denver Real Estate: Weekly Market Review December, 2025:

 

Here are the highlights for December 2025 / January 2026

Single Family Residential

Single family residential activity closed out the year with inventory moving lower from the prior month while still sitting higher than this time last year. Sellers appear to be increasingly aware that the sweet spot for listing tends to be late winter into early spring, so fewer new homes entered the market as December wrapped up. New listings pulled back from both the previous month and last year. Demand showed an unusual but encouraging holiday lift with more homes going under contract compared to the month before and well above last year, though closed sales moved lower which reflects contracts written earlier in the season. Months of inventory declined month over month and our predictive supply indicator remained tight due to that late year pickup in buyer activity. Buyers who are active are being selective and disciplined, stepping forward when the home checks the boxes and the seller is willing to negotiate. Pricing softened compared to both the prior month and last year, reinforcing the importance of strategy and positioning. More than half of sales closed below asking, concessions were common, and time on market continued to lengthen to levels that are actually quite healthy. Buyers have more room to think, though the best homes are still moving quickly. Showing activity continued to slow through December, which is exactly what we expect this time of year.

Attached Residential

In the condo and townhome segment, inventory also declined from the prior month while remaining higher than last year, though that gap is narrowing. New listings slowed meaningfully from the previous month but were higher than one year ago, and the surge of inventory we saw over the past year has clearly cooled. Fewer listings expired, signaling that sellers are adjusting rather than abandoning the market. Demand strengthened with more attached homes going under contract compared to both the prior month and last year. Closed sales increased sharply, reflecting buyer activity from earlier weeks. Months of inventory edged lower and remains firmly in buyer friendly territory. Prices showed modest gains month over month but were softer when compared to last year. Most sales closed below asking and concessions remained common. Days on market stretched longer, giving buyers time and leverage, though well positioned homes in desirable areas still found buyers quickly. Showings declined from the prior month and from last year, staying consistent with the seasonal slowdown.
