Real Estate News - Recent Reports
The real estate market is poised for an active Spring market. The key factors for home buyers and sellers to be aware of include:
Inventory is Up
Mortgage rates are expected to be stable in 2025
Home values are up, but only modest gains are forecast this year
Demand remains strong in the Denver metro area
This chart tracks the median price of sold homes in the Denver Metro area*. The Spring market between February and June is typically the most active. Inventory is expected to increase, and buyer demand is strongest, driving prices up in this window of time.
Through the rest of the year, we typically see high inventory through Fall, but buyer demand tends to decline. This can be a great opportunity for home buyers to find a good value.
Overall, the red columns show the end of year median home values. We have seen modest increases in each of the past two years. Experts are forecasting a similar market for 2025.
*Single family home sales in the following counties: Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, Douglas, Jefferson, Broomfield
The second chart shows the active inventory of available listings. As mortgage rates declined in 2024, sellers entered the market with the expectation of increased buyer demand.
This was true for the first half of the year, but rates stabilized and rose through the end of the year. Inventory remains higher and home values declined moderately.
Looking ahead, home buyers are becoming more accustomed to the current rate environment. Active inventory is expected to remain strong. This relationship creates a fairly neutral housing market benefiting both buyers and sellers.
Contact me if you have any questions or if you would like more details about these reports.

How Clutter Creates Stress and Anxiety: Strategies for Decluttering Your Home
Stacks of unopened mail, cluttered countertops, overstuffed closets, and those I’ll-get-to-it-later piles aren’t just household annoyances. A growing body of research links clutter at home to increased stress and anxiety — sometimes even linking clutter and depression.
“Our culture teaches us that the more you own, the happier you’ll be,” says Joseph Ferrari, professor of psychology at DePaul University in Chicago, who has long studied the impact of clutter on the psyche. “But it’s actually the opposite: The more you have, the less happy you tend to be.”
10 Ways to Declutter Your Home — and Boost Your Mood
Organizing a space may not rid you completely of stressful or depressive feelings, but researchers say it may help you dig out of a rut. Research and organization experts offer these 10 tips on how to declutter your home and manage stress in the process.
