In many respects, 2025 has been “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”. A new president, everyone’s awakening to AI, communication available in the most remote locations on the planet, and thoughts of Mars on the horizon. With 2/3 of the year behind us, what’s over the next riddle?

Because we have so much data, so much information, and so many avenues of support, do we make the home purchase process too much of a “thing”? Having lived in our current home for 33 years, let me share some of my experience. First, decide how your home is going to be used. Second, how long is it going to be used in this manner? Lastly, if it is going to be used for less than three years, explore renting. If you can’t logically envision a 5 years window of use, don’t be a buyer, be a renter. Enough for economic sense.

However, A home is not about economic sense. It serves as a homebase of security for not just you, but also your family. This is why the socio-economic event of home ownership becomes less of a science project and more of an emotional tie to everything in your past. The Straw House, The House of Twigs, and the Brick House; the outside world can huff and puff and try to blow your life to pieces, but the security of that home is without a doubt very comforting.

With all that said, let’s look at last week’s numbers for SFRs in the Denver Metro MLS System over the last 7 days.

I am eager to report the Total Active Listing Data now!

Wow! With just 10,431 Total Active SFRs in the Denver Metro MLS, this is the lowest confirmed number I’ve reported in at Least 4 months. From the Chart above, you can see the “rounding off at the top,” which gives me great hope for a move toward balance.

So, let’s all get out there an enjoy what’s left of summer, what fall has to offer and a holiday season to never forget…

Remember, the market is much more complicated than I present on a weekly basis. Inventory in your enclave, new construction down the street, and dynamic change in your zip code reinforce the difficulty of predicting this market. We are here for you to lean on. Do not hesitate to contact us.
