🏡 Colorado Real Estate Update — April 2025
This March came in like a lion — not in weather, but in buyer energy. The real estate market felt very “Spring-like” right out of the gate. Buyers were active, listings were moving, and momentum was building.
Then, the first week of April brought a twist: with a dip in the stock market, some home shoppers hit the pause button. It was a moment of hesitation — but only a moment.
The good news?
The markets have since stabilized significantly. In fact, we’re now seeing the lowest mortgage rates since April 7th, which is giving buyers more purchasing power and reigniting interest.
Here’s where things currently stand:
🏘 Inventory: We’re sitting at 3.3 months of inventory — tipping us very close to a true Buyer’s Market. More choices and room to negotiate are on the table.
🔄 Contract Fallout: Roughly 13% of homes that go under contract are coming back on the market — likely due to inspection or financing issues. That’s something both buyers and sellers need to watch closely.
📈 Market Activity:
New listings are up 25% since last month.
Closed sales are up 4%.
Average Days on Market is now 40 days before going under contract — giving buyers a bit more breathing room.
As always, I’m keeping a close eye on the numbers and how they affect you. And while my bi-monthly 5-minute ADTV “Selling Colorado” real estate segment has been a fun addition to my calendar, it hasn’t taken away from what matters most — being fully present for my clients and their referrals.
Whether you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just staying informed, I’m here to help you navigate the Colorado market with the best advice and care possible.
Warmly,
Happy New Year!
