Downtown Denver Condo Update Real talk, and real opportunity HOAs, insurance, pricing, and how buyers and sellers can still win this fall. Happy Saturday! If you've been watching downtown Denver condos lately, you've probably noticed the conversation has changed.

The September condo and townhome median was $365,500, down 6.28% from a year ago. The Colorado Association of REALTORS paints a similar picture for the seven-county metro: 6.4 ...

  Denver Sellers · Fall 2026 Higher rates and more competition are real. So are the smart, creative ways to help your home stand out. Happy Sunday! If you’ve got your home on the market right now (or you’ve been thinking about it), there’s a good chance this fall feels a little heavier than you expected. Fewer showings than your neighbor got two years ago. Feedback that says “nice home, but…” Maybe even a quiet voice wondering if you should have waited. I want to talk about that, plainly.

Inventory usually tapers off in the fourth quarter, and some sellers pull their homes off the market for the holidays. That slowdown isn’t all bad news. The buyers still out looking...

Here's a lifestyle tour of fourteen central neighborhoods, grouped by feel, with the numbers I can stand behind. 1. The big picture right now Metro-wide, the Denver Metro Association of Realtors reported that September home sales fell about 21% from a year earlier, the lowest September total in its records going back to 2008. Active listings ended the month at 13,567, roughly 4.8 months of inventory, and homes sold for about 98.5% of list price with a median of 32 days on market.
