Denver Metro Area Weekly Market Update | October 10, 2026

Mortgage rates finally eased this week, but buyers have not responded yet. Showings fell to 10,918, the widest gap to last year since May 2023, and new contracts are running 19% behind last year, the deepest deficit since last December.

Denver Metro Area Weekly Market Update | October 3, 2026

Mortgage rates climbed for a seventh straight week, and buyers keep answering the same way: fewer tours, fewer contracts, and fewer new listings from sellers who would rather wait. Showings have now trailed last year for 13 straight weeks, pending contracts are running roughly 12% behind, and the closing data, which reflects deals struck before […]

Denver Metro Area Weekly Market Update | September 26, 2026

Mortgage rates closed the week at a level not seen since spring 2024, and the demand side of the market is the one absorbing the impact.

The Federal Reserve raised interest rates this week, the 10-year Treasury yield closed above 5% for the first time since 2007, and 30-year mortgage rates reached their highest level in nearly 20 months.

Denver Metro Area | Monthly Market Update August brought more homes to the Denver-area market and fewer buyers to see them, and, so far, no move down in price.

Denver Metro Area Weekly Market Update | September 5, 2026

Last week we told you active inventory had crossed into positive year-over-year territory for the first time since March, and this week’s headline number shows it back in a deficit.

Denver metro’s back-half-of-summer story isn’t inventory this year — it’s demand.
