Quick Tip We're Repeating a Lot: If you’re considering a move in 2026, starting the conversation now is one of the best ways to navigate a shifting market with confidence.
One Number That Matters: 36.6%. The number of closed sales jumped 36.6% from January, indicating more buyers are stepping back into the market, which we typically see this time of year as activity builds heading into spring.
New Local Spot We Love: Café Tres. The brick-and-mortar location officially opened earlier in the year, and we couldn’t be more excited. Located on the corner of the park where River and Roads used to be, Café Tres specializes in pastelitos and Cuban espresso. If you haven’t already stopped by, you should add this to your list ASAP!

Denver Metro Area: Market Report
As is common for this time of year, February’s market showed a meaningful month-over-month pickup in momentum across almost every metric. Most notably, the number of homes sold increased by 36.6% compared to January, and pending listings jumped by 29.4%. Average days on market fell by 19.4% month-over-month, and prices edged up slightly from January, though they were down 3.5% year-over-year.
Every year since 2022, the gap between the number of sellers selling and the number of buyers buying has gotten wider. Conditions haven't been this favorable for buyers in over a decade. Still, things can vary a lot based upon your neighborhood, property type, and price point. Some pockets of the market are much hotter than others, and our award-winning team can help you devise a strategy that will ensure that your goals are achieved when navigating these complex market conditions.
