Blog > Colorado’s Housing Market Isn’t Crashing—It’s Catching Its Breath
Let’s rewind to a few years ago. Buyers were showing up to open houses like it was Coachella. Sellers were naming their price and getting it—or more. And if you blinked, that house you loved was under contract.
But now? The energy’s different. And honestly, that’s a good thing.
The Colorado housing market is finally starting to breathe. According to recent stats, about 27% of listings are seeing price drops, and homes are sitting a little longer—66 days on average. That’s not a crash. That’s a pause. A reset. A shift from chaos to clarity.
What does that mean if you’re buying?
You’ve got room to think. You don’t need to write a love letter with your offer or waive every inspection just to be in the running. You can actually shop. Negotiate. Look at what fits—not just what’s available.
If you’re selling?
It means pricing strategy matters more than ever. The days of “let’s see how high we can go” are behind us. But here’s the truth: well-priced, well-prepped homes still move. They just don’t move in 48 hours with ten offers—and that’s okay.
So, what’s the takeaway?
This is a return to balance. A market where buyers and sellers both get a fair shot. A time to make intentional decisions—not rushed ones.
If you’re waiting for a sign to make your move, this might be it. Not because the market is hot. But because it’s finally real again.
