Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell a House?
If you’re asking, “Is now a good time to buy a house in Denver?” you’re not alone. In my honest opinion, the answer to this question is different for every single individual, and there is no “perfect or right time” to buy. Why? Because we are all at different points of our lives, have different goals, and different budgets.
Buyers and sellers across Denver and Denver Metro are watching prices, interest rates and monthly payments very closely.
As a top performing Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, I help clients make sense of this market every day, not just by reading headlines, but by looking at real numbers in our Southeast Metro neighborhoods.
What Today’s Market Means for Buyers?
For many buyers, the real question is:
“Can I afford the home and payment I actually want?”
In much of the Denver metro, including Aurora, Centennial, Lone Tree and Parker:
- Inventory is higher than a few years ago
- Buyers often have more room to negotiate on price and closing costs
- Rate buydowns and concessions can make monthly payments more manageable
If you’re flexible on timing and neighborhood, this can be a strong opportunity to buy the right home, not just any home.
What Today’s Market Means for Sellers?
If you’re thinking about selling, you might be wondering if you “missed the peak.”
In reality, well priced, well presented homes in Aurora, Centennial, Parker and Lone Tree are still selling especially when:
- Pricing is based on current local data, not last year’s numbers
- The home is marketed with professional photos, video and online exposure
- Your agent understands how to negotiate with payment sensitive buyers
The right strategy can protect your equity and help you move on your timeline.
