🏡 Metro Denver Market Update: Maycember Madness & Memorial Day Strategy

If May had a personality, she’d be juggling graduation caps, derby hats, and BBQ tongs—and still checking the MLS between school drop-offs. Welcome to Maycember—December’s chaotic cousin in a tank top.

But in between the madness, last weekend delivered a clear message: the Denver real estate market is alive and kicking.

📊 Metro Denver Snapshot (May 14–20, 2025)

• Active Listings: 11,982 (+2.5% WoW)

• Pending Listings: 1,170 (+7.1%)

• Closed Sales: 877 (+22.4%)

• Showings: 15,828 (+26.4%)

• Median Days on Market: 18 (flat)

• Months of Inventory: 2.4 (-4.4%)

Translation? Buyers got off the sidelines, and competition heated up—especially in desirable price bands and neighborhoods. Inventory is up, but demand is sprinting right alongside it.

🧠 National Pulse: Equity Rich, Cash Poor?

Across the U.S., homeowners are sitting on a record $35 trillion in equity—even as credit card debt spikes past $1.2 trillion with 20%+ APRs. In a slowing economy, that’s a wake-up call.

Smart clients are:

• Leveraging equity to consolidate debt

• Investing in real estate upgrades or opportunities

• Talking with professionals (that’s us) about long-term strategy

If your home is your biggest asset, it deserves a bigger plan.

🎯 What to Do This Weekend

Sellers: Memorial Day weekend is historically slow—showings typically drop 40–60%. Don’t list or cut price right now. Next week is your moment.

Buyers: Want less competition at showings and maybe even more negotiation room? This is your weekend. No crowds. No rush. Let’s go shopping. (are you busy - then grab our free app )
