If you were trying to buy a home in Denver or the foothills just a couple of years ago, you probably remember how wild it felt. Homes in Arvada, Littleton, Evergreen, and all across the metro were listed one day and gone the next—sometimes within hours. Buyers had to drop everything to see a property, and if you hesitated even a little, it was already under contract—often with multiple offers or sight-unseen buyers.
That kind of market frenzy pushed a lot of local buyers to the sidelines. But here’s the good news: things have changed. Today’s market is moving at a more manageable pace, giving Colorado buyers a real chance to breathe and explore their options again.
That said, the window of opportunity may not stay open for long. With the Fed meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the buzz is all about a potential rate cut ahead. If mortgage rates dip, we could see the floodgates open as more buyers rush back into the market. Being proactive now—before demand spikes again—can put you in a far stronger position than waiting and competing later.
