What I am seeing on the ground
I have worked this market since 1999, and June was a steady month. The median closed price held at $614,000, up only 1 percent from last June, and 4,024 homes closed, even with a year ago. After a spring where fewer owners listed, the market settled into a calmer summer rhythm without giving back any ground on price. Gross sales volume across the metro even edged up 1 percent from last year.
The number I kept an eye on was days in MLS, which moved to 19, three days longer than May. Buyers took a little more time to decide, and that is a normal shift as summer starts, not a sign of a market losing its footing. Pending sales came in at 3,867, up 2 percent from last June, so buyers stayed active even with new listings down 3 percent. Fewer homes came up, and the ones priced right still found contracts.
Around Littleton, Ken Caryl, and 80127, the split I have watched all year held into June. A home priced to the last 90 days of closed sales, and shown in good shape, drew real interest in the first week. A home priced to a hopeful number from two summers ago sat, and then the price came down. That was true across 80123, 80127, and 80128, and the few extra days on market metro-wide did not change it.
For buyers
With new listings still running below last year, the work is being ready when the right home shows up. You have more room to be deliberate than buyers had two years ago, just not on the best-priced homes in the strongest zip codes. You can see what has come on the market this week on my current listings page.
Three things to know:
- Your mortgage rate moves your monthly payment more than a small change in list price does. Sit down with a lender and look at a real payment at three or four price points before you fall for one address.
- The median is firm at $614,000, not climbing fast, so you have time to make a sound decision. When a well-priced home comes up in 80127, be ready to move, but keep your offer anchored to the comps rather than to a fear of missing out.
- Nineteen days is the metro median, and the best homes go faster than that. If a listing has been sitting well past three weeks, ask what the seller will not fix and price that into your offer.
For sellers
Fewer owners have listed this year, which means less direct competition for a home that shows well. That is an opening. It works only when the price is right from day one, because a 19-day median means buyers move on fair value and skip past wishful pricing. If you want a number for your own home instead of a metro median, start with a home valuation.
Three things to know:
- Recent closed comps in your own zip code set your price, not the highest list number you remember seeing. Buyers and their agents are reading the last 90 days of sales.
- Your first two weeks on market decide whether you get a fair-market offer or become the listing that chases the price down. Price for the market in front of you.
- Presentation earns the offer. Clean photos, light staging, and a walk-through with nothing to apologize for separate week-one interest from a week-three reduction.
