Why Planning Ahead Matters
Denver’s housing market is shifting. After years of ultra-low inventory and fast sales, 2025 saw a major reset. Listings are up. Price cuts are more common. Homes are taking longer to sell.
But here’s the opportunity: most homeowners don’t prepare until the last minute. If you’re even thinking about selling in the spring, starting now gives you time to make smart, targeted updates that increase your home's value and avoid competing with a flood of rushed listings.
What’s Changing in the Market?
Inventory is climbing: More homes are coming to market, giving buyers more options.
Buyer power is rising: Homes that aren’t priced right or move-in ready are sitting longer.
Prices are soft but stable: Most forecasts call for modest appreciation in 2026. Nothing dramatic, but steady if you price wisely.
Well-prepped homes still shine: Turnkey homes are selling faster and for stronger offers, even in a slower market.
In short, it’s not 2021 anymore. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad time to sell. It just means you need a real plan.
How to Win in a Spring 2026 Sale
Here’s how sellers are setting themselves up for success:
Start early: Walk your property now and tackle low-cost upgrades before winter hits.
Time your launch: Early spring (March–April) often sees a surge in buyer activity.
Work with a pro: Don’t rely on old comps. This market demands real-time pricing and strategy.
Leverage pre-listing prep: From staging to photography, first impressions are everything.
