Is the Denver Housing Market Crashing? Here’s the Truth

Every few weeks, someone asks me the same question: “Do you think the market is going to crash?”

Honestly? It’s not the first time I’ve heard it — and it won’t be the last.

But here’s the real story: the market isn’t crashing. It’s correcting.

And while that might sound boring, it’s actually very healthy and very normal. Real estate has always moved in cycles — just like watching the Twilight Saga for the 456th time. Predictable, familiar, and maybe a little dramatic if you only watch the trailers.

Here’s what else is true right now in Denver Metro:

Homes are still selling

People are buying and selling every single day. In fact, some of my recent clients have gone from “just curious” to “under contract” faster than they expected. (Check out my Under Contract to Home blog for a peek at what that journey looks like.)

Rates aren’t forever

Yes, rates have been the headline of the year — but they aren’t a forever thing. If you find the right home, you can always refinance later. The bigger opportunity is locking in the lifestyle you actually want now.

The right time is about YOU

Forget the noise. The “perfect” time has less to do with market headlines and more to do with your own goals, budget, and timeline. For some of my clients, that means waiting. For others, it means making moves this fall.
