The holiday season is here—a time for reflection, gratitude, and the warmth of home. While many are focused on decking the halls and enjoying cherished traditions, the Denver Metro and Front Range real estate markets quietly present a unique opportunity for those considering a move. If you’re dreaming of starting the new year in a new home or preparing to sell and begin a fresh chapter, the quieter holiday market may be just what you need.
Front Range Market Snapshots
Here’s what’s happening in the market right now:
• Active Listings: Inventory is up 39.29% compared to this time last year, giving buyers
more options than previous holiday seasons.
• Median Price: Up 3.05% year-over-year, showing steady value growth in the market.
• Days on Market: Homes take an average of 29 days to sell, offering buyers more breathing room to make decisions.
• Sale-to-List Price: Sellers are still securing 98.51% of their asking price on average—a sign of balanced conditions.
Why Now Could Be the Right Time
The holidays might not seem like the obvious choice for buying or selling a home, but there are hidden advantages for those willing to embrace the season:
• For Buyers: You can beat the spring rush and avoid the competitive frenzy that typically arrives with warmer weather. With motivated sellers and more time to evaluate your options, you could find the perfect place to call home.
• For Sellers: Use this time to get your home ready for the market, whether that means taking care of deferred maintenance or adding a few seasonal touches to create a welcoming atmosphere.
A Time for Gratitude and Family
December isn’t just about numbers and transactions—it’s about what home really means. It’s the place where family gathers, memories are made, and traditions come alive. Whether you’re moving into your first home, upgrading for more space, or downsizing to something cozier, the holiday season is a reminder of the joy and comfort a home provides.

Looking Ahead
As we wrap up 2024, I’m reminded of how much there is to be grateful for: the opportunity to guide families toward finding their perfect home, the trust you’ve placed in me, and the community we share. If moving is part of your plans, I’d be honored to help you navigate the journey. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
