If the Denver Foothills have been calling, this is one of those rare moments that’s easy to miss — but tough to beat.

Inventory across the Front Range is up over 40%, giving buyers more choices than we’ve seen in years. At the same time, nearly 1 in 3 homes are sitting on the market for over a month, a clear sign that buyer activity is cooling. This shift opens the door for more favorable negotiations: below-asking offers, seller concessions, and mortgage rate buy-downs are increasingly on the table.

Active Listings vs. Sales — inventory is rising sharply while closed sales lag behind.

We’re in a market where buyers can secure foothills properties with built-in equity potential — before conditions stabilize and competition heats back up. While list prices remain near 2023–2024 levels, many sales are closing below asking, a trend that hasn’t yet fully registered in market statistics.

Inventory vs. Months of Supply — months of inventory are climbing, signaling a shift to a more buyer-friendly market.
When confidence returns and rates drop, today’s values may feel like yesterday’s missed opportunity.

The foothills lifestyle offers what many are seeking: space, nature, and freedom to explore just outside your door. And with days on market climbing steadily, sellers are becoming more negotiable — a rare edge for buyers in the Colorado foothills.

Days on Market vs. Sales — homes are staying on the market longer, while sales volume is trending downward.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this could be it — a unique window to buy smart, breathe deep, and begin your next chapter.

Let’s cut through the noise and talk strategy — this market shift may be the moment that changes everything.
