Denver Real Estate Market Updates and Trends

Identifying and riding trends is key to building wealth through real estate investing. One of our goals is providing data so you know what’s going on in the Denver real estate market today and can adjust your investing plans.

Every month we publish a monthly market update as a blog post, podcast, and YouTube video to give you an executive summary on the market from an investor’s perspective. They generally cover:

  • Property prices, number of units sold, inventory level, days on market, and discounts.
  • Lending updates
  • Interesting local news articles
  • Notes from real estate conferences
  • Rental data: rent growth, vacancy, average rents, etc

In addition to our monthly updates, we’ll publish in-depth quarterly market updates for a deep dive into the data. Depending on what ‘s going on in the market, we’ll do special episodes to learn more.

My brokerage publishes quarterly trends data on the Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Northern Colorado, and Mountain Resort markets. If you want the most recent copies of those, then register for our free Denver Real Estate Investing Toolkit or reach out to us.
