MONDAY MARKET MOMENT ~
The greater Denver Metro real estate market overall, which includes Boulder County, is in a healthy neutral state, according to recent research by Zillow. The goal of their market heat index is to indicate the balance of demand for homes and supply of homes in a given market. The article shows the top 10 buyers markets and top 10 sellers markets and you can change regions to evaluate dozens of other US metro areas.

The Denver metro area's market temperature index is 47.6, meaning there is a health balance of buyers and sellers. (50 is completely neutral) The current market is the most favorable to buyers during the period of the study going back to 2018. The Zillow Home Value Forecast predicts relatively flat growth at -0.9% through August 2025.

The peak seller's market was in Jan-Feb 2022 with an index of 120.1. This time period was one of intense frustration for buyers that competed with multiple buyers on virtually every home for sale in the market.

ADVICE FOR BUYERS: It sounds cliche to say "it's a great time to buy" but that really is true at this moment. Median and average prices dropped year over year in 6 out of 10 Boulder Couny areas, while inventory overall continues to increase. Generally there are fewer buyers in the market in the months after school starts in the fall, and before spring break, so it's a much less competitive time to be in the market.
