Closed sales are down nearly 19%, active inventory remains stagnant, and overall prices are hovering within a fraction of a percent of last year.

The August 2026 data from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR) shows a metro area that refuses to be summed up in a single "good" or "bad" headline.

Dozens of festivals, light displays, and haunted attractions are scheduled across the Denver metro area this September and October.

The season runs roughly ten weeks, from Denver Oktoberfest's opening weekend on September 18 through Halloween events on October 31 and early November events, a stretch of calendar that will (with certainty) include at least one 80-degree day and one hard freeze in the same week.

You have style, and it's written all over your home. The bold wallpaper, the curated decor, the statement furniture that ties it together, it's the ultimate dream house. True for living. Not so much for selling.

While your friends marvel at how your space looks like a living Pinterest board, potential buyers are struggling to imagine their own lives in it. Cultivating a distinctive aesthetic makes for a wonderful living space, but it complicates selling a home.

There's a particular kind of chaos that comes with preparing for a backpacking trip, and a certain satisfaction that comes with completing one. The planning, the packing, and whatever the mountain decides to throw at you; that's the fun of it all. And in Colorado, the trails make every bit of it worth [...]
