There’s a lot of noise out there about what’s next for the housing market. Zillow’s 2025 forecast made headlines across the country, but if you’re planning to buy or sell in Colorado, what you need is local perspective, not just national predictions. I want to take a moment to break down how these trends are showing up in our market and how I’m helping my clients make smart, confident decisions right now.
Zillow Says Home Prices Will Continue to Rise, But Not Evenly
Nationally, prices are expected to rise more moderately than in recent years. That’s true in Colorado as well, but I’m seeing a split. In some communities, especially lifestyle-driven areas with limited inventory, prices are holding strong and even climbing. In others, where there’s more new construction or investor-owned properties, we’re seeing more room for negotiation.
If you’re buying, this means being strategic about where and when to make your move. If you’re selling, it means pricing with precision and preparing your home to compete. I help with both, personally reviewing every option and detail so my clients stay ahead of the curve.
Inventory Is Growing, But Still Not Meeting Demand
Zillow’s forecast points to an increase in inventory, which we are definitely seeing here across Colorado. But more homes on the market doesn’t automatically shift the advantage to buyers. In many areas, demand is still strong, especially for move-in-ready homes with thoughtful updates.
The key is knowing how to move quickly when the right home hits the market or how to make your property stand out when it’s time to list. I guide my clients through that process with preparation, insight, and a strategy tailored to today’s conditions.
Interest Rates Are Stabilizing, and That Matters
Rates may not be dropping dramatically, but they are beginning to level off. That stability brings more predictability, which helps both buyers and sellers feel confident moving forward. For buyers, it means being able to plan more effectively. For sellers, it often results in stronger offers from qualified buyers who are ready to act.
More important than the rate itself is how you’re positioned in the market. I work closely with trusted lenders and mortgage advisors to make sure my clients are aligned with the best possible options for their goals.
Now Might Be the Right Time, Depending on Your Goals
Every client’s situation is unique. Some are upsizing, some are relocating, and some are making their very first move. My job is to help you determine whether the timing is right and, if so, to move forward with a clear and confident plan.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling this year, let’s talk about how these market trends apply to your specific needs. Together we can create a plan based on real data and real experience, not just market headlines.
Let’s Make a Smart Move Together
My clients trust me to manage the entire process with care, transparency, and attention to detail. From pricing and presentation to negotiation and closing, I handle everything with the level of service I would expect for my own family. If you want to work with someone who knows the Colorado market inside and out and consistently delivers results, I’d love to connect.
