Denver Listings Drop 41% (Warning Signs Ahead?)
The November 2024 Colorado Market Updates show Denver new listings plunging 41% as the rental market softens. Local experts reveal what these shifts mean for real estate investors in 2025.

Want to know why Denver’s housing market just saw its biggest monthly drop in new listings this year? November brought a shocking 41% plunge in Denver’s housing inventory, while Colorado Springs wasn’t far behind with a 36% decrease. But the real story isn’t just about vanishing listings.

Denver Real Estate Investing Podcast Host Chris Lopez sat down with a panel of Colorado real estate experts including Brandon Scholten from Keyrenter Property Management Denver, lender Troy Howell from Nova Home Loans, broker Jeff White, and Colorado Springs expert Jenny Bayless. Together they uncovered some surprising trends that paint a clearer picture of what’s really happening in our market.

Their findings? While home prices in Denver climbed nearly 5% to $706,000, the rental market is showing concerning signs. Property managers are reporting unprecedented increases in late payments, rising lease breaks, and some properties requiring 20% rent reductions to attract tenants. Even luxury apartment buildings are now offering up to two months of free rent to fill units.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. The panel revealed exciting developments like the first office-to-residential conversion project launching in Denver since the pandemic, with 10 similar projects awarded tax credits to create 1,169 new units across Colorado. Plus, they shared insider tips on winter buying opportunities and emerging strategies like medium-term rentals that savvy investors are using to optimize returns.

Join us for this in-depth market analysis as we explore what these trends mean for Colorado real estate investors heading into 2025. Our expert panel breaks down the latest data, shares real-world examples from their portfolios, and provides actionable insights for navigating today’s market conditions.
