Denver housing market takes an early holiday
Metro Denver’s housing market usually slows around the holidays, and for the second year in a row, November experienced a big drop in both new listings and sales, according to a monthly update from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.
Sellers put 2,620 homes on the market last month, which is 41.4% fewer than the 4,470 listed in October. For the year, new listings are down 4.6%. A year ago, the monthly drop was almost identical at 41.5%, with the annual change up 1%.
Buyers also continue to hold back. Closings fell 23.4% month-over-month and are down 13.2% year-over-year in November. That contrasts with monthly declines of around 16% the prior two Novembers.
With new listings down more than sales, the inventory of homes and condos on the market fell 15.9% in November to 10,506. The inventory remains up 12.8% from the same month a year ago.
Rather than viewing the soft numbers as signs of a breakdown, they should be looked at as a market taking its normal seasonal break, according to comments included in the report.
“It’s not that sellers don’t desire to sell their current home and move, it’s that they don’t desire to part with a low APR rate on their current mortgage and trade it for a rate that could be three to four times higher,” said Susan Thayer, a member of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and an area Realtor, in comments included with the report.
Likewise, it isn’t that homebuyers don’t trust the homebuying process as much as they may not trust the state of the economy.
“Sellers who desire to sell and price their homes accordingly will find there are still plenty of buyers out there – even in the top price range of our market,” Thayer said.
Listings took a median of 36 days on the market in November, up from 28 days a year earlier. But attracting a buyer in today’s market is only half the battle. Close to 17% of sellers in Denver had a pending sales contract fall through in October, according to the real estate firm Redfin. That is above the U.S. average of 15.1%, and sits between San Diego and Phoenix in the rankings.
Aside from uncertainty, buyers may also be sensing that a long-awaited pivot in home prices might be underway. The median price of a single-family home that sold in November was $640,000, down 1.5% from November and up 0.8% from a year earlier.
A reversal is more evident in condo and townhome prices, which are down 2% on the month and 7.3% on the year to $380,000. Higher HOA fees and more borrowing restrictions have made attached properties less appealing, even though they are more affordable on the surface.
Combine the drop in sales and the mix of homes sold, and November’s sales volume was down 25.6% from October and 11.3% a year earlier.
The slowing seen in Denver is happening in many other places. The annualized rate of existing home sales in the U.S. was 4.1 million in October, close to September’s rate of 4.05 million.
“For some perspective, this is the same activity level that prevailed in October 2008 during the middle of the Housing Bust and a month after Lehman Brothers collapsed. It’s about 20% lower than the worst month in 2001 during the dotcom bust, and light years away from the 2021 peak of 6.6 million,” noted Elliot Eisenberg, with Econ 70, who will be providing an economic forecast to DMAR next month, in an email.
Eisenberg also notes that the share of the U.S. population who considered themselves as middle class has fallen from 85% a decade ago to 54% today. More than 40% of people now consider themselves as lower or working class.
“This suggests that a very large and growing section of society no longer sees themselves as upwardly mobile and sees the finer things as increasingly out of reach,” he said.

Timothy Weil Obituary | The Denver Post
Timothy Weil
OBITUARY
Timothy Robert Weil 1952-2026 Tim Weil was born in Los Angeles, California.
In his early life he held many jobs, but he often commented that among his most memorable and rewarding roles was using his Spanish fluency to teach elementary school students in East LA. It instilled in him the importance of social justice which he in turn emphasized to his children.
On April Fool’s Day, 1981, he and “NC” (Nancy) married, a partnership that launched a unique and fulfilling life. Theirs was a union of sly, poetic witticism; they collaborated in writing jokes, songs, stories, and mythologies for over four decades. They maintained a high level commitment to wordplay and the celebration of silliness for most of their marriage. Tim and Nancy lived together in Boulder, CO, Chico, CA, Alexandria, VA, and Takoma Park, MD, before finally landing back in Denver as empty-nesters.
Tim found community in many places: Taking on a role as Assistant Scoutmaster with Page and Louis’ Boy Scout troop in Takoma Park; crafting an award-winning beer with his homebrewing group; staying in the game of baseball in the Ponce de Leon (over 50) league; playing bluegrass and folk music with other enthusiasts; performing stories with creatives at Denver venues; and joining Jewish congregations Temple Shalom in Maryland, and Temple Micah in Denver.
Tim’s creativity and playfulness were among his most defining features. Nothing was brighter than the gleam in his eye when he prepared to tell a joke, with a setup spanning about ten minutes of vivid details, often ending in a personalized, spectacularly delivered pun of his own design. To label those jokes mere “groaners” would be a disservice to his masterful storytelling. A piece he submitted to Rolling Stone about his jocular parasocial relationship with actor Lou Ferrigno received a personal rejection letter, noted as “very interesting” by the editor.
His professional work in the field of network security computing provided an outlet for his intellect as well as many professional and personal relationships throughout a career that spanned over 30 years. His writing was published in IEEE magazine and other tech journals.
Throughout his life he engaged deeply with visual art, literature, film, and music. He traveled far and wide, including to Jerusalem, Rio de Janeiro, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Vancouver, Seoul, Paris, Ipswich, London, and Edinburgh.
His recent struggle with severe depression was devastating for him and those close to him. It robbed him of his light and kept him in isolation from which sadly he was unable to escape. He will be remembered as the person who, despite the pain he carried, led an incredibly full life and touched the hearts of countless people with his witty humor and warmth.
He is survived by Nancy, his wife of 45 years, sons Page and Louis, daughter-in-law Jessica, grandsons Felix and Calvin, and cats Shackleton and Whiskey, along with many family and friends coast to coast.
A celebration of his life will be held in Denver at 1pm on Sunday, May 17th at Temple Micah, 1980 Dahlia Street. Bring your fondest memories of Tim. Please, no gifts or flowers. If you would like to make a donation in his memory, please consider American Foundation for Suicide Prevention https://afsp.org/.
