Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

No, I don’t see Denver home prices crashing. We’ve cooled from the peak frenzy, but the fundamentals—jobs, lifestyle, and limited supply—point to a more balanced market with moderate adjustments, not a collapse.

Why a Crash Isn’t Likely

After 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions, I’ve navigated downturns, and this doesn’t feel like crash territory. Denver’s economy stays robust with diverse industries like tech, healthcare, and aerospace drawing people year-round. Unlike resort towns that swing with tourism, our demand is steady from families and professionals who stay put.

Inventory has risen slightly, leading to some price softening in overbuilt segments or overpriced listings, but overall supply remains tight, especially for single-family homes in desirable areas. Buyers are pickier, but serious ones are still competing for properties that check boxes like strong schools, reasonable HOAs, and good commutes.

Neighborhood-Specific Realities

In Denver proper, urban pockets near light rail or parks hold steady, while farther-flung or dated areas see more price tweaks. Littleton real estate shines with top schools and family appeal—homes there rarely plummet because parents prioritize those districts through cycles. Highlands Ranch follows suit, bolstered by rec centers, trails, and well-run HOAs that keep communities attractive even when the broader Colorado housing market wobbles.

Pricing strategy matters hugely now. Overpriced homes sit and adjust; realistic ones sell close to ask. I’ve seen this pattern repeat: corrections hit the high end or neglected properties hardest, but quality locations weather it.

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

Buyers, treat dips as opportunities but focus on long-term value—school zones, HOA quality, and resale ease over chasing “bargains.” Get pre-approved, tour actively, and negotiate inspections without fear.

Sellers, prep smartly: declutter, minor updates, and price to comps from day one. Avoid the trap of starting high and chasing down—my clients net more with transparent, data-driven launches.

I handle the details hands-on: walking homes, coordinating staging, analyzing local sales for precise pricing, and negotiating relentlessly so you capture true market value.

My clients are long-term relationships and friends, not transactions, so I prioritize integrity, honesty, and transparency in every conversation.
