Summer 2022: Denver Housing Market Update

This past year, the Denver market has been in flux. However, in the past month or so, we have seen headlines foreshadowing doom and gloom. These headlines, although scary, don’t predict the true nature of Denver’s market.

The buyer frenzy last year was driven by many factors, including historically low mortgage rates, and newly acquired locational freedoms brought about by COVID work-from-home policies.
