December’s Market News and Usaj Review
December 2025 Denver Real Estate Market Update: Regular Resting Period
December has consistently been one of the slowest months for real estate across the country consistently throughout the years. This past month was no different, with the holidays, travel, weird weather, and many more distractions. While these winter months are slower, there are always motivated buyers and sellers who would love to move before the weather warms.
Key Market Highlights – December 2025
Home Prices Hold Steady
The median close price in the Denver Metro area came in at $575,000, a 0.86% dip from November, but increasingly level for 2025. The overall trend for this past year has been a steady return to the housing market pre-COVID.
More Homes Sitting on the Market (Tis the Season!)
Active listings dropped to 7,607, down 27.59% from November—with a year-over-year increase of 10.44%. Fewer sellers list during the holiday season, and many temporarily pause their listings to return in the new year or spring. This natural decrease is one we have seen in the market before, and there’s nothing to indicate a drop in demand.
Sales Slow Down Heading Into Winter
Closed sales totaled 3,101, which is up month-over-month indicating a strong close to the 2025 season. Buyers are busy, sellers are traveling, and everyone is juggling holiday plans — yet the market remains active enough to show healthy movement.
Homes Are Taking a Little Longer to Sell
The median days in MLS increased slightly to 45 days, up 25% from November. For buyers, this means a bit more breathing room. For sellers, it’s an opportunity to price strategically and make sure the home shows its best.
Listing Prices are down 0.66% Percent from Last Year
- In December 2025, the average residence sold for $678,718
- The average single-family home sold for $748,898

What This Means for You
Taking into consideration the shift we saw in COVID through now, these numbers reflect true stability. Prices are holding, and buyers are enthusiastically touring homes and are eager to purchase the right one, with some pre-planning for a spring 2026 purchase. It’s never too early to prepare for a move!
