In my blog last week Denver inventory surges and yet real estate prices still rise, I asked the question what are your predictions for real estate prices in 2026. Although a number of publications are predicting a huge reset in prices, the data from the survey shows a very different scenario occurring.
What was in the survey data on Denver real estate prices?
A whopping 58.33% felt that prices would remain basically unchanged for the year. The interesting part of the survey was that it was evenly split between prices rising 0-5% and prices falling 0-5%. I was also surprised that not a single respondent predicted a 5-10% rise in prices.
I personally think the predictions for Denver real estate prices are spot on with the most likely scenario basically a stuck market but also a high probability of price movements 5% either up or down with no huge movements either way.
Top Comments on Denver Real estate price predictions for 2026
The comments were pretty interesting from the survey, here are the top two that echo the general consensus:
- Sellers don’t have to sell so they can hang on and wait for the right buyer to step up to an acceptable price to the Seller.
- Rates are staying the same, don’t believe people are making many moves due to the jobs market
Will Real estate prices rise or fall in Denver this year?
The results from the last survey were surprising with not a single respondent predicting an upside surprise in Denver greater than 5%. Long and short the overwhelming majority of respondents are saying that Denver real estate prices will be either flat or rise/fall less than 5%. There is basically no short term upside in Denver so anyone buying must have a very long term horizon. Remember, there are opportunities now, but beware there are also pitfalls if you don’t know the market intimately. Thank you everyone who participated in the survey, your insights are amazing
