The NAHREP 10: Guidelines to Success

Yes.. it’s already the end of January but don’t worry, you still have 11 months to get some good things done before 2016 turns the page. I have thought of my list and do have some specific targets in mind, but I think I needed to to think bigger. Good thing NAHREP came out with this simple document called “The NAHREP 10: Guidelines to Success” to put things into perspective. I hope you can also make use if it yourself (see image below and click to enlarge). I have been involved with NAHREP (National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals)  in one way or another for almost 10 years now. Currently, I am a member of the local board of directors and we will be rolling out some events and activities in support of the NAHREP’s Hispanic Wealth Project which is where these guidelines came from. In the words of the NAHREP Foundation, NAHREP’s 501c3 arm:
       “The Hispanic Wealth Project is a plan to build a blueprint for Hispanic wealth creation: to identify the specific assets in which Hispanic wealth can be accumulated, to support Hispanic access to such assets, to guide the stewardship of such assets, and to begin a dialogue around wealth for Hispanic communities that raises ambitions, brings focus to pursuits that may lead to greatness and embraces the tangible metrics by which Hispanic achievements can be counted.”

The principles above obviously can help anyone so be sure to share. I also hope you’ll be hearing more about the Hispanic Wealth Project. There are some things that I have already been working on for my services. Blogs are available, even searchable by topic, at www.vidabroker.com. You can also share individual blogs/posts/articles via social media and write your own comments.  There is always more to come.
As always, I can assist you with your real estate needs. Just email at rogelio@vidabroker.com or call/text 720-253-8513.

As we settle into spring 2025, Denver’s real estate market is revealing some critical shifts. Whether you’re buying your first home or preparing to sell a property you’ve outgrown, understanding the market’s current temperature—especially through the lens of months-of-supply—can help you move with clarity and confidence.


📊 What Is Months-of-Supply?

Months-of-supply tells us how many months it would take to sell all current homes on the market at today’s pace, assuming no new listings come in. It’s one of the best ways to gauge whether buyers or sellers have the upper hand:

  • 0–4 months: Seller’s market
  • 4–6 months: Balanced market
  • 6+ months: Buyer’s market

📍 What’s Happening in Denver?

Denver currently has a 3.1-month supply, nudging close to a balanced market. While still favoring sellers slightly, inventory is rising fast—up 11.2% year-over-year and a striking 70.6% above 2019 levels. New listings also rose by 18.1% over the past year, though still slightly below pre-pandemic levels.

Now here’s a key point: closed sales in April 2025 were down 3.2% from last year. Fewer completed transactions suggest that buyer activity is cooling even as more homes hit the market. This shift reflects growing caution among buyers, likely tied to higher mortgage rates and affordability pressures.

In simple terms: we’re seeing more homes for sale, fewer homes being sold, and slightly longer time on market. This is a clear signal that the market is transitioning—and that timing, strategy, and pricing are more important than ever.


🏙️ Comparing Other Cities

Miami Area7.8 months of supply

Buyer’s market with inventory up 37.5%, but closed sales flat. Homes are sitting.

Austin, TX5.4 months

Moving toward balance. Listings up 19.7%, but also seeing a slowdown in closed deals.

Phoenix, AZ3.6 months

Still seller-friendly, but inventory has surged 54.6%. Like Denver, the pace is slowing.

In comparison, Denver’s sharp inventory rise paired with declining closings indicates one thing: competition is heating up—especially for sellers.

🤝 Buyers: Opportunity Is Knocking

  • More Inventory = More Choice

  • Stronger Negotiation Power: Fewer bidding wars, more room to talk terms.

  • Act Smart, Not Fast: It’s not about “the deal”—it’s about the right deal.


💼 Sellers: Stay Strategic

  • Price It Right: With fewer sales happening, homes that are overpriced are sitting.

  • Presentation Wins: You’ll stand out when your home is clean, staged, and easy to show.

  • Act Now While It’s Still a Seller’s Market: We’re on the edge—waiting could cost you.
