Warming Up to Selling in Winter – Part 1

Is Winter a Good Time to Sell Your Home in Denver? It can definitely be! Here’s Why.

  Winter buyers are often serious. They’re usually on tight deadlines, like starting a new job, so they’re ready to make offers—not just browsing. Less competition also works in your favor. With fewer homes on the market, yours stands out, and buyers may be more motivated to make strong offers.

A huge part is working with a Realtor who understands the market and knows how to make the season work for you. I’m Rogelio Rodriguez with Vida Properties at eXp Realty, and in this article I want to share some key things to keep in mind about selling in winter, especially here in the Denver metro area.

Why Selling in Winter Can Work in Your Favor

Winter buyers are often serious. They’re usually on tight deadlines, like starting a new job, so they’re ready to make offers—not just browsing. Less competition also works in your favor. With fewer homes on the market, yours stands out, and buyers may be more motivated to make strong offers.

And here’s some good news: Denver’s home prices stay strong year-round. While spring and summer dominate headlines, homes sell all year here. With the right strategy, winter can deliver a great sale.

New builder lenders have the best rates! Let’s look at these homes. 

Challenges of Selling in Winter

Sure, snow and cold can make showings trickier, but a cozy, inviting home with clear walkways makes a great impression. Winter also shifts focus indoors, so we’ll showcase features like fireplaces, natural light, and warm spaces that appeal to buyers.

How I Can Help

I always say that selling a home is about finding the right buyer, not just any buyer. Winter might be the right time if you need to sell quickly, but if you have more flexibility, I’ll make sure you’re fully informed so you can decide if this season is the best fit. I take pride in making sure my clients never feel rushed. My job is to walk you through every step, provide all the info you need, and help you decide when the time is right.

When you do decide to list, we’ll build a plan that works. We’ll look at the market, comps for sale, see where interest rates are, and use the latest data to make sure your pricing is just right for winter. I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes here for almost 20 years, so I know how to use the season to our advantage.

Working with Other Agents to Help You Move Smoothly
If you’re selling here but moving to a different part of Colorado or even another state, you don’t have to worry. Through eXp Realty, I work with a network of agents all over the US and internationally. We make sure your move is smooth, whether you’re buying another home or finding a rental. And winter can sometimes mean you’ll find better deals as a buyer too, so we’ll help you look at options on both sides of your move.

Let’s Talk About Your Plans
If you’re considering selling this winter, let’s talk about your plans and what you want to achieve. There’s no rush and no pressure – we’ll just have a conversation to see what’s possible for you. And if you’re curious about what your home is worth right now, you can start with a free market update.


Selling in winter isn’t for everyone, but with the right plan, it can be a smart move. N

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.
