Front Range Market Update — June 2026

Every few weeks I pull the latest numbers across the North Denver Front Range and compare them with what I'm actually seeing in showings, offers, and closings. Here's where things stand today.

The headline: a more balanced market

After several years of bidding wars, June 2026 is showing what a healthier market looks like. Inventory is up year-over-year across nearly every Front Range community, days on market have stretched into the 25–40 day range for most price points, and well-priced homes are still moving quickly — but buyers finally have room to breathe.

Prices by community

• Erie — Median around $725,000. Newer builds in Colliers Hill and Erie Highlands are holding value; resales in older sections of Vista Ridge are negotiating 2–4% off list.
• Lafayette — Median around $720,000. Old Town charm continues to drive premiums; anything walkable to Public Road moves fast.
• Louisville — Median around $850,000. Still the priciest of the group, with strong demand from Boulder commuters and downtown walkability lovers.
• Broomfield — Median around $700,000. Anthem and Wildgrass remain steady; Broomfield's central location keeps demand consistent.
• Longmont — Median around $610,000. The best relative value on the Front Range right now, especially for first-time buyers.

What buyers should know

• You can negotiate again — inspection items, closing costs, and rate buydowns are back on the table
• Interest rates have stabilized in the mid-6s, and lenders are competing for your business
• New construction incentives (rate buydowns, finished basements, design center credits) are the strongest I've seen in three years

What sellers should know

• Pricing on day one matters more than ever — chasing the market down costs you real money
• Pre-listing prep (paint, landscaping, staging) is paying for itself in faster sales
• Move-in ready homes still see multiple offers; tired homes sit

What I'm watching this summer

• School-year relocation demand peaks in late June and early July
• Active listings typically climb 10–15% from June to August — sellers waiting for "the right time" may find more competition
• The Fed's next move could nudge rates either direction before fall

The bottom line

This is the most workable market we've had in years for both sides. Buyers have leverage they didn't have 18 months ago. Sellers who price right and present well are still getting strong outcomes.
