New year, same market? In 2024, Denver’s luxury real estate sector saw competing factors. On one hand, there were 652 more sales in this segment compared to the year before. On the other, houses sat for longer and sold for less than their list prices. And according to local realtor Andrew Abrams, a Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR) Market Trends Committee member, we can expect similar patterns in 2025.

“The market is starting with more inventory, giving buyers continued negotiation power,” Abrams says. “Assuming interest rates remain relatively steady with slight decreases throughout the year, it’s likely that most stats in 2025 will parallel those of 2024.”

Below, a handful of listings to add to your 2025 vision board, from a zen residence in West Highland to a property in Boulder that’s two steps ahead of the sustainability curve.

The versatile two-car detached garage offers additional space for storage, hobbies, or creative pursuits. A three-minute drive to Highland Square’s dining and shopping scene puts restaurants, boutiques, and a seasonal farmer’s market within easy reach.
