Colorado housing inventory surged in 2025, but the pace of growth has slowed sharply over the past year.

Colorado housing inventory is still rising — but the pace of that increase is slowing.

From February 2024 to February 2025, inventory jumped 44%, a major shift that pushed the market toward buyers.

But the most recent numbers show a different pace.

From February 2025 to February 2026, inventory increased 17% — still growing, but far more slowly. That deceleration suggests the supply surge that defined much of 2025 may be stabilizing.

For sellers, this could mean slightly better listing conditions compared with last year. Slower inventory growth means new listings may face less competition.

For buyers, more homes are still available than a few years ago — but the window of maximum negotiating leverage may not last forever.

If inventory growth continues slowing through spring, Denver could shift toward a more balanced housing market in 2026.
