The Denver housing market is picking up earlier than usual in 2026, with inventory and demand rising significantly in February and March. Experts describe the market as 'unpredictably predictable' due to fluctuating rates, economic uncertainty, and global events. The 'lock-in effect' is causing homeowners to hold onto their low-interest rates, limiting supply. Homeowners associations (HOAs) are also playing a significant role in Colorado, with 43% of occupied homes in community associations. Buyers and sellers should be aware of these factors when making decisions.
