There is a much larger supply of homes for sale across La Plata County than in the past few years: a 7.7-month supply of single-family homes (+15% YOY) and an 8.8-month supply of condos and townhomes (+28% YOY) in the county overall. Even in in-town Durango, where inventory is usually slimmest for single-family homes, there is 4.1 months' supply, up 41% YOY. Rural Bayfield has 100% more inventory YOY.

Despite a strong first half of the year in Durango and La Plata County, sales have again remained down in September, as they have been since July. With rates increasing and the economy stagnating, it’s not looking like it will turn around before the end of the year. The boost of early-in-the-year sales kept totals in La Plata County ahead of 2025 through September, but we will soon fall behind.

More remote areas of our county show very little activity in September. Vallecito Lake had 0 sales, the town of Ignacio had 0 sales, rural Bayfield is -47% in the number of sales YOY; the entirety of San Juan County north of La Plata, including the town of Silverton, had one single-family and 0 condo sales.

Last week saw an increase in the number of homes sold. It isn't coincidental that the last week of the month always tends to be the busiest. Why? Buyers with mortgages will tend to time their closing to avoid the first payment as long as possible-buying at months end does just that.

How seasonal are our local markets? While we see our peak activity in the summer and fall, the only true slow times are generally from mid-November through early January. Our markets tend to be dynamic, and every year has a different ebb and flow to it for a number of reasons.

For the last two weeks, our region has had the same amount of pending contracts as we saw in July-a steady number. Hopefully we continue to see this through the fall. Call us with your real estate market questions!

So incredibly grateful to my sellers for trusting me to help them sell their home. 🏡❤️

Selling a home is such a meaningful chapter, and I’m honored they chose me to be part of their journey. I truly love what I do, and getting to work with wonderful people is what makes it so special.

Thank you for your trust, support, and allowing me to help you begin this next chapter. I’m so thankful for you! ✨🔑

Looking at pending contracts, we won’t hold out hope for a bump of sales in September, as is sometimes the case. Rate increases made that possibility almost impossible. While 2026 shouldn’t end much lower in number or price than 2025, the balance of the market has shifted quite a bit over the year from Seller to Buyer.

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such amazing sellers. From start to finish, they were wonderful to work with, and I truly appreciate the trust they placed in me throughout the process.

Selling a home is more than a transaction; it’s the closing of one chapter and the beginning of something new. I’m honored they allowed me to be part of their journey, and I’ll always be thankful for the experience we shared.

Congratulations on this exciting new chapter! 🥂🔑 Wishing you nothing but happiness, success, and wonderful memories ahead.

As much as our for-sale inventory is continuing to climb in 2026, it is still below the number of homes on the market pre-COVID. In La Plata County, current active inventory is 25% lower than in the summer of 2019.
