Quick one from this week's numbers: while a lot of the metro cooled off, Centennial actually got a little hotter. Homes there are going under contract in about 35 days, the fastest in my latest data.

And yet, more than half of sellers there have still trimmed their price at some point. Both can be true. The homes priced right are moving quickly; the ones that started too high are still sitting.

If you are thinking about selling in a fast pocket like this, the lesson is simple: start at the right number, and you will not be one of the ones cutting later.

What is one thing your next home would need that your current one doesn't?

06/29/2026

Denver homes for sale, by the numbers.

Almost half of single-family sellers have already cut their price and there are more homes on the market than at any area I track. For a move-up family or someone looking for a bigger home that is not a warning, it is room!

Comment or DM Buyer and I will walk you through the numbers.

I recently closed a 1974 home here in Centennial that sold as-is to an investor for $580,000. A lot of people see a deal like that and assume the investor is about to make a killing. So I ran the full numbers on it.

Once you renovate that home (figure $150,000 to $200,000), the updated value lands somewhere around $840,000 to $868,000. Sounds like a huge win. But then you add the renovation, the months of holding it, and the roughly 7% it costs to sell on the other end. After all of that, the projected profit runs anywhere from a small loss to about $59,000, with a realistic middle closer to $12,000.

That is a thin margin for the risk involved, and it is the whole reason the home sold at $580,000 and not more.

Why does this matter to you? If you own an older or dated home and have ever wondered whether to update it first or just sell as-is, this is exactly the kind of math I walk people through, with no pressure. Sometimes as-is is the smart move, sometimes it is not.

Ever been curious what your home is worth as-is versus fully updated? Ask away in the comments.

Every week somebody asks me why homes in Monument seem to sit longer than the ones up in the Denver suburbs. Fair question, and the answer says a lot about whether the move south is right for you.

Monument is acreage country. Bigger lots, larger homes, often a few acres with room for a shop, a barn, or just space between you and the next house. Homes like that take their time finding the right buyer, which is why the average days on market out there is sitting around 100 right now, the longest of any area I track. The median list price is about $844,000, and the market is still leaning gently in the seller's favor.

Here's what I tell families quietly wondering if they should trade suburban square footage for room to breathe: that slower pace is actually on your side. It gives you time to think, time to run the real numbers, and time to plan the gap between selling your current place and landing in the next one. That's the whole idea behind the way I walk families through a move with the Smooth Move Method. Name what the current home can't do anymore, figure out what the next chapter needs, and plan the transition so nobody's living out of boxes in between.

There's no rush out here, and honestly, that's the appeal. Room for the kids, room for the dog, a morning that doesn't feel like a traffic jam in your own kitchen.

If you've ever caught yourself daydreaming about a little more space and a slower pace, what would you do with five acres? I'd love to hear it.

Quick one for anyone watching the Highlands Ranch market this summer, because I keep getting the same text: "Jeff, did you see how many homes are dropping their price? Is it finally a buyer's market?"

Here's the honest answer. Yes, about two-thirds of single-family sellers in Highlands Ranch have already cut their asking prices, the highest share of any city I'm tracking right now. But before you start celebrating (or panicking, depending on which side you're on), it's worth understanding what that number actually is.

A lot of those cuts are coming off homes that were listed way too high to begin with. The typical new listing came in around $825,000, while homes are really selling closer to $772,400. So when one of those drops $40,000, it isn't suddenly a steal. It's just landing where it should have started. The real opportunity, the home where a seller is genuinely ready to make a deal, is usually the one that was priced fairly from the beginning and has quietly been sitting for a couple of months without all the drama.

That's the part the headlines skip. The loud price drop grabs attention. The quiet, fairly priced home that's been on the market 60-plus days is often where the actual room is. Same market, two completely different stories, and knowing which one you're looking at changes everything about how you'd make an offer.

None of this is a reason to rush or to freeze. It's just useful to know before you fall in love with a "deal" that was never really a deal. If you're keeping an eye on Highlands Ranch, what are you seeing out there? Drop a comment. I'd love to hear what's catching your eye this summer.

Let me clear up the question I keep getting this week: "Jeff, did we miss our window in Highlands Ranch?"

Short answer, no. But the market is rewarding people who know where to look.

Here's the calm read. Yes, about two-thirds of homes for sale here have lowered their price, and that headline makes everybody nervous. The detail underneath it is the useful part. Homes in the $610,000 to $700,000 range, usually 3 to 4 bedrooms, are moving in roughly 3 to 4 weeks. That's the sweet spot for families trading up from a starter home. The listings that came on swinging for the top, closer to $825,000 when the community's median is $772,400, are the ones sitting 65 days and then cutting.

So the price cuts aren't the floor falling out. They're a bunch of high starting numbers catching up to where buyers actually are.

If you're a family thinking about moving up, that's genuinely good news. You don't need the whole market to cooperate. You need to know which tier is active and which homes have sat long enough to give you room. And if you're on the selling side, the lesson is the same one in reverse: start at the right number and skip the slow, discouraging cut cycle entirely.

Either way, the number isn't something to fear. It's something to read correctly.

Quick one about Highlands Ranch, because the number this week surprised even me.

Two out of three homes for sale here have already lowered their price. That's 66%, the highest of any city I keep an eye on. And I get why that headline makes people nervous. It sounds like the floor is falling out.

It isn't. Here's the calmer read.

Highlands Ranch is still a strong seller's market. The issue isn't demand, it's that a lot of homes came on priced where sellers hoped they'd land (around $825,000 for new listings) instead of where homes are actually selling (closer to $772,400). When you list high, the showings slow, the home sits, and eventually the price comes down. The cut isn't the market falling apart. It's the listing catching up to reality.

If you're a family thinking about moving up, this is genuinely good information. The homes that have been sitting longest, 65 days on average, are where you've got the most room to negotiate. And if you're thinking about selling, the takeaway is simple: start at the right number and you skip the whole slow, discouraging cut cycle.

Either way, the number isn't something to be scared of. It's something to read correctly.

If you've been watching Highlands Ranch and wondering what it means for your own move, drop a comment below. Happy to talk it through, no pressure.

Talk soon, Jeff

Every few months I get a version of the same message: "We love our neighborhood, but we're running out of room. Is it crazy to think about moving?"

It's not crazy. It's usually the first honest signal that a home that fit you five or ten years ago has quietly stopped fitting the season you're in now. A kid needs their own room. The garage gave up holding cars a while ago. Mornings before school feel like a contact sport.

A lot of those families end up looking south at Parker, and I get why. Strong Douglas County schools, trails and open space, rec centers, a real downtown, and still an easy reach to the metro. It checks a lot of the move-up boxes. But here's what I always tell them: the town is the easy part. The part that keeps people stuck is the how. Do we sell first or buy first? What does the timing look like? How do we protect the equity we've built?

That's the whole reason I built the Smooth Move Method: to take those questions off your plate and turn them into a clear, step-by-step plan. Name what isn't working, define what you actually need next, run the real numbers, and line up the move so you're never left in limbo.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start thinking about it. You just have to be honest that the conversation's worth having.

If your home stopped fitting your family, what's the one thing you'd want more of in the next one? I'd love to hear it in the comments.

If your family has been saying "we should probably move" for a couple of years now, I want to tell you something: that is completely normal, and you are in good company.

I talk to a lot of families around Highlands Ranch who've quietly outgrown a starter home and have been circling the decision for a while. The closet wars, the garage that gave up on cars, the office that's also the guest room. They feel it, they mention it, and then life keeps going. There's no rush in any of that.

Here's the part worth knowing right now, though. The market has eased a notch. Across the Denver-area cities I'm tracking this week, somewhere between 43% and 55% of homes for sale have already adjusted their price, which means buyers have a little more room and a little less pressure than they did a year ago. That's not a scare. It's breathing room.

And Highlands Ranch is one of those places families settle into for the long haul, between the trails, the rec centers, the schools, and a farmers market at Town Center that quietly eats your whole Saturday. So the move into it is worth slowing down for and getting right. That's the whole heart of how I walk every family through it, calmly and without the chaos: what's not working today, what the next chapter actually needs, and how the numbers really land.

If you're somewhere in that "someday maybe" phase, that's a perfectly good place to be. What's the thing in your current house you've quietly outgrown? I'd love to hear it.

Hope this gives a little clarity. Jeff

There's a reason families who move to Highlands Ranch tend to stay for the long haul.

It's not any one thing. It's the 70-plus miles of trails, the rec centers, the Backcountry Wilderness Area practically out the back door, the schools, the Saturday farmers market at Town Center that somehow eats your whole morning in the best possible way. It's a place built for the chapter of life where the kids need room to grow, and you want a little room to breathe.

And because people plant roots here, the move into it is worth taking your time for. I talk to a lot of families who've outgrown a starter home and have been saying "we should probably move" for a couple of years. There's no rush in that. There's just a steadier way to think it through: what's not working today, what the next chapter actually needs, and how the numbers really land. That's the whole heart of the Smooth Move Method, the way I walk every family through it, calmly and without the chaos.

If you're somewhere in that "someday maybe" phase with your own house, you're in good company. Most folks sit there a while before they're ready, and that's completely okay.

What made Highlands Ranch home for your family? I'd love to hear it.

Hope this gives a little clarity. Jeff
