Market Shift Alert: What This Week's Numbers Mean for Your Next Move
As we wrap up the third week of July 2025, I wanted to share some important market insights that could significantly impact your real estate decisions. The data is telling a clear story – and it's one you need to hear as a buyer looking for your next home in the Foothills.
The Big Picture: A Market in Transition
Across all the areas in the Foothills – Evergreen, Golden, Morrison, and even Littleton – we're seeing a consistent pattern: inventory is climbing while prices are beginning to stabilize. This shift represents the kind of opportunity savvy buyers like you have been waiting for.
Evergreen: Luxury Market Shows Resilience
Despite months of inventory jumping from 6 to 9, Evergreen continues to command premium prices with an average sold price of $1,519,174 – up from $1,415,867 in June. With 228 active homes and only 35 pending sales, you now have breathing room to find that perfect mountain retreat without the bidding war frenzy we saw earlier this year.
Golden: The Sweet Spot for Value
Golden is emerging as the market darling with homes selling in just 22 days on average at $1,039,914. While inventory has increased to 256 listings (months of inventory up from 3 to 5), the pace of new listings shows this market still has strong underlying demand. This is your goldilocks zone – not too hot, not too cold.
Morrison: Buyer's Market Territory
Here's where things get really interesting for you, Maggie. Morrison is showing clear buyer's market signals: closed prices down to $806,033 from June highs, months of inventory doubled from 3 to 6, and only 16 pending sales against 103 active listings. Translation? Negotiation power is shifting to buyers.
Littleton: Volume and Opportunity
With 841 active listings and 189 pending homes, Littleton offers the most selection. The slight uptick in list prices ($744,749) paired with declining closed prices ($733,238) suggests sellers are still pricing optimistically while buyers are successfully negotiating better deals.
What This Means for You
The window is opening. After months of seller-dominated markets, we're seeing the early signs of a more balanced marketplace. Here's why this timing could be perfect for your situation:
More inventory = More choice without the pressure of instant decisions
Longer days on market = More time for thorough due diligence
Price stabilization = Better negotiating position and realistic expectations
My Recommendation
Don't wait for the "perfect" bottom – it rarely announces itself clearly. Instead, take advantage of this transitional moment where you have both selection and negotiating power. The markets that interest you most are all showing buyer-friendly trends.
Let's schedule a strategy session this week to discuss which of these areas aligns best with your goals and timeline. I have insights on specific neighborhoods within each market that the broader data doesn't reveal.
The market has shifted in your favor, Maggie. Let's make the most of it.

P.S. – These inventory increases are happening faster than most people realize. The buyers who act thoughtfully but decisively in the next 60 days will likely look back on this as the perfect timing.
