The Denver housing market is shifting fast. For years, sellers enjoyed sky-high demand, limited inventory, and bidding wars. But those days are fading. As of April, housing inventory across the metro area surged to over 10,000 active listings. That reflects a 99.6% increase over the long-term April average, according to Nick Gerli, CEO of Reventure App. In this kind of housing market, sellers now face a more crowded playing field and a pickier pool of buyers.
At Truth Design Build, we help homeowners navigate these shifts by transforming houses into homes that stand out both for their style and added value that appeals to today’s buyers.
Why Remodel When Selling?
In a market with more choices and fewer active buyers, first impressions matter more than ever. Buyers aren’t rushing in. They’re comparing. They’re calculating. The median monthly mortgage payment in Denver now sits around $3,700, eating up over 40% of the median income. With affordability stretched thin, most home buyers can’t risk taking on a fixer-upper.
That’s where remodeling comes in.
Homes that are thoughtfully updated sell faster and closer to asking price, especially when they remove friction points for the buyer. No one wants to move in and immediately rip out old carpet or deal with a cramped, dated kitchen. Strategic upgrades make your home more livable, lovable, and sellable.
What Buyers Are Looking For
While inventory is up, demand hasn’t kept pace. Sales volume is down 15% from seasonal norms, and many buyers are waiting for prices to fall further. While plenty are still buying, they’re all looking for value.
That doesn’t mean cheap. It means modern, functional, and move-in ready. Think remodeled kitchens and bathrooms, energy-efficient systems, and flex spaces that can double as home offices or guest suites. If your home delivers that kind of experience, it will stand out among the thousands of listings now sitting idle.
Remodeling With Resale in Mind
Not every upgrade is worth it. That’s why Truth Design Build takes a market-savvy approach to remodeling for resale. We look at what buyers want and where you’ll see the biggest return. That might be:
We work with you at every turn to design with purpose and build beautiful spaces.
Timing Is Everything
With Denver home prices already down year-over-year and inventory expected to keep rising through September, the clock is ticking. Remodeling now gives you a competitive edge before more listings flood the market and prices soften further.
And here’s the thing: buyers are still acting quickly on the right homes. In April, the average Denver home spent just 36 days on market, well below the national average of 50. The takeaway? If your home is compelling, it can still sell fast.
