Number of Denver metro area homes for sale is the highest in over a decade

If you've driven around neighborhoods in the Denver metro area recently, you may have noticed there's quite a few for sale signs up in yards. The area has seen a 48% increase in active listings since this time last year, making it the most homes for sale since 2011, according to Multiple Listing Service data.

"I think we have a bit of pent-up seller demand," explains Amanda Snitker who chairs the Market Trends Committee for the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.
She explains that many homeowners who locked into low interest rates before or during the pandemic have chosen to stay in their homes rather than list them. Though rates haven't dropped, many are done waiting.
"They've been waiting for a while," she said. "The pain points of whatever the reasons were they wanted to sell have become more painful."
According to the MLS, there are around 15,000 active listings in the area, up dramatically from a year ago. It means buyers have higher standards, and in many cases, more negotiating power. While sellers need to be more strategic.
"Your competition is just different than the conditions we were in last year. The buyers today have more to choose from, and so pricing to make sure that your property is the one that's going to sell."
Snitker adds that the swing isn't necessarily out of the norm.
"The Denver market tends to function in extremes. And it can swing very quickly, because we do have a pool of buyer demand waiting for conditions to be appealing. On a large scale, we're looking at a lot of inventory. But when you look at it at a very small local level, you still might have very few to choose from."
The situation is different based on style, condition, and price point. For example, the attached home market has struggled for years according to Snitker, and homes under $1 million are harder to sell right now.
Snitker believes the area will continue to see more and more inventory enter the market in the second half of the year. There could be a federal interest rate cut in September that would increase the buyer pool as well, but if not, the Denver metro area will likely continue to trend in the same direction with active listings.

The 20 Most American-Made Cars of 2025

With tariffs still a hot talking point and prices expected to increase over the next few months, it could make a big difference where your next car is built. That's why the annual American-Made Index is an important tool to use when shopping for your next ride. The American-Made Index uses five different factors to determine just how "American" each car sold in the US is: Location of final assembly, percentage of US and Canadian parts, countries of origin for all engines, countries of origin for all transmissions, and US manufacturing workforce. This year, the study analyzed more than 400 vehicles and narrowed the final list down to 100 models. At the top of the list are the usual suspects: Tesla, Jeep, and even Honda. American brands like Chevrolet and Ford don't crack the top 10, and only one Chevy makes it in the top 20. You can read the full list at —but here's what the top 20 looks like: 20. Nissan Pathfinder 19. Chevrolet Colorado 18. Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid 17. Kia Sportage 16. Acura Integra 15. Honda Accord 14. Acura RDX 13. Jeep Wrangler 12. Honda Pilot 11. Acura MDX 10. Volkswagen ID.4 9. Honda Passport 8. Honda Odyssey 7. Honda Ridgeline 6. Kia EV6 5. Jeep Gladiator 4. Tesla Model X 3. Tesla Model S 2. Tesla Model Y 1. Tesla Model 3 Tesla Tops the Charts Tesla Model 3 Performance As expected, Tesla tops the list with four of its models taking the top four. The Model 3 earns the crown as the most American-made vehicle of 2025 (so far). All of Tesla's vehicles are produced at its Fremont Factory in Fremont, California, with the Gigafactory in Texas also producing Model Ys and Cybertrucks. The Gladiator takes fifth place and is the only Jeep in the top 20, while Kia takes sixth place with the electric EV6. The Kia Sportage also cracks the top 20 in 17th place; both Kia models are produced at the brand's West Point, Georgia, manufacturing facility. Honda has five vehicles in the top 20, with the Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, and Passport all produced at the same manufacturing plant in Lincoln, Alabama. The Honda Accord, meanwhile, is built in Marysville, Ohio. Honda's luxury brand, Acura, also has three vehicles in the top 20: The RDX, MDX, and Integra. The Integra is built alongside the Accord in Marysville, while the RDX and MDX are produced nearby in East Liberty, Ohio. Where Are Chevy & Ford? Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison Photo by: Andrew Link | Motor1 While only one of Detroit's Big Three cracks the top 10 (Jeep), Chevy and Ford are nowhere to be found. Only one Chevy model—the Colorado pickup, at 19th—even cracks the top 20. It's produced at Chevy's Wentzville, Missouri, plant. The Ford F-150 Lightning comes in at 22nd, and the Explorer is 23rd. Meanwhile, the Bronco falls all the way to 47th, while the Mustang is even further still at 56th. Outside of the Colorado, the C8 Corvette is 29th, the Suburban is 38th, the Tahoe is 41st, and the Traverse SUV is 73rd. A few Cadillac and GMC models—like the Yukon at 39th and the CT5 at 44th—do at least crack the top 50. The Least-American Made Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid Photo by: Subaru On the opposite end of the spectrum, a handful of vehicles from American brands fall to the bottom of the list. The Jeep Wagoneer L is the 100th most American-made car of 2025. The Toyota RAV4 Hybrid is 99th, the Cadillac Lyriq is 98th, the Nissan Rogue is 97th, the Subaru Crosstrek is 96th, and the Genesis GV70 is 95th. Here's what the bottom 10 looks like: 100. Jeep Wagoneer L 99. Toyota RAV4 Hybrid 98. Cadillac Lyriq 97. Nissan Rogue 96. Subaru Crosstrek 95. Genesis GV70 94. Honda Civic Hybrid 93. Mercedes-Benz GLE350 92. Mercedes-Benz EQE 350+ 91.
