Realtor.com by Julie Taylor Market Trends for 2025

[Justin Crump]

Hello all who read!

I haven't posted in a while, and most I talk to have stated the slack in the market and slowed down with others who have backed off on buying/investing. I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.

I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

Top Housing Markets for 2025: Cities Where Home Sales Are Set To Soar

I operate and invest in Pueblo West and Canon City currently, and it has for sure been a softer market for sales. Rentals have remained pretty hot outside of common slower times around holidays. With that said, I have personally seen a lot of activity in the last two weeks. When I'm by realtor offices the phone is ringing. I'm starting to see and hear signs of interest in real estate, and anticipate that if there is an increase now that it leads to a busy spring and summer.

I would like to hear from others who are localized to Colorado and just see what you gals and guys are seeing and experiencing as well. Are you starting to see what Julie from realtor.com is predicting? I know her prediction doesn't state today, but for activity to jump in February and then again in May to June that doesn't appear to be in a common volume trend of a "normal" year if that exists anymore!

Appreciate all opinions and thoughts! 

Happy Investing, Be Great!
