Summit Daily, Dec 2025, Colorado’s housing market hits a seasonal slowdown, boosting buyer leverage:
TRUE (But the article had a massive statistical clickbait flaw).
We are in the low season where many owners use their places or rent them. Properties on the market during this time typically allow for more negotiations because the sellers are motivated. This article did print a very narrow statistic comparing average price of November 2025 to the average sale price in November 2024 which was a 21% drop! People on Facebook’s One Man’s Junk went crazy saying Summit County real estate prices were plummeting. But that’s just not true – the mix of what sold in November 2024 was higher priced properties than in November 2025. It most certainly doesn’t mean the entire market dropped 21%! And if this chart is true, then Routt county properties increased by 128%. Ha.
Summit Daily, Nov 2025, Longer listings, softer prices: Western Slope housing continues shift toward buyers as winter slowdown nears:
FALSE
There is a shift toward buyers but I would argue that prices are not significantly softer. In Summit we saw price softening at 1-3%.
Summit Daily, Aug 2025: Real estate agents say summer brought a balanced market to Summit County:
TRUE
While there was a lot of inventory, negotiations weren’t tilted all one direction. The sellers could still hold out for the price they wanted, especially for the prime properties in great condition.
