#614: Houses Flat, Condos Down 8% — What Denver's Q1 Data Actually Shows
Denver condo prices are down 8% since 2022, and houses have gone essentially flat — but is the correction over or is there more to come? In this episode, Chris Lopez walks through Q1 2026 data from Your Castle Real Estate, mapping 52 years of Denver price history to show exactly where each asset class stands today. He explains why condo corrections always play out slowly, even during major market events like the 2008 crash, and why multifamily — already down 15 to 35% — represents the stronger entry point for Colorado investors right now. If you own a Denver condo and aren’t sure what to do, Chris breaks that down too.
