Buyers market? What is that? Supply and demand, mortgage rates and other unique market factors create a situation that is favorable to buyers. It spells out that the buyer is in a solid position that ensures them an upper hand when it comes to real estate sales.
In a Rocket Mortgage blog from September 2025 they answer the question: What is a buyer’s market?
“A buyer’s market is when there are more houses for sale than there are people looking to buy. As a result, buyers have leverage because there is less competition, and sellers are more willing to negotiate and concede to price reductions.
In a buyer’s market, real estate prices decrease, and homes linger on the market longer. This means that sellers must compete with each other in order to attract potential buyers. Shopping for a home in a buyer’s market gives buyers more choices in homes and better all-around deals.”
Colorado Biz back in July 2025 did report the shift that tilted firmly towards buyers.
“With more homes on the market and fewer buyers, sellers are offering concessions, including cash for closing costs or mortgage rate buydowns, to close deals.”
The Buyer Has Taken Control
So, as the buyer have taken control of the advantages offered in a sale, “The growing number of homes on the market means buyers have more options when it comes to finding properties with features that fit their preferences, with less need for compromise. Buyers also have more time: The average number of days on the market for all home types jumped to 53 days, a 15% increase compared to last year, according to data from the report“, quotes an article from Aspen Times.
The Colorado Association of Realtors is calling the market a buyers market without the buyers and conclude that “conditions not likely to change for the remainder of 2025.”
