Market Insights

January 2026 Market Analysis

Denver's rental market continues to show strong demand as we enter 2026. Average rents have increased by 2.3% from the previous month, driven primarily by limited inventory in popular neighborhoods like LoDo and Cherry Creek.

The vacancy rate has dropped to 3.8%, down from 4.3% in December, indicating a competitive market for renters. Properties are spending an average of just 15 days on the market before being rented.

Key Trends:

  • Strong demand for 1-bedroom apartments in urban core
  • Increasing interest in pet-friendly properties
  • Remote work continues to drive demand for in-unit office space
  • New construction in RiNo and Five Points adding inventory

Renter Outlook: Competition remains high in desirable neighborhoods. Renters should be prepared with complete application materials and consider expanding their search to emerging neighborhoods like Sunnyside and Berkeley for better value.
