Spring in Colorado: Why Locals Love It + What It Means for Real Estate
Spring in Colorado brings blooming beauty, outdoor adventures, and a shift in the real estate market. Here’s what to expect and why it’s a great time to explore life (and homes) in Colorado.
Ah, Spring in Colorado. 🌸
There’s something magical about this time of year. The snow starts to melt, trails start to clear, and the sun sticks around just a little longer. If you're new to Colorado—or even if you've lived here for years—spring always feels like a fresh start.
As a local real estate agent, I get a front-row seat to how this season changes the game, not just in nature but in real estate too.
Here’s what makes spring in Colorado special—and how to make the most of it.
🌷 1. The Weather Is Unpredictably Perfect
Yes, you might see snowflakes in April. And yes, you might be in a t-shirt the next day. That’s Colorado for you! But by March and April, we're seeing sunnier days, warming temps, and the beginning of backyard season.
This is when people start thinking about:
Selling (curb appeal starts shining)
Buying (hello, open house season!)
Exploring new neighborhoods on foot
🥾 2. Trails, Parks, and Patio Life Reawaken
Spring is when locals start returning to all the things we love:
Red Rocks for concerts and sunrise workouts
Cherry Creek State Park and South Valley Park for hikes
Farmers markets popping up in Littleton, Lakewood, and Denver
Dog walks without freezing your face off 🐾
People start imagining what it would be like to live near these places. That’s why home searches start ticking up this time of year!
🏡 3. Real Estate Season Heats Up
This is one of the busiest times in the Colorado real estate market. Sellers want to list before summer travel, and buyers want to settle in before the next school year.
As a Denver real estate agent, I always encourage clients to:
Prep early (even if you’re selling in May or June)
Watch interest rates (and talk strategy if you're a buyer)
Visit homes in different lighting/weather to get a full picture
Fun fact: Some of my favorite homes have had the BEST natural lighting during spring showings—those long golden-hour evenings hit differently.
🌼 4. Local Events + Community Vibes
Colorado communities come alive in the spring with:
Art walks and spring markets
Plant swaps and garden tours
Yoga in the park (you know I’m there 🧘🏻♀️)
Spring sports, school carnivals, and community cleanups
These moments are part of what makes a house feel like home. I always tell my buyers: fall in love with the neighborhood and the home.
🧽 5. Spring Cleaning = Spring Prepping
Thinking about selling this year? Spring is the time to:
Declutter
Power wash
Touch up paint
Plant some cheerful blooms
A little effort goes a long way, especially when buyers are comparing homes online before they even step inside.
