We’ve made it to that glorious time of year when the Rockies truly come alive. Morning coffee on the deck, evening hikes in golden light — summer is officially kicking off in Grand County. And just like the weather, the real estate market is heating up right along with it. From trailheads to town centers, the momentum is undeniable.
Market Summary — June 2025
🔑 Buyers Are Staying Busy
Momentum from a strong spring is rolling right into early summer. Interest rates are holding steady, and buyers remain motivated, especially those looking for full-time homes or investment properties with rental potential. With around seven months of inventory still on the market, there’s plenty of opportunity to negotiate on price, concessions, and closing timelines.
Local buyers and Front Range families continue to jump back in, confident in the long-term value of owning mountain real estate. Sellers are adjusting to the current market realities, meaning well-prepared buyers are seeing more flexibility and choices than they have in recent years.
🚧 Summer Construction Season in Full Swing
Everywhere you look, projects are rising. Granby Ranch, Grand Elk, and Rendezvous are all busy with new builds, and Tabernash is finally moving ahead with Red Hawk Ranch after decades of waiting. Early-stage work has also begun on the long-discussed Fraser Valley Parkway, which could transform traffic flow through the valley in the coming years.
In Granby, Nuche Village is making progress after breaking ground last month, promising more attainable housing for locals and workforce residents alike.
🏢 Commercial Growth Keeps Building
The commercial scene in our small towns is buzzing. Hospitality and mixed-use developments continue to see serious interest, and Fraser’s new SpringHill Suites by Marriott is already stirring excitement about long-term visitor growth and local jobs.
🏥 Healthcare Anchors Community Value
A major milestone this month: the new Middle Park Health Campus officially opened its doors in Fraser, bringing 24/7 emergency services, imaging, and expanded healthcare right to the heart of the valley. This is a huge plus for both full-time residents and second-home owners, further reinforcing why this area is such a desirable place to live.
🚤 Lake Season Has Arrived
Grand Lake is finally thawed, and the boats are back. That means it’s high season for second-home shoppers and lakefront dreamers. If you’re looking to buy or sell near the water, June is prime time to act before the full summer rush.
🏡 What It Means for You
Whether you’re thinking about listing, investing, or simply wondering what your mountain property is worth, now is the moment to strategize. Buyer demand is steady, construction and infrastructure are on the move, and commercial investments are reinforcing confidence in the long-term growth of our mountain communities.
