This month, we’re highlighting a Denver market update from the Colorado Real Estate Investing Podcast featuring Brandon Scholten, Chris Lopez, Jeff White of Envision Advisors, and Troy Howell of Nova Home Loans.For rental property owners, May’s numbers raised important questions. Active inventory fell 9.6% year over year, new listings dropped 17.2%, and the sales market continues to shape leasing, pricing, and investment decisions heading into summer.From Keyrenter Denver’s perspective, the discussion centers on what these trends mean for landlords and investors. Brandon shares property management insights, including how longer vacancies affect returns and why proactive pricing is critical. He also explains Keyrenter Denver’s 3-7-12 day vacancy management plan, designed to help owners stay competitive and reduce lost rental income.The episode includes a real-world example of a rental property that started at $1,600 per month, was adjusted to $1,475, and secured a tenant before the next planned price reduction. It’s a practical reminder of what we’re seeing across the Denver rental market: strategically priced, proactively managed properties tend to lease faster and perform better.

In this month’s edition of The Denver Landlord’s Digest, we've been exploring a growing trend: landlords who’ve listed their properties for sale are now returning to the rental market as buyer activity slows and inventory climbs.

It provides valuable context around the data and what it all means for property owners navigating this transitional moment.
