Thinking About Selling and Buying in Denver in the Next 12 Months?

This free guide walks you through the critical decisions most Denver homeowners miss when trying to sell and buy at the same time.

It shows you how to avoid costly mistakes, protect your leverage, and create a plan that actually works in today’s market.

What You’ll Learn Inside

This is a straight-talk, Denver-specific breakdown of how real sellers go from “maybe we should move” to a clear plan.

Inside the guide, you will see:

  • Avoid ending up “in between” homes
    • Coordinate your sale and purchase so you’re not carrying two mortgages or rushing into temporary housing.
  • Keep your negotiating power intact
    • Structure your timing and contingencies so you don’t lose leverage on either side of the transaction.
  • Time your move strategically
    • Understand when to list, when to buy, and how market conditions affect both.
  • Make the sell-first vs buy-first decision with confidence
    • Know the financial and strategic implications of each option before you commit.

If any of this sounds familiar, this is for you:

  • You have owned your home in the Denver area for a few years and you are wondering what your equity could actually do for you
  • Your current place is starting to feel too small, too big, too far away, or just not like a fit for your life anymore
  • You are not sure if it makes more sense to sell first, buy first, or try to do both at the same time
  • You are curious what is financially possible, but you do not want a high-pressure sales conversation

If you are even thinking about making a move in the next 6 to 18 months, this guide will help you get clear on what that might look like.

How It Works

Why I Created This

I’m Sallie Simmons, a full-time Denver REALTOR® with Nostalgic Homes at Compass.

Since 2014, I’ve sat with countless homeowners who all say some version of:

“We think we’re ready for a different home… but we have no idea how to make it happen without it turning into a mess.”

This guide was built from real conversations and real transactions across Denver.

It’s not theory. It’s exactly what I walk my clients through every day.

My approach is simple:

* Straight talk, no scare tactics

* Real numbers and realistic timelines

* Your goals and comfort level come first

If you read the guide and decide that staying put is the right move for now, that is still a win in my book. The goal is clarity, not pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Start here.

The best time to sell in Denver depends on your specific home, neighborhood, and financial goals — not just the season. Spring traditionally brings more buyers, but Denver's market moves year-round. Pricing strategy and preparation matter far more than timing alone. A local agent can help you evaluate your specific situation before you decide when to list.

In Denver's current balanced market, well-priced homes in good condition typically go under contract within 2-4 weeks. Homes that are overpriced or need work can sit 60-90 days or longer. The difference almost always comes down to pricing strategy and presentation — not luck.

Most Denver home sellers pay between 6-8% of the sale price in total selling costs, including real estate commissions, closing costs, and any pre-sale repairs or staging. On a $600,000 home that's roughly $36,000-$48,000. Knowing your net proceeds before you list is one of the most important steps in the selling process.

Yes, it is completely free. There is no catch. I believe that when people are well informed, they make better decisions and they remember who helped them get there. If you ever want help making a move, I would love to be considered, but there is no obligation.

Your guide will download instantly after you submit the form. I’ll usually send one quick text just to see if you have questions or want help customizing the plan. That’s it—no pushy sales calls. If you’re just gathering info, you can always tell me “not right now.”

Not at all. Many people who request this guide are six to eighteen months away from making a move. Getting clear early helps you avoid rushed decisions later.

This guide is designed for homeowners in Denver and the surrounding areas at a wide range of price points. The examples and strategies are specific to the Denver metro market.

Yes. In addition to working locally, I can help you plan a move out of the area and connect you with strong agents in other cities if needed.
