December Market Snapshot: Lyric, Lone Tree, and Highlands Ranch

If you’ve been watching the market and wondering whether prices are climbing, cooling, or quietly catching their breath, this snapshot helps cut through the noise.

December median closed prices across three areas: Lyric Neighborhood, Lone Tree, and Highlands Ranch. Each data point represents 12 months of activity, giving a smoother, more reliable view of pricing trends rather than a single-month spike or dip.

What the Numbers Are Telling Us

Lyric Neighborhood - December 2024 median closed price: $964,900 - December 2025 median closed price: $950,000 - Year-over-year change: -1.5%

Lyric has seen a modest softening. This isn’t a crash. It’s more like a market exhaling after a strong run. Homes are still commanding premium prices, but buyers are showing a bit more patience.

Lone Tree - December 2024 median closed price: $879,750 - December 2025 median closed price: $855,000 - Year-over-year change: -2.8%

Lone Tree experienced a slightly larger pullback. This often signals a shift toward balance, where pricing becomes more sensitive to condition, location, and presentation rather than simply scarcity.

Highlands Ranch - December 2024 median closed price: $710,000 - December 2025 median closed price: $705,000 - Year-over-year change: -0.7%

Highlands Ranch remains the steadiest of the three. The minimal change suggests a resilient, well-supported market with consistent demand.

Why This Matters

Across all three areas, the theme is stability with slight downward pressure, not volatility. For buyers, this can mean improved negotiating power and fewer bidding wars. For sellers, it underscores the importance of pricing correctly and presenting the home well from day one.

Bottom Line

The market isn’t shouting right now. It’s speaking calmly. Prices are adjusting, not collapsing, and opportunity exists on both sides of the transaction depending on strategy and timing.
