Welcome back to Season 5 – Ep. 4 of Raising the Flipping Bar!
In this episode, Travis and I break down what’s really happening in the Denver fix & flip market as we head deeper into 2025. Buyers are more critical than ever, homes are sitting longer, and the details matter more than they ever have. We share what we’re seeing on the ground, from starter flips all the way up to luxury projects, and what you should be focusing on to stay ahead.
Here’s what we dive into:
Why buyers are being tougher on flips right now
The difference between a rushed rehab and a true market-ready product
What today’s $750K–$1M buyers expect (accent walls, basement bars, and trusted appliance/fixture brands)
What luxury buyers at $1.4M+ demand—hidden pantry doors, accordion glass walls, spa-like bathrooms, theater rooms, and more
The hard lessons we learned from our Inca project when it came to permits and inspections
How we’re using tech and AI to streamline flips and manage details more effectively
Real case studies from our consulting projects at Winona, Easter, and Hinsdale—and how each one required a completely different strategy
If you’re flipping in Denver or thinking about getting into this market, this episode will give you a real-world look at what buyers expect and how you can set yourself apart.
