Denver Housing Market Update -July 2026

Denver's housing market is settling into a more balanced rhythm this summer, and that's opening doors for buyers and sellers alike. Inventory remains well above pandemic-era lows, giving buyers the most options they've seen in years, while home values continue to hold strong with the median closed price now at $615,000, up 2.5% from last year.

Buyers are finding more breathing room than they've had in recent memory. With homes averaging 38 days on the market, there's time to evaluate, inspect, and negotiate rather than rushing a decision. Sellers, meanwhile, continue to benefit from resilient pricing, though with new listings down 17.5% year-over-year, presentation and pricing strategy matter more than ever to stand out.

The bottom line: this summer's market rewards those who are prepared and ready to move when the right opportunity comes along. Whether you're buying or selling, let's talk about what this means for you.
