The Denver Metro housing market stayed strong in October, continuing its steady move toward balance. Both buyers and sellers remain active, and the numbers show a healthy, confident market as we head into the holidays. Agents closed 3,448 home sales in October — just 2% fewer than last year. The median sales price landed at $590,000, dipping only 1% year-over-year. Prices remain firm, proving that demand in Denver continues to hold up even as activity naturally cools this time of year.
Homes spent a median of 35 days on the market, about a week longer than last year. That extra time gives buyers more breathing room to explore options and make smart offers. The $300,000–$399,999 range moved the fastest, with homes going under contract in around 30 days — clear evidence that buyers are still eager for well-priced, affordable homes.
Sellers brought 4,482 new listings to the market, down 4% from last October, which keeps inventory tight. Even with fewer new listings, pending sales rose 3% to 3,434, showing that motivated buyers are ready to move when the right home hits the market. Mid-range properties in the $500,000–$600,000 range led with 678 closings, while 496 homes sold above $1 million, confirming steady interest across every price tier.
📈 Month-to-Month Shifts
Compared to September, closed sales dipped just 2%, reflecting the typical seasonal slowdown. Despite that, the median price ticked up 1%, proving that well-priced homes still attract strong offers. Homes also moved a little faster — spending 35 days on the market, down from 37 in September. New listings dropped 10% month-over-month, tightening supply even further. Buyers had fewer options, but steady demand kept the market competitive. Sellers who priced right and showcased their homes effectively continued to see quick, confident sales.
💡 What It Means for You
For buyers, this market offers opportunity. You have more time to make decisions, more room to negotiate, and steady prices that make planning easier.
For sellers, strategy matters more than ever. Price your home accurately, invest in strong presentation, and highlight what makes your property stand out — the buyers are there, and they’re ready to move.
✨ The Bottom Line
Denver’s housing market remains healthy, stable, and full of potential — for both sides of the table. Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or invest, this fall is the perfect time to make informed moves that set you up for success in 2026.
