Denver metro market numbers, by area

Here is how the Denver metro market looked in September 2026. The median residential closing price was $575,000, down about 2% from a year ago and about 3% from August. Buying slowed more than prices did, with 2,849 closings, down about 21% from last September. Homes that sold still moved a little faster than a year ago, with a median of 32 days in the MLS compared with 35, although that is up from 27 in August. Sellers have more company, since active listings ended the month at 13,567, up about 4% from last year and the highest September level since 2011, yet still about 10% below the historical September average. The story differs by type of home. Detached inventory is up about 1% from a year ago and the detached median price held at $635,000, while townhome and condo inventory is up about 10% and their median price has slipped about 6% to $365,500. That points to more choice for buyers of townhomes and condos, while detached prices are holding their ground. Use the area menu below to see the numbers for your part of the metro.
