High Inventory and Price Reductions Define Denver’s Mid-July Housing Market

Denver Real Estate Market Snapshot
The Denver real estate market continues to reflect midsummer cooling trends. From July 14–20, 2025, the average sales price came in at $684,283, homes spent an average of 46 days on market, and buyers had access to 3,905 active listings—a substantial increase from previous years.

Denver Real Estate Market Trends
Inventory Peaks for the Season
At nearly 4,000 listings, Denver has reached its highest July inventory level in the past six years. This presents new opportunities for buyers and signals greater competition among sellers.
Sales Prices Ease
The average sales price dropped slightly year over year, coming in at $684,283—down from $709,471 in July 2023. While not a steep drop, it shows some moderation in buyer willingness to pay premium pricing.
Longer Time on Market
Homes are now spending 46 days on the market—up from 31 days in July 2024. Buyers have more time to consider options, but well-prepared listings are still moving.
Sellers Adjusting Quickly
637 price reductions in a single week highlight how rapidly sellers are responding to market signals. Accurate pricing and strategic marketing are key.
