Rising Inventory and Price Reductions Mark a Cooling but Active Denver Housing Market
Denver Real Estate Market Snapshot
This week in the Denver real estate market, high inventory and price adjustments are shaping a more balanced summer landscape. The average sales price sits at $766,036, with homes averaging 42 days on market. Active inventory has reached 3,861 listings, offering the broadest selection buyers have seen in years.
To give context, July inventory has climbed sharply over recent years: from 1,380 in July 2021, to 1,977 in 2023, and now 3,861 in 2025—a more than 95% increase in just two years. This trend is giving buyers significant negotiating power and more breathing room in their home search.

Denver Real Estate Trend Insights
Price Sensitivity Dominates
With over 600 price reductions, buyers are setting the pace. Homes priced too ambitiously are being forced to course-correct quickly.
Inventory Is Surging
At 3,861 active listings, Denver buyers now have more choices than at any time in the past five years. This inventory boom gives leverage back to buyers and softens urgency.
Demand Remains, But Selectively
While price adjustments are widespread, buyer activity hasn’t vanished. With 240 pending and 224 sold listings, buyers are still out there—but only when the price is right.
Listing Turnover Slows
Homes are taking longer to sell than in recent years. July’s average of 42 days on market is up from 23 days in July 2023 and just 13 in 2021.
