Cooling Buyer Pace Meets High Inventory and Active Price Adjustments
Thornton Real Estate Market Snapshot
The Thornton real estate market continues to reflect the broader summer trend across the metro: a high volume of listings, increased price sensitivity, and more negotiating room for buyers. From July 7–13, 2025, the average sales price was $556,672, with homes spending an average of 30 days on market. There are currently 472 active listings, the highest for July in over five years.
For perspective, July inventory has grown from just 224 active listings in 2020, to 319 in 2023, and now up to 472. Thornton buyers are enjoying more choice and less competition, which creates new opportunities.

Thornton Real Estate Trend Insights
Inventory Levels Are at a Five-Year High
Thornton’s 472 active listings this July represent a significant jump from previous years and give buyers more leverage and options.
Homes Are Taking Longer to Sell
With the average days on market rising to 30, up from 23 in 2023 and just 7 in 2021, sellers should expect longer timelines unless pricing is strategic.
Price Reductions Are Commonplace
Over 60 homes saw price cuts last week alone, highlighting increased competition and the importance of aligning with current buyer expectations.
Closings Still Outpace Withdrawals
Despite seller adjustments, the market remains active, with 47 sales and 46 pending deals last week—a sign that properly priced homes are still moving.
