What the July numbers say about buying and selling in Denver right now.
Inventory eased back from its summer high, sales held roughly steady, and prices kept inching upward, giving buyers a bit more room without giving sellers much less.

July 2026The national backdrop
Nationally, the median existing-home price reached a record $440,600 in July, up 1.8% from a year earlier, marking the 36th consecutive month of annual price growth, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.
Inventory nationwide sits at 1.56 million properties, a 4.6-month supply at the current sales pace. Locally, Denver metro's pullback in active listings suggests the same tightening is underway here, even as prices continue their slow climb.

What it means, depending on where you sit
For buyers
Reading the marketActive inventory is down sharply year over year, but that's coming off a summer peak; there's still more to choose from than there was in the tight years of 2021 to 2022. Condos in particular are sitting longer (63 days, up 14.5%), which gives buyers more negotiating room in that segment than in single family.
Sellers are still receiving close to full price on average (98.5% to 98.9%), so lowball offers remain a hard sell, though the days of multiple-offer chaos have eased.
For sellers
Reading the marketSingle family homes are still appreciating (+1.4% year over year to $635,500) and moving faster than they were a year ago, at 39 days on market, down from 41. Pricing and presentation matter more than they did at the market's peak, since buyers have more listings to compare against.
Condo sellers face a tougher backdrop: prices are down 3.0% year over year and homes are taking noticeably longer to sell. Realistic pricing from day one matters most in this segment right now.
