Denver Housing Snapshot: August 2026

Here is a look at where the Denver housing market stands this month, based on the latest available numbers. No prior data has been tracked for this report yet, so we are simply describing the current picture.

The median list price in the Denver area sits at $574,900, down 4.2% from a year ago. Homes are spending a median of 57 days on the market, and there are 12,998 active listings for buyers to consider, along with 4,444 new listings that came on the market in August. Notably, 6,544 listings have seen a price cut, which gives a sense of how sellers are approaching pricing right now.

Stepping back to the broader community, Denver's population is about 713,734, with a median household income of $91,681 and a homeownership rate of 49%. The Census also puts the median home value at $586,700, and the typical home in the city was built around 1974, which is worth keeping in mind for buyers weighing older housing stock against newer construction.

Together these figures paint a picture of a market with a good amount of inventory and room for negotiation, alongside a long-established housing base across the city.
