Denver Housing Market Snapshot for August 2026

Here is a plain look at where the Denver housing market stands this week, based on the latest available figures. Whether you are watching from the sidelines or thinking about a move, these numbers offer a clear snapshot of current conditions.

The median list price in the Denver area sits at $574,900, down 4.2% from a year ago. Over the past two weeks, that median list price has held steady at 0.0% change. Homes are staying on the market for a median of 57 days, and there are 12,998 active listings right now, with 4,444 new listings added in August alone.

Of note, 6,544 listings have seen a price cut, which is a meaningful share of the current inventory. For context on the broader community, Census data puts Denver's population at about 713,734, with a median home value around $586,700 and a median household income of about $91,681. About 49% of residents own their homes, and the typical home in the area was built around 1974.

Taken together, these figures describe a market with ample inventory and a noticeable number of price adjustments, alongside list prices that have leveled off in the short term after a year-over-year decline.
