Denver Metro Real Estate Market Update - October

🏡 Denver Metro Real Estate Market Update – October 2025

As we head deeper into fall, the Denver Metro real estate market continues to hold strong—steady prices, active buyers, and a pace that feels refreshingly balanced. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just keeping an eye on trends, here’s what the latest six months of data are telling us about where things stand.

📊 Inventory & Market Activity

There’s plenty happening, but without the chaos of the pandemic boom years. Right now, we’re seeing 13,592 active listings across the Denver Metro area, with 4,087 homes under contract. That gives us a pending ratio of 30%, which means buyer activity is healthy, but the market isn’t overheated.

With 3.4 months of inventory, we’re still leaning slightly toward a seller’s market—but not by much. Think of it as a “sweet spot” for both sides: sellers can still find motivated buyers, and buyers have a little more time and choice than they did a couple of years ago.

💰 Pricing Trends

Prices have stayed incredibly steady throughout 2025.

• Median Active List Price: $600,000

• Median Pending Price: $609,900

• Median Sold Price (last six months): $608,000

That tight gap between list and sold prices tells us that sellers are pricing their homes realistically—and buyers are meeting them there. On average, sellers are getting about 98.7% of their final list price, which is impressive in today’s shifting market.

⏳ Days on Market

Here’s where pricing strategy really shows up.

• Active listings: 62 days on market

• Recently sold homes: 25 days

This difference is key—homes priced right and presented well are moving quickly, while those listed too high tend to sit longer. Buyers are smart and selective, especially with more options available this fall.

🏘️ Market by Price Segment

• $500K–$1M Range: This is still the most active part of the market. Homes here are selling in around 22 days with a median sold price near $660,000—very close to list price.

• Luxury ($1M+): Higher-end homes are taking a bit longer to move (median 71 days active, 24 days once under contract) and show a pending ratio of 26%, but they’re still closing strong—about 97.7% of list price on average.

💡 Advice for Buyers & Sellers

For Sellers:
Price it right from the start. The data is clear—homes that are priced competitively are selling in under a month and landing very close to asking price. Presentation matters, too. A clean, staged home with great photos will always attract more attention (and better offers).

For Buyers:
You’ve got more breathing room than a couple of years ago, but don’t get too comfortable—great homes still move fast. Especially in the $500K–$1M range, you’ll want to have your financing ready and be prepared to act quickly when you find the right one.

🌄 Final Thoughts

All in all, the Denver Metro housing market remains healthy, steady, and balanced. Prices are stable, homes are selling efficiently, and there’s opportunity on both sides of the table.

Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or invest, understanding today’s trends will help you make confident, informed decisions.
