"Inventory continues to rebuild at a steady pace. Active listings rose 2.91 percent from June to 13,115 at month's end, though supply remains 6.29 percent below where it stood last July. New listings pulled back 5.32 percent month-over-month to 5,447, a typical summer cooling as sellers who were going to list this year have largely already done so."
"The people moving through this market are moving because life is asking them to—a growing family, a job change, a divorce, a death, a downsize. Those transactions don't pause for market sentiment, and they're a large part of why sales have held as steady as they have. Today's 13,115 active listings remain well below the 20,000-plus this market carried routinely between 2008 and 2012, reminding us that the Denver Metro market isn't oversupplied by historical standards. It's simply no longer scarce."

- LUXURY MARKET ($1,000,000+): "While Denver’s broader housing market cooled in July, the $1 million+ segment continued to chart its own course, showing resilience where other segments have softened. Year-to-date sales in this segment climbed to 3,569 transactions through July, driving sales volume up to $5.83 billion and delivering the strongest luxury market Denver Metro has seen since 2022." - Michelle Schwinghammer, DMAR Market Trends Committee Member & Denver REALTOR®
- SIGNATURE MARKET ($750,000 - $999,999): "Whether you look at month-over-month or year-to-date statistics, both point in the same direction. If you're a buyer, now is a strong time to move. Inventory remains relatively high and demand has softened, particularly for attached properties. If you're a seller, recalibrating expectations has never mattered more. As we head into the fall market, invest in professional photography, stage your home well and, most importantly, price competitively within your market segment. Life is about making the best decisions you can with the information available. Understanding the market is how you set yourself up for success." - Andrew Abrams, DMAR Market Trends Committee Member & Denver REALTOR®.
- PREMIER MARKET ($500,000 - $749,999): "After years of frenzy, the mid-market has quietly returned to fundamentals. In the $500,000 to $749,999 range, the summer of 2026 looks nothing like the overheated days of 2022. Year-to-date closed sales sit roughly 31 percent below that peak, and July alone delivered eight percent fewer closings than the same month last year. Sales volume followed the same path, down more than seven percent year-over-year. Buyers are no longer writing multiple offers with escalation clauses. Sellers are no longer watching their homes vanish in 48 hours. Yet, this is not a collapse. It is a reset." - Greg Cox, DMAR Market Trends Committee Member & Denver REALTOR®.
