August 2025 Denver Real Estate Market Stats: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
As summer winds down, the Denver real estate market is continuing its gradual shift into a more balanced rhythm. Activity is still happening, but the pace has slowed, buyers are being more deliberate, and price movement is becoming more nuanced. August didn’t bring dramatic swings—but it did reinforce that this is no longer a sprint-style market.
Here’s what the August numbers are showing us in everyday terms.
Detached Homes: More Time, More Consideration
Median prices edged up slightly in August, which is encouraging, but it wasn’t enough to offset the broader trend we’re seeing—homes are simply taking longer to sell. Days on market jumped again, now stretching beyond the one-month mark. That’s a clear signal that buyers are carefully weighing their options and comparing properties side by side.
Inventory remains elevated, keeping pressure on sellers to stay competitive. Closed sales dipped compared to last year, which means demand is still there—but it’s more selective. Homes that check all the boxes with price, condition, and location are still finding buyers, but anything that misses the mark is sitting longer than it would have just a year or two ago.
Attached Homes (Condos + Townhomes): Soft, But Still Active
The attached market continues to feel softer overall. Inventory is holding steady at higher levels while closed sales declined again, giving buyers continued leverage. Days on market stretched even further in this segment, reinforcing that buyers feel no urgency to rush.
For sellers, this means patience and precision are critical. Overpricing is quickly punished, and updated, well-maintained units clearly outperform the rest. For buyers, this remains one of the most flexible segments of the market—offering room for negotiations on both price and terms.
Final Thoughts
August continues the theme we’ve seen build all summer: the market is active, but thoughtful. Buyers are paying close attention to value, and sellers who adapt to current conditions are the ones seeing success.
For sellers: Pricing and presentation matter more than ever. The market rewards homes that are positioned right from day one.
For buyers: You’ve got time, leverage, and more options—but the best opportunities still move quickly when they’re priced correctly.
