February 2026 Denver Real Estate Market Stats: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
A Market Settling into Balance
February continued the steady, measured pace that began the year. While the early spring market is beginning to take shape, the data suggests the Denver metro housing market remains in a period of adjustment rather than acceleration. Inventory continues to grow, timelines are stretching slightly, and buyers are taking a more deliberate approach — all signs of a market finding its equilibrium.
Home Prices Adjust Slightly
The median sales price in the Denver Metro area came in at $575,000, reflecting a 3.4% year-over-year decrease. While price movement often draws attention, this shift largely reflects continued stabilization following several years of dramatic price volatility.
Values remain historically strong, but buyers are increasingly attentive to pricing relative to condition, location, and overall value.
Inventory Continues to Grow
Active listings increased to 8,322 homes, continuing the trend of expanding inventory across the Denver metro area. This rise provides buyers with greater opportunity to evaluate homes carefully and compare options before making decisions.
For sellers, this environment reinforces the importance of preparation. Homes that are thoughtfully presented and priced appropriately continue to attract attention, while properties that miss the mark may take longer to generate interest.
Closings Show Slight Movement
A total of 1,569 properties closed, representing a 0.7% year-over-year decrease. This modest shift reflects a market that remains active but more measured than the fast-moving conditions seen in previous years.
Buyers remain present, but many are proceeding with greater caution as they weigh interest rates, affordability, and long-term financial considerations.
Homes Are Taking a Bit Longer to Sell
Median days on market rose to 35 days, an increase of three days compared to last year.
This change continues the broader trend of normalization. Buyers are taking additional time to tour homes, evaluate inspections, and ensure financing aligns with their long-term plans. For sellers, thoughtful pricing and preparation remain essential to maintaining momentum.
Months of Supply Holds Steady
With 4.1 months of supply, the Denver market continues to hover near what many economists consider a balanced environment.
This level of supply supports more balanced negotiations. Buyers are no longer facing the extreme competition of previous years, while sellers are still benefiting from strong long-term housing demand.
What This Means as Spring Approaches
February’s data reinforces the theme we’ve been seeing for several months: the Denver market is settling into a more sustainable rhythm.
Inventory growth, steady pricing, and slightly longer timelines suggest a healthier environment where both buyers and sellers can make decisions more thoughtfully. As we move closer to the spring market, activity is expected to increase, but the underlying conditions point toward stability rather than volatility.
