July 2025 Denver Real Estate Market Stats: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
July brought a noticeable shift in the Denver market—and not just in temperature. While activity is still happening, the pace has clearly cooled a bit. Buyers are taking more time, inventory remains elevated, and pricing is showing signs of softening. It’s not a slowdown across the board, but it is a market that’s asking everyone to be more intentional.
Here’s what the July numbers are telling us in real-world terms.
Detached Homes: Slower Pace, More Breathing Room
Median sales price dipped in July, a reminder that the sharp appreciation we saw in past years isn’t guaranteed month to month anymore. Inventory remains high, giving buyers plenty of choices and shifting more leverage in their direction. Closed sales also eased slightly, another sign that the urgency we felt in spring has cooled.
Days on market jumped again, which reinforces what we’re seeing on the ground—buyers are shopping carefully, comparing options, and not rushing into decisions. Homes that are priced aggressively or don’t stand out are sitting longer, while well-presented, correctly priced homes are still moving… just not at lightning speed.
Attached Homes (Condos + Townhomes): Cautious and Competitive
The attached market continues to feel a bit more cautious. With inventory staying elevated and closed sales dipping, buyers in this space have solid negotiating power right now. Pricing pressure remains real, and listings that miss the mark are quickly forced to adjust.
For sellers, this means being extremely realistic from the start. Proper pricing, clean condition, and strong presentation aren’t optional—they’re essential. For buyers, this remains one of the more favorable segments of the market, especially if you’re patient and ready to negotiate.
Final Thoughts
July confirms what we’ve been seeing build all summer—this market is moving, but it’s moving thoughtfully. Buyers are paying attention to value, sellers need to be strategic, and the gap between “winners” and “waiters” continues to come down to pricing, condition, and location.
For sellers: The margin for error is thinner now. Sharp pricing and strong presentation are what separate sold homes from stale ones.
For buyers: You have more leverage and more time, but the best homes are still commanding attention when they’re positioned right.
If you’re curious how this cooling trend affects your specific neighborhood, your home’s value, or your plans for the rest of the year, let’s talk. A smart, localized strategy makes all the difference in a shifting market.
