October 2025 Denver Real Estate Market Stats: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
October brought a noticeable seasonal shift to the Denver real estate market—both literally and figuratively. Activity is still steady, but the pace has eased as we slide deeper into fall. Buyers are being more selective, inventory has started to tighten slightly, and pricing is showing subtle adjustments rather than big swings. It’s a quieter market, but not a stalled one.
Here’s what the October numbers are telling us in everyday terms.
Detached Homes: Fewer Listings, More Selective Buyers
Median sales price dipped slightly in October, continuing the theme of modest price adjustments we’ve been watching through late summer and early fall. Active listings pulled back this month, giving the market a little less congestion than we saw earlier in the season.
Closed sales also edged down, which isn’t unusual for this time of year. Buyers are still active, but they’re taking their time and being very intentional about where they land. Days on market remains elevated, reinforcing that sellers need to be sharp with price and presentation to stand out. Homes that are dialed in are still selling—just with less urgency than we saw earlier this year.
Attached Homes (Condos + Townhomes): Slower, Still Negotiable
The attached segment continues to lean in the buyers’ favor. With inventory still relatively high and sales volume softening, buyers retain solid negotiating power. Days on market staying elevated confirms that urgency remains low in this space.
For sellers, this means expectations must stay realistic. Units that are well-maintained, updated, and priced correctly are still moving, but anything that feels overpriced is sitting. For buyers, this remains one of the more flexible areas of the market when it comes to price, terms, and concessions.
Final Thoughts
October reinforces what we’ve seen unfold all year: this is a measured, balanced market where strategy beats speed. Buyers are focused on value, sellers must stay competitive, and the homes that succeed are the ones that are clearly positioned right from the start.
For sellers: Clean condition, strong presentation, and smart pricing are what drive results right now.
For buyers: You still have leverage and time on your side—but the best homes don’t wait forever.
