Is Denver a buyer's market now?
It is the most buyer-friendly fall since the early 2010s, with one catch: there are still fewer homes for sale than a normal market carries. Buyers had almost no choice from 2020 to 2022. Inventory has climbed every year since, and buyers now set the pace. But at 10.5% under the historical average, the market is not flooded. Homes priced right still sell: the median home went under contract in 32 days in September, and sellers got 98.45% of their list price.
Metro Denver, September 2026
Condos and townhomes are where buyers have the most room. Attached homes had 7.21 months of supply and a median price down 6.28% from a year ago, at $365,500 year to date. Single-family homes are tighter than the 4.76-month average, because condos and townhomes pull it up; the single-family median was $650,000 year to date.
How buyers use the extra inventory
- Ask for concessions. Closing costs, a rate buydown or repairs. With 4.76 months of supply, sellers expect the ask.
- Target homes over 30 days on market. Those sellers have watched buyers walk by. Offers below list get a counter, not a no.
- Keep the inspection and appraisal contingencies. The waive-everything offers of 2021 are gone.
- Look at condos and townhomes first if price is the goal. Attached prices are down and supply is the deepest in the metro. See Denver homes under $400K.
- Get the payment down, not only the price. At 7.49% rates, a seller-paid buydown or an assumable low-rate mortgage saves more per month than a small price cut.
What it means if you are selling
Price to the last 90 days of sales, not to the neighbor's listing. With 13,567 competing homes, buyers compare every listing on their phone.
