🍂 An Early Look at Metro Denver’s September 2026 Housing Market
As we kick off September, the Metro Denver real estate market is stepping into its traditional fall slowdown—and buyers hold more negotiating power than we’ve seen in years.
If you’re planning a move before the end of the year, here is what the data is showing right now:
Buyer Leverage is Up: Active inventory remains elevated, hovering around 4 months of supply. Buyers have time to shop, negotiate terms, and ask for concessions.
Selective Under-Contract Rates: Only about 30% of listings are going under contract within their first 30 days. High-demand, well-priced homes still move, but overall contract velocity is roughly 20% lower than last year.
Price Cuts Are Common: Over half of all properties going under contract have required at least one price reduction, averaging around 7%.
The Takeaway for Sellers:
If you’re listing this fall, initial pricing and presentation are critical. The market is quickly pushing back on "test pricing," making a data-driven strategy essential.
The Takeaway for Buyers:
You don't need to rush into a bidding war. Take a breather, run the numbers, and use the current inventory to find the right terms.
