📊 Northern Colorado Real Estate Market Update | August 2026
August brought a noticeable shift in activity for single family homes across Northern Colorado.
🏡 180 homes sold
Down from 248 in July
💰 $637,000 median sales price
Compared with $639,950 in July
⏱️ 65 days on market
Down from 72 days in July
🏠 568 active listings
Down from 608 in July
📋 98.9% of list price received
Holding steady from July
We also saw fewer homes come to market, with 226 new listings in August compared with 303 in July.
So, what does that actually mean?
For buyers, there are fewer new homes hitting the market, but August still offered opportunities. Inventory came down from July, and homes that ultimately sold moved about a week faster. Being prepared when the right home comes along still matters.
For sellers, pricing continues to be important. The median sales price barely moved from July, and sellers still received an average of 98.9% of their most recent asking price. Well positioned homes can absolutely sell successfully, but strategy matters.
The takeaway? August was quieter than July, but it was not a dramatic change in home values. Prices remained relatively steady, available inventory tightened, and the homes that sold moved faster.
And as always, Northern Colorado is not one single market. Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, Timnath, Wellington and the surrounding communities can look very different depending on location, price point and neighborhood.
Thinking about buying or selling this fall? I’m happy to help you look at what the numbers mean for your specific situation.
Clarity. Confidence. Care.
