🏡 MESA COUNTY REAL ESTATE — JULY 2026 ONE REPORT
The numbers are in, and there’s no question: our market looks different than it did a year ago.
📈 Active listings are up 21% with 940 homes currently on the market.
🏠 289 homes sold in July — down just 2.8% from last year.
💰 Median sales price: $428,000, down only 0.9% year-over-year.
📊 Average sales price: $499,664, down 4.8%.
⏱️ Average days on market actually improved to 87 days, compared to 102 last July.
📦 Inventory is now at 3.25 months of supply, up from 2.61 months last year.
So what does all of this actually mean?
We have more inventory and more competition among sellers, but buyers are absolutely still buying. In fact, despite having 21% more homes to choose from, total sales were only down 2.8%.
For sellers, pricing, condition, presentation and marketing matter more than they have in years. The days of simply putting a home on the MLS and waiting for multiple offers are largely behind us.
For buyers, this is one of the better environments we've seen in a while. There are more choices, less pressure, and more opportunities to negotiate — while home values have remained relatively stable.
This isn't a dead market. It's a market that requires a better strategy.
If you're thinking about buying or selling in Mesa County and want to know what these numbers mean for your situation, shoot me a message. I'm always happy to talk real estate.
