Denver Sellers Cut Prices On More Than Half Of Homes As Market Slows

Price reductions have become the norm in Denver’s housing market, with 53.7% of active listings carrying discounts as of Nov. 7, 2025. Homes now take a median of 70 days to sell, up from 56 days a year earlier, marking a notable slowdown for the metro area.

The Denver–Aurora–Broomfield metro recorded 8,222 active single-family listings, up 17.5% from 6,999 a year ago. Despite more competitive pricing, weekly absorption slipped to 838 homes from 878 last year, indicating buyers remain selective even as sellers adjust expectations.

Inventory builds as buyer activity moderates

Denver’s months of supply sits at 2.5, maintaining seller-favorable conditions even as listings rise. The metro added 558 new listings during the week, expanding inventory and giving buyers more options than in recent years.

The 70-day median time on market represents a 25% annual increase but remains 14 days faster than Colorado’s statewide median of 84 days. Denver continues to move relatively quickly within the state, though activity has cooled from 2024 levels.

Price adjustments signal market recalibration

The median list price slipped to $680,000 from $699,900 a year ago, a $19,900 decline reflecting sellers’ response to changing conditions. At $275.5 per square foot, Denver homes still command a premium above Colorado’s $268.7 and the national $213.1 averages.

Only 2.2% of listings raised prices during the week, while 7.9% represented relisted properties that previously left the market unsold. Together, these figures highlight a market in transition as sellers work to find pricing that aligns with tempered demand.

What to watch

Watch whether the 53.7% price-cut rate rises or levels off through winter. Compare the 838 weekly absorption figure with 558 new listings to assess inventory trends. Track the 70-day median to see whether market times extend further or stabilize as sellers continue adjusting.

Use the 53.7% price-cut rate to set realistic pricing expectations with sellers and the 70-day median to frame timeline discussions. Monitor the 2.5 months of supply to identify when market balance may shift more decisively.
