August 2025 Denver Real Estate Market Update: Trending Stability Despite Buyer Hesitation

As fall approaches, the Denver Metro real estate market continues to reflect stabilization, despite buyers taking longer to consider their options. According to the latest data from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR), August 2025 continued July’s signs of stability, particularly in mortgage interest rates, opening up possibilities for many current and hopeful homeowners.

Key Market Highlights – August 2025

Pending Sales Growth Reflect the True Market

Despite inventory and new listings dipping slightly from July, the increased pending sales reflects the August market—there are still homes being sold and interested buyers as usual. Pending sales jumped to 3,035, a 10.08% increase month-over-month and a 14.70% increase from last year. This market has meant less competition for buyers, which means hesitant buyers can take more time to compare their options and select the best fit.

Prices Hold Steady

The median close price for residential properties remained pretty consistent at $593,250. This represents no significant year-over-year change, indicating a stable pricing environment. Sellers who price competitively and present their homes well are still seeing the strongest interest.

Market Continues to Normalize

Despite the recent pace of market activity, closed sales decreased 5.56% month-over-month while the Close-Price-to-List-Price-Ratio stayed consistent. This suggests a more balanced market is emerging. Homes that are priced right, are in move-in-ready condition, and have taken time to pre-inspect big items continue to attract serious buyers.

Listing Prices are down 0.38% Percent from Last Year

  • In August 2025, the average residence sold for  $716,245
  • The average single-family home sold for $796,546
  • Whereas the average attached home sold for $446,036
 

Advice for Buyers and Sellers

For Buyers:

The next few months are a great time to explore the Denver market, as there is less competition and stabilizing prices. Acting now is key—as interest rates are estimated to decrease and competition will increase.

For Sellers:

With hail season over and cooling temperatures ahead, now is a great time to pre-inspect roofs and HVAC systems, proactively addressing any repair items and filing the reports to share with winter buyers as MLS supplements.

August Interest Rates Update

A chart representing interest rates from August of 2024 to August 2025 shows a decrease of 30 year mortgages to 6.5% and 15 year mortgages to 5.6%.

The Bottom Line

The latest report from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR) states that there are currently 13,059 attached and detached homes available in the entire Denver Metro area. Pushing a 6.69% decrease from last month in available properties; whereas the numbers are up by 21.77% from August 2024. Meanwhile, affordability remains in the same range we’ve been seeing over the last year. The median sales price is $593,250 this past month, a 0.55% increase from 2024.   Back to school is in full swing and fall is nipping at our heels.  In the last month, 4,686 new homes hit the market, a 668 home decrease. The average days on market in the Denver Metro area is experiencing a 20% increase from last month, reflecting the buyer hesitation as well as increased discernment.
