Evidence snapshot
| Metric | Value | Period | Definition or limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Active inventory | 2,002 | Aug. 2026 | Denver townhouse/condo; down 4.7% year over year |
| Sold listings | 213 | Aug. 2026 | Down 21.4% year over year |
| Days on market until sale | 65 | Aug. 2026 | Up 1.6% year over year |
| Median sales price | $360,000 | Aug. 2026 | Down 10.0% year over year |
| Percent of list price received | 97.7% | Aug. 2026 | Does not account for seller concessions or down-payment assistance |
Price and list-price retention also softened
The August attached median sale price was $360,000, down 10.0% year over year. Sellers received 97.7% of list price, down 0.2 percentage points. The metric excludes seller concessions and down-payment assistance, so the full negotiated package may differ from the headline ratio.
The metro report supports a property-type caution
Across the broader 11-county market, DMAR reported attached inventory up 9.94% year over year and a 45-day median market time, compared with 24 days for detached homes. That metro evidence is not Denver city evidence, but it reinforces the need to avoid blending the segments.
A condo decision still requires building-level diligence
The public category combines townhouses and condos and cannot describe one building. Buyers should separately investigate reserves, insurance, assessments, governance, maintenance, litigation, lending eligibility, and unit condition. Market statistics can identify the broad negotiating environment but cannot answer those building-specific questions.
