Per DMAR’s 2026 data, homes across the Denver metro are averaging 53-74 days on market before going under contract. Once under contract, closing takes 30-45 days for financed buyers. Total timeline from list to close: typically 3-4 months.
That said, well-priced, well-presented homes in top neighborhoods (Washington Park, Highland, Cherry Creek, Highlands Ranch) still go under contract in under a week. The 53-74 day average is dragged up by overpriced listings and properties with deferred maintenance. Per CAR, 57% of Denver listings had a price reduction in 2025 — almost all of those took longer than 60 days to sell.
