Market Report

April 2026  ·  Denver, Colorado

Every month, the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing releases fresh data on how Denver's high-end real estate market is performing. Here's what the April 2026 numbers actually mean — whether you're thinking of buying, selling, or just staying informed.

What's actually happening
in Denver right now?

Denver's luxury market has two very different stories depending on what type of home you're looking at — condos & townhomes vs. standalone houses. Here's the breakdown.

Condos & Townhomes

Attached Homes

Luxury starts at $650,000+

⚖️ Balanced Market
Typical selling price $800,000 ↑ 3% vs. last year
Paid vs. asking price 99.6% of list
Homes available 445 ↓ 14% vs. last year
Homes sold this month 80 ↓ 6% vs. last year
Avg. time to sell 25 days Up from 18 last year
In plain English: Neither buyers nor sellers have a huge advantage right now. Prices are holding strong and homes still sell close to asking — but buyers have a little more time to think than they did a year ago. If you're selling a luxury condo, getting the price right from day one is critical.

Standalone Houses

Single-Family Homes

Luxury starts at $1,050,000+

🔥 Seller's Market
Typical selling price $1,390,000 ↑ 3% vs. last year
Paid vs. asking price 100% of list
Homes available 1,202 ↓ 12% vs. last year
Homes sold this month 390 ↑ 7% vs. last year
Avg. time to sell 10 days Up from 8 last year
In plain English: Demand for luxury single-family homes is outpacing supply. Homes are selling in about 10 days at full asking price. If you own a luxury home and are thinking of selling, conditions are working in your favor right now.

What does this mean for you?

Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious — here's your takeaway.

🏡

Thinking of selling a house?

Denver's luxury single-family market is moving fast and at full price. This is a strong time to list — but presentation and strategy still make or break your final number.

🏢

Thinking of selling a condo?

The market is balanced, not slow. Homes are still selling near full asking price — the key is accurate pricing from day one. Overpricing stalls momentum quickly.

🔍

Thinking of buying?

You have slightly more room to negotiate on condos. For single-family homes, competition is real — coming in prepared with financing and a clear offer strategy gives you the best shot.

📊

Just watching the market?

Denver luxury prices are 3% higher than a year ago, and inventory is tighter — which is helping hold those values steady even as borrowing costs remain elevated.

Real estate terms, explained simply

You shouldn't need a license to understand what's happening in the market.

Seller's Market More buyers than available homes. Sellers have the upper hand — homes sell fast, often at or above asking price. Denver's luxury single-family market is here right now.
Balanced Market Supply and demand are roughly even. Neither side has a big advantage — usually means fair deals for both and less urgency. Denver's luxury condo market is here right now.
Sales Ratio Of all homes available, what percentage actually sold? Under 12% = Buyer's Market. 12–21% = Balanced. Over 21% = Seller's Market. Denver condos: 18%. Denver houses: 32%.
Sale-to-List Ratio What buyers paid vs. what sellers asked. 100% means exactly asking price. Denver luxury houses hit 100% in April — buyers are not getting discounts in that segment.
Days on Market How long a home was listed before going under contract. 10 days for luxury houses. 25 days for luxury condos. Both are relatively fast — this is not a slow market.
Luxury Benchmark The minimum price to count as "luxury" in this report. Condos: $650,000+. Single-family homes: $1,050,000+. Set by the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing.
Inventory Total homes currently for sale. Denver luxury inventory is down 12–14% from last year. Fewer homes available + steady demand = prices hold or rise.
