Executive Overview

As of February 2026, the real estate market in Denver, CO (ZIP: 80206) is characterized by a median sold price of $1,037,250, reflecting a stable market despite a down trend in prices year-over-year. This indicates a shift towards a more balanced environment where properties are selling at prices that align more closely with current market conditions rather than previous highs. The market's liquidity appears to be moderate, with a notable 222 days on market for sold properties, suggesting slower sales velocity and a potential adjustment period for both buyers and sellers.

The inventory landscape shows elevated levels of supply relative to sales activity, which may indicate a cooling off from the previous rapid appreciation phase. While the median listing price stands at $1,337,500, the gap between listing and sold prices suggests some pricing friction, as sellers may need to recalibrate expectations to align with buyer sentiment. Overall, the market sentiment remains neutral, with modest potential for appreciation as we approach the late spring months.
