Colorado's August 2026 market tipped further toward buyers. Closed sales fell across the state and homes took longer to sell, while the statewide median price held steady and active inventory dropped. Buyers had more room to negotiate, and sellers who priced to the current set were the ones who moved.

How to use these numbers in a listing appointment
A statewide number is context, not a price. The seller's question is what their home will sell for against the homes a buyer would cross-shop. Put the two together: 4.8 months of supply and 65 days to sell tell a seller the market has choice and time, and the local competitive set tells them which choice a buyer makes. That is what a CMA built for the appointment shows on one screen, price against odds and supply, instead of a single number a seller can argue with.
For sellers who want to see the market before they list, start with the seller CMA. For the full pricing story you can present live, print and share, see listing presentation software. For the national backdrop, see U.S. housing market statistics.
