Pairs accepted-contract counts with county median Days in MLS to distinguish activity volume from marketing time.
Latest published edition
Fewer Contracts, Shorter Marketing Times in Five Denver-Area Counties
Five core counties had fewer accepted contracts and shorter median Days in MLS.
Data period: August 2026. Geography: Adams, Arapahoe, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties; Boulder is separate where stated in the edition..
How to use this measure
For buyers: Use contract volume and Days in MLS together when planning tours and offer timing; neither predicts one listing.
For sellers: Use the separate timing and volume measures to plan preparation, not to promise time to contract.
Method and limits
The August 2026 edition uses REcolorado / InfoSparks monthly county exports and documents its calculations and source vintage.
Descriptive aggregate research only: not an appraisal, forecast, causal conclusion, statistical-significance test or substitute for property-level due diligence. Later source revisions can change history.
