Denver Housing Market, August 2026: More Listings, Fewer Contracts
New listings rose 6.4% while pending listings fell 11.3% across the six-county core in August 2026.
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: Compare new supply entering the county with accepted-contract activity before judging competition for a specific property.
For sellers: Use the gap to discuss launch conditions and current alternatives; it does not forecast a listing result.
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.
