Revolutionizing · Modernizing · SimplifyingRevolutionizing · Modernizing · SimplifyingThat is measured, not estimated - 64,149 Colorado sales that closed between September 2025 to August 2026, every one a real transaction rather than a survey or a sample.
The spread matters more than the median. 11.7% of homes were finished inside thirty days and 35.0% took more than three months, so "about two months" describes the middle of a very wide range rather than what you should expect.
| Time from listing to closing | Homes | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 30 days or fewer | 7,517 | 11.7% |
| 31 to 60 days | 22,134 | 34.5% |
| 61 to 90 days | 12,058 | 18.8% |
| More than 90 days | 22,440 | 35.0% |
A note on what "days" counts here. It is calendar days from the day the listing agreement was signed to the day the sale closed, so it includes the weeks a home spends under contract after an offer is accepted, not just the time it sat waiting for one. We publish that measure rather than a shorter "days on market" figure for a plain reason: our MLS feed carries no days-on-market value on any of these sales - not one of the 64,149 - so it is the only duration we can actually measure. It is also the one a seller lives through: signature to settlement.
The cheapest and the most expensive homes are the slow ones. Everything in the broad middle of the Colorado market moves at close to the same pace.

Sales that closed in each of the last twelve complete months, and how long each month’s homes had taken. Closings in the depth of winter are the slow ones, which is a fact about when those homes were listed as much as about the month they closed in.

The median is 65 days from the day the listing agreement is signed to the day the sale closes, measured across 64,149 Colorado sales that closed between September 2025 to August 2026. The middle half of homes land between 40 and 114 days.
11.7% close within 30 days of being listed, 46.2% within 60 and 65.0% within 90. The remaining 22,440 homes - 35.0% of them - took longer than three months.
Less than people expect in the middle of the market and a lot at the ends. Homes under $300,000 and homes over $1.5 million are the two slowest groups; everything between $500,000 and $1.5 million clears in about the same time. The table on this page has each band.
Yes, and that is deliberate. It counts every day from signing the listing agreement to the sale closing, which is the period a seller actually plans around. Our MLS feed publishes no separate days-on-market figure on these sales, so this is the measure we can stand behind.
The honest answer depends on your town, your price and your condition, and we will tell you what we think rather than what you want to hear. Ask us and we will run your address against the same figures this page is built on.
Get your numbersEvery figure on this page is recalculated from the live MLS feed at the moment the page loads - it is not a monthly snapshot. Sales figures cover residential sales only, over the last twelve complete calendar months; rentals, land and commercial are excluded, as are fractional co-ownership shares, which are priced per share and would distort every median.
