Revolutionizing · Modernizing · SimplifyingRevolutionizing · Modernizing · SimplifyingBetween three and six months of supply is the range where neither side has the upper hand. A home priced to the evidence sells; one priced to hope sits, and then gets cut. The asking price is doing the work here, not the market.
Months of supply is the homes for sale divided by how fast they are selling: 22,701 divided by 5,479 a month. The arithmetic is shown so you can check it.
The market sets how much room you have. The asking price decides whether you use it: 44.4% of sellers cut before they sold, by a median $25,495.
Two figures are published for the same sales, and the difference between them is the only honest measure of how much a starting price matters.
| What the data says | The number |
|---|---|
| Sold as a share of the FINAL asking price | 99% |
| Sold as a share of the price first asked | 98% |
| Sellers who cut before selling | 44.4% of 64,888 |
| Typical size of that cut | $25,495 |
| Sales that beat the asking price | 21.4% of 64,889 |
| Typical amount above asking, when it happened | $8,220 |
| Sales that came in under asking | 52.5% of 64,889 |
| Typical amount below asking, when it happened | $15,000 |
Read together: almost everybody gets close to the price they are asking by the end, and close to half of them got there by lowering it. The gap between the two share-of-asking figures is worth about 1 point - roughly $5,700 on a median $570,000 sale. Both are published rounded to a whole percent, so treat that as an order of magnitude rather than a quote.
A median of 65 days, and the spread around it matters more than the median does.
| How quickly it closed | Share of sales |
|---|---|
| Within 30 days | 11.7% |
| Within 60 days | 46.2% |
| Within 90 days | 65.0% |
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 64,150 - so it is the only duration we can actually measure. It is also the one a seller lives through: signature to settlement.
A statewide cut rate hides the thing a seller actually wants to know.
| Price | Homes sold | Of final asking | Cut the price first | Typical time to sell |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under $300k | 4,602 | 98% | 51.6% | 81 days |
| $300k to $500k | 19,251 | 100% | 48.4% | 68 days |
| $500k to $750k | 23,866 | 100% | 44.1% | 62 days |
| $750k to $1M | 9,411 | 99% | 40.9% | 61 days |
| $1M to $1.5M | 5,196 | 98% | 36.1% | 61 days |
| $1.5M and up | 3,418 | 97% | 36.2% | 75 days |
By the one measure that is not an opinion: there are 22,701 homes for sale against about 5,479 sales a month, which is 4.1 months of supply - a balanced market. Between three and six months of supply is the range where neither side has the upper hand. A home priced to the evidence sells; one priced to hope sits, and then gets cut. The asking price is doing the work here, not the market.
Usually close to your last one. Colorado sales closed at a median 99% of the final asking price. Against the price those homes FIRST asked, it was 98%. Only 21.4% of sales beat the asking price, 26.1% hit it exactly, and 52.5% came in under it by a median $15,000.
44.4% of them - 28,802 of 64,888 sales - and the typical cut was $25,495. That is the number to plan around: close to half of Colorado sellers do not sell at the price they started with.
A median of 65 days from signing the listing agreement to closing. 11.7% of sales closed within 30 days, 46.2% within 60 and 65.0% within 90. A quarter took 40 days or less and a quarter took 114 days or more.

Get your numbersEvery figure on this page is measured from our live MLS feed and recomputed every fifteen minutes - it is not a monthly snapshot, and the moment these figures were worked out is stamped at the foot of the page. 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. Market data is deemed reliable but not guaranteed - talk to us before making a decision on it.
Months of supply uses the homes currently for sale against the average monthly pace of the last twelve complete months, and is the same arithmetic the buying page publishes - it is one market. Share of asking price is a median taken across September 2025 to August 2026. Nothing on this page is a valuation of any particular home, and no figure here is a forecast.
