October DMAR report: 2,748 closings and seller concessions on 65% of
deals
The October 2026 Denver Metro Association of Realtors report was published November 4 and received fresh
reporting attention Thursday. It was not included in yesterday's edition. This is the newly available October
report, not the older September figures. DMAR counted 2,748 closed transactions, 8.58% fewer than
September and 23.54% below October 2025. The association says this was the lowest October closing count
since 2010. New listings fell 16.70% month over month and 9.02% year over year. [10] [11]

indicator
Verified result Meaning
Closed sales 2,748; down 23.54% year over year Fewest October closings since 2010
Detached median $645,000; down 0.64% year over year Price relatively steady; volume weaker
Attached median $375,000; down 3.25% year over year Condos and townhomes softer
Seller concessions 65% of sales; average $12,557 Negotiation often occurs in transaction terms
Days in MLS 26 detached; 48 attached Attached units taking longer to sell
The most useful finding is not the median price. In 65% of October closings, the seller paid some form of
concession, averaging $12,557. Credits can cover closing expenses or interest-rate buydowns. Those benefits
do not necessarily appear as a lower recorded sales price, so a close-to-list ratio can overstate how much
bargaining power the seller retained. A separate title-company analysis cited by the Denver Gazette found an
average 7.7% reduction from original list price among properties that went under contract after a price cut.
That figure applies to that specific subset, not all sales. [10] [11]
Detached properties sold at a median $645,000 and closed at 98.55% of list in a median 26 days. Attached
properties had a $375,000 median, closed at 97.69% of list and required a median 48 days. DMAR describes
more than seven months of supply for attached homes. That is a material distinction for condo and townhome
owners, where HOA reserves, dues, insurance and financing eligibility can further influence buyer decisions
