With March 2026 data now in, pending home sales — a leading indicator of buyer demand — tell an interesting story. Denver sits essentially flat year-over-year (-0.2%), right in the middle of the pack among major metros. Markets like Washington DC, Dallas, and Phoenix are showing the strongest demand recovery, while New York, Seattle, and several Sun Belt markets that surged post-pandemic are pulling back meaningfully.

On price, Denver’s median sale price of $589,000 is also essentially flat YoY (-1.0%), reflecting a market that has largely stabilized rather than correcting sharply or accelerating.

The takeaway for buyers and sellers: Denver is a balanced, steady market right now — not the frenzied seller’s market of 2021-22, but also not the softening story you’re seeing in places like Tampa or Orlando.
