Denver Expire report for September

Published On: October 6, 2026|Categories: Events, Market report, Real Estate, Real Estate Market Update|

For This September.

listings expired for every 10 homes that sold
in Denver Metro in September.

Two years ago it was 3.4.

September’s MLS numbers are in. Everybody reports what sold. This month I went looking for what did not sell.

Across the six Denver Metro counties, 1,857 listings expired in September against 2,874 closed sales. Add the 526 listings sellers withdrew, and 45% of the listings that left the market last month left without a sale.

That is the conversation your sellers need to hear before they pick a list price, and I put the whole thing in a report you can hand them.

 Things That Stood Out

1
Expirations did not surge. Closings fell.
Expired listings were up 4% from last September. Closed sales were down 17.5%. About the same number of sellers ran out of time while fewer buyers finished.
2
Denver County and condos crossed the line.
More listings expired than sold in both: 608 to 599 in Denver County and 449 to 326 for condos.
3
The expired homes were not different homes.
Same size, same age. They started about 10% above comparable closed sales. The homes that sold started about 5% above.
4
The homes that sell are selling fine.
Sellers who never cut the price went under contract in a median 9 days. Sellers who had to cut first took 67 days.
