How long does it take to sell a house in Colorado?

Half of all Colorado homes go from listed to closed within 64 days. A quarter get there in 40 days or fewer, and a quarter take longer than 113.

That is measured, not estimated - 62,130 Colorado sales that closed between November 2025 to October 2026, every one a real transaction rather than a survey or a sample.

The spread matters more than the median. 11.9% of homes were finished inside thirty days and 34.6% took more than three months, so "about two months" describes the middle of a very wide range rather than what you should expect.

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 62,130 - so it is the only duration we can actually measure. It is also the one a seller lives through: signature to settlement.

By price

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.

Month by month

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.

Common questions

How long does it take to sell a house in Colorado?

The median is 64 days from the day the listing agreement is signed to the day the sale closes, measured across 62,130 Colorado sales that closed between November 2025 to October 2026. The middle half of homes land between 40 and 113 days.

What share of homes sell quickly?

11.9% close within 30 days of being listed, 46.7% within 60 and 65.4% within 90. The remaining 21,513 homes - 34.6% of them - took longer than three months.

Does the price of the home change how long it takes?

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.

Does this include the time under contract?

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.

What would yours take?

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.

Where these numbers come from

Every 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.
