Douglas County: Key Highlights

Summer is in full swing, and the Douglas County housing market remains active — but strategy matters more than ever.

🔹 More Listings, More Choices

• New listings climbed 21.7% in May (1,072 vs. 881 last year) and are up 19.2% year-to-date.
• More inventory means buyers have more options than they’ve had in recent years.

🔹 Sales Hold Steady

• Sold listings rose just over 4% in May and are up 8% year-to-date — a healthy pace in today’s market.
• The median sold price for May slipped 2.4% year-over-year to $753,500, while the year-to-date median sits at $750,000, up 1.7% from 2024.
• The average sold price came in at $889,795 for May, down about 2% from last year, but up slightly year-to-date.

🔹 Deals Are Taking Longer

• Median days on market increased to 49 days in May (up from 42). Year-to-date median days sit at 56, up from 49.
• The average days on market for May is now 68, showing buyers are taking their time and shopping carefully.

🔹 Sellers Still Command Strong Offers

• Homes sold for about 99.2% of the list price in May — still strong, but a touch below last year.

🔑 Key Takeaway

More homes on the market means more competition — and buyers are being choosy.

If you’re selling this summer, pricing and presentation are critical to stand out.

If you’re buying, you have more choices — but the best homes are still selling fast.

Summit County: Key Highlights

It’s shaping up to be a tale of two markets in Summit County this summer.

🔹 Single-Family Homes

• New listings dropped slightly in May (down 4.7% vs. last year) but are up 2.5% year-to-date.
• Sold listings dipped 7.1% for the month but are up 12.3% year-to-date — showing solid buyer demand.
• Median sales price fell 6% for May and is down 12.4% year-to-date, landing at $1.95M. However, the average price is up 6% to about $2.56M, reflecting strong activity at the higher end.
• Average days on market jumped to 79 days — a 31.7% increase vs. last May.
• Sellers are receiving about 96.4% of asking price on average, slightly down from last year.
• Key Trend: Larger inventory (+26% year-over-year) means buyers have more choices, and properties are taking longer to sell.

🔹 Condos & Townhomes

• Sales volume is up 19.7% for May but slightly down year-to-date (–2.4%).
• New listings rose 11.8% for May, up 9.2% year-to-date.
• Median sales price is up 8% for May, reaching about $845K, and up 2.2% year-to-date.
• Average days on market rose sharply to 80 days for May, a 78% jump.
• Sellers are holding firm, getting an average of 97.6% of list price.
• Key Trend: Multi-family homes continue to move well, with more new listings hitting the market but some softening on how long they stay active.

🔑 Takeaway for Summer Buyers & Sellers

• Single-family homes are seeing higher prices at the top end but more days on market and more negotiation. Pricing, staging, and marketing matter more than ever.
• Condos and townhomes are offering fresh inventory and steady pricing — a good opportunity for buyers wanting to get in before fall.
