Fort Collins Real Estate Market Update: July 2026

The July 2026 Fort Collins real estate market update shows stronger single-family home sales, lower inventory and relatively stable median prices.

According to the June 2026 Local Market Update provided by the Colorado Association of REALTORS®, 219 single-family homes sold in Fort Collins during June. That was a 17.1% increase from June 2025.

The median sale price declined 1.1% year over year to $660,000, while the average sale price increased 8.2% to $781,660. Available inventory fell 9.1%, and homes sold in a median of 51 days—six days faster than one year earlier.

For buyers, fewer available homes could mean more competition for attractive, correctly priced properties. For sellers, stronger sales and shorter marketing times are encouraging, but pricing must still reflect the property’s condition and recent comparable sales.

Data note: This July 2026 market update uses June 2026 single-family home statistics. The source report was current as of July 3, 2026.

What is happening in the Fort Collins housing market?

Three trends defined the Fort Collins single-family market in June 2026:

1. More homes sold.

Closed sales increased from 187 in June 2025 to 219 in June 2026. That represents a substantial 17.1% year-over-year increase.

2. Available inventory declined.

The number of single-family homes available for sale fell from 396 to 360. Months of supply declined from 2.7 to 2.4 months.

3. Median prices remained relatively stable.

The median sale price declined only 1.1% year over year, while the average price increased 8.2%. The difference between these measures indicates that the mix of homes sold affected the monthly results.

Together, these figures describe a market with active demand and limited supply, but without rapid citywide median-price appreciation.

Is Fort Collins a buyer’s or seller’s market?

Fort Collins single-family conditions generally favored sellers in June 2026.

The market had 2.4 months of inventory, down from 2.7 months one year earlier. A lower supply means buyers have fewer available homes relative to the current sales pace.

Sellers also received an average of 99.9% of their original asking price. This figure does not account for seller concessions or down-payment assistance, so it should not be interpreted as the seller’s final net proceeds.

Conditions can still vary by neighborhood, price range and property. An updated, correctly priced home may attract significant interest, while a house needing substantial work or entering the market above comparable sales may take longer to sell.

Are Fort Collins home prices increasing?

The answer depends on which price measurement is used.

The June 2026 median sale price was $660,000, down 1.1% from $667,500 in June 2025. Meanwhile, the average sale price increased 8.2%, rising from $722,390 to $781,660.

The median represents the midpoint of the month’s sales and is generally less affected by unusually expensive transactions. The average can increase when a larger number of higher-priced homes sell.

The modest decline in the median does not mean every Fort Collins home lost 1.1% of its value. The value of a specific property depends on:

• Neighborhood and location

• House and lot size

• Age and condition

• Renovations and improvements

• Basement finish

• Garage and parking

• Outdoor living space

• Recent comparable sales

• Current competing listings

A property-specific market analysis is more useful than applying a citywide percentage to an individual home.

How quickly are Fort Collins homes selling?

Fort Collins single-family homes took an average of 51 days to sell in June 2026. That was six days faster than the 57-day average recorded in June 2025, representing a 10.5% improvement.

The report’s days-on-market measurement covers the period until the sale, rather than only the time required to receive an offer.

Some homes will sell more quickly, while others will take longer. The timeline can be affected by:

• Asking price

• Property condition

• Neighborhood

• Buyer demand within the price range

• Competition from similar listings

• Inspection concerns

• Seasonal market activity

• Marketing and presentation

Sellers should pay close attention to showing activity and buyer feedback during the first few weeks of the listing.

What Fort Collins buyers should know

Buyers are entering a market with fewer available single-family homes than one year ago and a higher number of completed sales.

Before beginning a serious home search, buyers should:

• Obtain complete mortgage preapproval.

• Estimate taxes, insurance and the full monthly payment.

• Review recent comparable sales.

• Investigate the roof and major mechanical systems.

• Consider radon testing.

• Evaluate the sewer line when appropriate.

• Review HOA rules and expenses.

• Check permits for additions and renovations.

• Budget for maintenance and future improvements.

• Preserve appropriate inspection and financing protections.

The 99.9% list-price-received figure shows that sellers remained close to their original asking prices on average. However, negotiating opportunities may still exist when a home has been listed longer, needs repairs or is priced above recent comparable sales.

What Fort Collins sellers should know

The increase in completed sales and decline in inventory are encouraging signs for Fort Collins sellers.

However, sellers should not assume that every property will sell automatically or command an aggressive price. Buyers remain sensitive to condition, financing costs and total monthly ownership expenses.

Before listing, sellers should:

• Review recent neighborhood sales.

• Compare the home with active competition.

• Examine pending listings and recent price reductions.

• Address visible maintenance concerns.

• Improve curb appeal.

• Prepare rooms for professional photography.

• Gather permits, invoices and improvement records.

• Create a plan for showings and offer reviews.

• Reassess the strategy if early interest is limited.

Accurate pricing can help a home compete effectively from the beginning and reduce the risk of extended market time.

Fort Collins outlook for the remainder of 2026

The June statistics show active sales, declining inventory and faster transactions. These conditions may continue to support well-positioned sellers.

At the same time, the small decline in the monthly median price and minimal change in year-to-date sales suggest that buyers remain selective.

Conditions during the rest of 2026 may be influenced by:

• Mortgage rates

• Buyer affordability

• New listing activity

• Employment trends

• Insurance and ownership expenses

• New-home construction

• Seasonal changes in demand

• Differences among neighborhoods and price ranges

Market statistics provide context, but they cannot predict the outcome of a specific purchase or sale.
