The Fort Collins real estate market saw another strong month in July as some stability seems to be sticking around which is a welcomed sign for consumers and real estate professionals alike. While the market isn’t as hot as the weather in these dog days of Summer, it is still progressing and trending nicely as we head into the back half of 2026.

Fort Collins Real Estate Gains Stability in July

Fort Collins Single Family Homes - July 2026
Single family homes in Fort Collins did a lot with a little. While new listings were down 5.4% from July 2025 and total active listings were down 11.4% over the same period, we were able to eek out 247 sales, up 13.3% from last year. Sellers will be happy to see that median value hit $640,000; while not a record, it is still 6.7% higher than July 2025 figures. Inventory levels are pulling back from their peaks and should begin to decline and follow seasonal trends. Buyer demand has remained stable, eating away at most of the inventory, creating a generally healthy balance in the single family market.
Fort Collins Attached Homes - July 2026
The attached market fared relatively well, after having a few shaky months. It appears that the condo and townhome market is less stable but not completely scattered. New attached listings were down 21% and total active listings were down 28% from July 2025 levels. There were just 56 attached sales in July, down 11% from the same period last year. There are some silver linings to the data: monthly supply dropped to 4.0, which is indicating a much more balanced market moving forward, and median value popped up to $421,000 after some lightly depressed months. Days on market is creeping up near 100, which is indicative of the need for patience among home sellers, along with “right pricing” their listing from the start.
Looking Ahead
Affordability improved in both single family and attached markets in July, however with interest rates rising nearly three-eighths of a percentage point in the month of July, August affordability may begin to retreat. Sales figures and median values are also likely to be impacted as buyers, already strapped for cash, are squeezed a bit tighter. The real test will come after kids are back in school and the buzz of the Summer wanes. While we still expect good activity, we are watching inventory closely, along with interest rates and buyer demand moving forward.
