The Fort Collins showed some signs of life in June, bouncing back a bit after an uncertain May. On one hand, there were many positives: days on market continued to improve, median home value is not escalating unchecked nor receding rapidly, and conditions are generally balanced between buyers and sellers – this creates opportunities on both sides of the transaction. On the other hand, the single family market has strengthened over the last few months, where the attached market is struggling to find footing. Just another quirk as we enter the back half of the year, without obvious direction.

Fort Collins Single Family Market Improves, Attached Treads Water

Fort Collins Single Family Homes - June 2026
The single family market bounced back from a softer May. Sold listings were up 13.8% as compared to June 2025, even with 13% fewer actively available listings. New listings were down 4% from June 2025, and it appears those peaked back in March, so total inventory should begin to peak and regress in July. Median value was very strong, reaching $650,000, which is the highest median value we’ve seen in 2026. Days on market have slowly crept down to 62 days, and sales vs. list price ratios have crept up to 99.7, proving buyer demand is healthy and competition for attractive, well-priced listings is strong.
Fort Collins Attached Homes - June 2026
The condo/townhome market tells a different story. To be fair, 2025 was a huge year for the attached market, so in almost every way, it is hard to make reasonable comparisons. New listings were down 19.3%, and active listings were down 13.3% from 2025 figures. It appears that instead of the mid-year peak in inventory, it’ll be a steadier plateau throughout the selling season. Median value held nominally still at $422,915, down just 1.3% from June 2025.
Looking Ahead
Affordability is not improving in either market segment, unfortunately, due to a combination of steady (or slightly improving) median values and increasing interest rates. Affordability will remain a concern until there is either more inventory, or lower rates and I am certain there will be nothing groundbreaking in either metric in the near future. For the remainder of the year, it is likely the market will continue to tread water, which is probably the best we can hope for.
