Sell My House in Denver, CO: Real Numbers Before You Pick a Path

What Denver's Market Looks Like for Sellers in 2026

Denver has flipped to a buyer's market. The median sale price sits near $533,667. Home values are down about 4.3% year over year. 61.5% of homes are closing below their asking price. A typical listing goes pending in about 30 days, with roughly 2.9 months of supply on the market. Inside the city, the swings are sharp: Washington Park is up 2.1% year over year. Highland is down 6.2%. Same city, opposite directions. The fastest-moving ZIP codes over the last six months are 80230, 80227, 80207, and 80236, each posting 40-42 day medians. Here's what that means for a seller: when most homes close below asking, your outcome comes down to pricing accuracy and full buyer exposure. Not momentum.

What Selling a House Actually Costs in Denver

Here's the real number: on a $533,667 sale, a 6% commission runs roughly $32,000. Colorado's government fees don't even compare. There's no state real estate transfer tax. Denver, Jefferson, and Adams counties add no local transfer taxes either. What you do pay at recording is Colorado's documentary fee under C.R.S. 39-13-102: one cent for every $100 of the sale price, paid to the county clerk and recorder. That's about $54 on a median Denver sale, and it's waived entirely if the consideration is $500 or less. Closings run through a title company. Colorado doesn't require an attorney. You'll also complete the state's Seller's Property Disclosure (SPD) form before closing. Total traditional selling costs commonly run 7-9% of the sale price, and the commission line is almost all of it. That $54 documentary fee is a rounding error next to a $32,000 commission check.

Where Cash Flow Deals Fits for Denver Sellers

You choose between the Fast Cash Offer, where we buy your Denver house as-is and close, and the Premium Cash Offer, where a pre-approved FHA or conventional buyer we already have, ready to go, pays more and buys directly from you. With Denver values sliding about 4.3% a year and 61.5% of Denver homes closing below asking, Cash Flow Deals helps you compare both offers by what you would take home.

For either offer, the number is agreed before any work starts, and it changes only if you agree. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. We cover repair costs, and we figure out a way, so nothing comes out of your pocket. With Premium, only what the buyer's lender requires gets fixed, with costs covered up front and settled from the sale proceeds from our share. With Fast Cash, we buy your house as-is, with no repairs for you to make.

Here's how Cash Flow Deals works for you: we review your Denver property and put both offers in writing so you can choose. If you choose Premium, you give us permission to bring a buyer in our place. That buyer signs a new contract directly with you, title transfers directly from you to them, and their lender funds the purchase. If the buyer's loan falls through, that is our problem, not yours, and you can still take the Fast Cash Offer at its own number, alongside the Premium Cash Offer you compared.

At closing, anything owed against the house, including your payoff, liens, taxes, fees, closing costs, commissions and required repairs, is paid first from the sale proceeds. You then receive your agreed number, and Cash Flow Deals is paid last from what is left. The one exception: if something structural surfaces that was not visible or disclosed before we signed — foundation issues, hidden moisture, old wiring, cast-iron drain failure — we re-cost it and bring the number back to you. You decide. You can walk away. We disclose what we know at offer time so this almost never happens. On Premium, those costs come from our share, not your number. If the sale does not leave enough to cover our share, that is on us. Your Colorado documentary fee, title work, and SPD disclosure requirements still apply. The current Denver market's 60-75 day window gives you context for comparing timing; your closing date depends on the offer you choose. Tell Cash Flow Deals about your Denver property and we'll put both offers and the costs side by side before you commit.
