Summit County Market Update: June 2026
If you have been keeping an eye on Summit County real estate from Denver, here is your June update with the full picture of what is actually happening up here.
The short version: single-family prices are holding, condo activity is strong (with an asterisk), inventory is the best it has been in years, and the market is behaving very differently depending on which price band you are shopping in. Here is what that means for you.
Single-Family Homes
The single-family median sale price in June came in at $1,835,960, essentially flat at -0.7% from a year ago. The year-to-date median tells a slightly more positive story at $1,945,750, up 1.1%. Put those two together and what you get is a market where prices are holding without running away. That is actually a healthy sign after the run-up of the past several years.
Homes are taking longer to sell than they were in 2023 and 2024. Days on market climbed to 64 in June, up from 43 a year ago, and the year-to-date average sits at 87 days. Do not read that as distress. Sellers are still landing at 96.1% of list price, which means buyers are not lowballing their way to deals. What is happening is that the frenzy pace is gone and the market is operating more normally. Sellers who price right are still getting strong results. Sellers who price ambitiously are sitting longer.
A few local color notes worth knowing: Breckenridge showed a June single-family median of $1,520,000, which looks like a drop on the month, but the year-to-date Breckenridge median is actually up 10.2% to $2,162,500. One or two luxury closings can swing a single month in a market this size. Frisco’s single-family median jumped to $2,700,000 in June on very thin volume, same story. Dillon was the quiet standout: $1,520,000 median with homes selling in nine days. That kind of speed at that price point tells you demand is real in the right locations.
Condos and Townhomes
Condos were the headline of the month. The median condo price hit $950,000 in June, up 16 percent from a year ago. Eighty-seven condos closed versus 60 the same time last year, and sellers collected 98.5 percent of list price.
Worth knowing before you take that headline number at face value: Kindred, the new luxury development in Keystone, has been closing units and those sales are pulling the countywide median up significantly. Keystone alone recorded 40 condo closings in June with a median around $1,350,000, which is a striking jump and represents a big chunk of the monthly volume. A lot of that is Kindred establishing a new price ceiling at the high end of the Keystone market.
The year-to-date condo median is a more grounded read at $850,000, up 7.3%. That is still real appreciation, just not as dramatic as the single-month headline suggests. If you are shopping below the Kindred price point, you are in a different part of the market than the June number implies. If you are shopping at the luxury end of Keystone, Kindred is exactly what is setting the new bar and you should understand what that comps landscape looks like before you make an offer anywhere nearby.
Even setting Kindred aside, condo volume is genuinely strong and sellers are not negotiating much. Condos moved in 46 days in June, faster than the 52-day pace a year ago. The activity is real.
Inventory: The Part That Actually Matters for Buyers
This is where the story gets interesting for anyone thinking about buying.
There are 913 active listings in Summit County right now. That is 261 single-family homes and 652 townhomes and condos. A few years ago those numbers were a fraction of this. Months of supply for single-family homes came in at 7.1 in June, which is actually down from 9.0 a year ago as sales picked up relative to inventory. Condo months of supply sits at 8.5.
What this means practically: you have real options. You can tour multiple properties, take a few weeks to think, and write a thoughtful offer rather than a panicked one. That was not true in 2021 and 2022. The market has rebalanced and buyers are in a much better position than they were.
The Three Markets Inside the One
This is the piece I want to make sure Denver buyers understand, because it changes everything about how you approach a search.
Summit County is not one market. It is three, and they have behaved very differently over the past five years.
Under $1 million, annual sales have dropped 60% since 2021, from 1,459 to 588. Inventory more than doubled and months of supply jumped from just over one month to more than six. Homes take about 72 days to sell now versus 44. This segment is firmly in buyer’s market territory. If your budget is under a million, you have leverage you did not have a few years ago. Use it.
Between $1 million and $4 million, which covers the bulk of what most Denver second-home buyers are shopping, sales are down just 8% but inventory has nearly tripled. Months of supply climbed from under two to just over five. There are more homes to choose from, they sit longer, and buyers have real room to negotiate. This is the segment with the most opportunity right now for a prepared buyer who knows what they want.
Above $4 million is where the story flips entirely. Sales more than doubled from 25 to 56 a year. Homes are actually selling faster than they were in 2021. Sellers are holding firm at 96% of list. Recent sales include a $13 million closing on Sallie Barber Road in Breckenridge and a $10 million closing at the Ranch at Breckenridge. The ultra-luxury tier is the exception to nearly every other trend in this update. If you are shopping there, come prepared to move.
What I Would Tell a Friend
The overall picture right now is about as balanced as Summit County gets. Single-family prices are stable with modest year-over-year gains and real inventory to choose from. Condos are active with strong demand, though you want to understand the Kindred effect before drawing too many conclusions from the headline numbers. And the price band you are in matters more than any countywide statistic.
For most of the Denver buyers I work with, this market is as approachable as it has been in several years. If you have been curious about what the numbers actually look like for your specific situation, or you want to talk through what a property in a given town or price range would realistically cost right now, I am happy to get into it.
