What speeds up a sale?
- Price to recent sales from day one. The first two weeks draw the most showings.
- A pre-listing inspection so buyers see no surprises. Professional photos, video and a floor plan.
- Main-floor living and move-in condition. Buyers pay for both.
- A clean, depersonalized interior for photos and showings.
How long from list to close?
- Days in the MLS, plus the contract-to-close period set in your contract.
- A cash buyer shortens the close. A loan adds appraisal and underwriting time.
- Colorado contracts set every deadline by date, so you know the closing date on day one.
Should I price high and reduce later?
- No. Days in the MLS show on every listing, and long days invite low offers.
- A reduction after 30 days tells buyers the first price was wrong.
- Price to the recent sales in your Smart Pricing Report from day one.

Step by step
How long does each part of a Denver luxury sale take?
| Step | Typical time | What sets it |
|---|---|---|
| Prepare the home | 2 to 4 weeks | Repairs, paint, staging and the pre-listing inspection |
| Photos, video and Coming Soon | 1 to 2 weeks | Weather for exterior and drone photos, and the Coming Soon period you choose |
| Active to under contract | See the months of supply above | Price band, area, condition and the first two weeks of showings |
| Under contract to closing | About 30 to 45 days with a loan; often less with cash | Appraisal, loan approval and the dates written in the Colorado contract |
| Rent-back, if you need one | Agreed in the contract | Time to move after closing, so you move once |
- Spring is the busy season. In Denver, $1M+ sales run highest from March through July. Listing in late winter catches the first buyers of the year.
- Price bands matter more than the date. A home listed just above a common search ceiling, such as $2,000,000, is missed by every buyer who searches up to it.
- The first two weeks set the tone. Most showings come early. If they do not, the price or presentation needs a look before day 30.
