Howdy,
Did you contact your insurance and supply them with the police reports? If you did, it should take days to a week to show up.
If you did not contact insurance and you only submitted a police report then whether it shows up on Carfax is a gamble. Not all police departments submit the recorded data to vehicle history vendors.
You could also call Carfax directly and/or submit a data research request on the website to try to kickstart the process
Creds - worked at a dealership in Reading for 10 years, many stolen cars and I've been the guy to report, update and fix Carfax/AutoCheck reports.

Hey!
Yes, I gave my insurance a police report.
I’m looking to trade in my car, do you think the stolen title will affect the value? The car was not in an accident, low miles, and a 2020.
Called a dealership in Newtown, they asked me if it was on the CarFax and I said probably not because it was just stolen/recovered, and he said it likely won’t affect the value since it was recovered quickly, mileage, year, etc.
What do you think?

The stolen record will affect the cars value if it shows on the Carfax, but it depends on the demand for your model to determine how much.
The car may be perfectly fine. However, the pool of customers for the vehicle has been reduced because of the record.
So since it's a riskier car to try to sell, you may be offered less.
