Denver County’s median prices up nearly 15% in one month
Colorado is continuing its record-setting trend of steep increases in home prices across the state. In the seven-county metro area, single-family homes hit a record median sale price of $615,000, a 20% increase from February 2021, according to the February report from the Colorado Association of Realtors (CAR). Between January and February alone, median prices of single-family homes in Denver County rose by 14.6% (or $84,000) from $575,000 to $659,000, an increase higher than what occurred in the entire year of 2016.
