Denver is outpacing the broader metro on price and sales

By Joanne Jordan

Real estate, 80220 - Denver

The headline number for the Denver metro looks rough. The Colorado Association of Realtors reported that metro closed sales dropped 18.7% year over year in September. That is a real decline. But it is not the whole story for every part of the city.

In 80220, the Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 168 homes sold in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 11.3% from the same three months in 2025. Sales here moved in the opposite direction from the broader metro.

Price is the bigger story

The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price in 80220 at $718,115 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 15.4% from a year before. The Colorado Association of Realtors put the Denver metro median at $565,000 in September. The gap between 80220 and the broader metro is meaningful.

A 15.4% price gain is notable. It tells you that buyers in this ZIP code competed for homes even as the broader market softened. Pricing your home to the metro average would leave money on the table.

Homes are taking a little longer to sell

The Real Estate Data Aggregator recorded a median of 39 days on market in 80220 for the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is 11 days longer than the same period in 2025. Not every home sold fast. Pricing still matters.

That said, 37.7% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing, according to the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That share is up 7.1 points from a year before. Well-priced homes are still finding buyers quickly.

Supply stayed tight

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 180 homes for sale in 80220 during the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is down 3.2% from a year before. New listings rose 12.6% to 206, so sellers came to market. Buyers absorbed them.

Months of supply came in at 3.3, down 0.5 months from a year before, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Below four months generally favors sellers. This ZIP held that line.

One more number worth knowing

Realtor.com reported that 31.5% of Denver metro listings saw a price cut in September 2026. That is a real share of sellers adjusting. In 80220, the sale-to-list ratio held at 97.9%, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. The two numbers can coexist: some sellers overshoot, then correct.

Mortgage rates are also part of the picture. Redfin reported a weekly average rate of 7.32% for the four weeks ending October 25, 2026. That shapes what buyers can spend. It is one reason pricing precisely matters more now than it did two years ago.

One more thing. One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP code. The numbers above cover all of 80220. Your block, your home type, your price range may sit above or below these figures. That is worth knowing before you pick a number.
