Pricing saw slight decreases in most areas, with Denver seeing a 1.7% reduction in median sold price and the South Metro inching up 1.9%. Meanwhile, Northern Colorado, West Metro Foothills, and Colorado Springs saw varied declines compared to 2025—creating new opportunities for discerning buyers. Paired with an uptick in inventory, the state’s enduring lifestyle appeal continues to draw interest while giving buyers more room to explore, compare, and act with intention.
Northern Colorado emerged as a clear standout, building momentum with 122 luxury sales year-over-year. Denver Metro led the charge with 1,060 transactions, followed by 238 in South Metro. Boulder added to the activity with 212 luxury homes sold, reinforcing its position as a perennial favorite.

From intimate cabins tucked into the trees to contemporary condominiums and iconic ski-in/ski-out estates, these destinations offer a lifestyle that feels both elevated and effortlessly connected to nature. It’s this balance of scenery, recreation, and community that keeps buyers returning season after season.

In Crested Butte, luxury transactions increased by 37.5% following a period of stability in 2025, however a 69.6% increase in days on market signals that buyers are being strategic.
