Over the summer, the average cost of a single family home in Denver blew past $600,000, propelled by strong demand and a limited market. Moreover, the October trends report from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors maintains that sales of luxury properties — those valued at more than $1 million — remain brisk, too.
Still, all pricey pads are not moving quickly. Our look at the five most expensive homes available for purchase right now through LIV Sotheby’s International Realty excludes four homes listed on the site that are currently under contract — a status that indicates some extremely well-heeled buyers are still out there. But three of the properties spotlighted here have been sitting on the market since our last post on the topic, published in early March, right before COVID-19 hit Colorado full-force, with the joint in the top slot a repeat from our August 2019 offering.
Moreover, the tag on that home has been lowered more than $3 million, and it’s not the only one whose price has dropped. Another home is looking for half-a-million less than it was seven months ago.
Here are the five current chart-toppers in ascending order by cost, along with descriptions and photos from the site, as well as links from the original listings and references to those making return appearances.
