More homes sold even as prices eased in the main part of this market

Real estate, Primary market

The biggest thing to know right now: more homes are selling, but buyers are paying less than they were a year ago. That means pricing your home right matters more than ever. These numbers cover the three months ending August 31, 2026.

Freddie Mac put the 30-year fixed rate at 7.40% on October 15, 2026. That is a real cost. Yet sales kept climbing across this market. Buyers are out there. They are just more careful about price.

80487: more sales, lower prices

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 158 homes sold in ZIP 80487 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 22.5% from the same months of 2025. Sales volume is clearly moving.

The median sale price in 80487 was $1,050,000, down 9.5% from a year before, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Prices dipped. That is a real admission. But deals are getting done.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 199 pending sales in 80487 in that same period, up 20.6% from 2025. The pipeline of deals in progress is strong. Homes are taking a little longer, 33 days at the median, but they are selling.

Only 7% of homes in 80487 sold above list price, down 4.6 points from a year before, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Bidding wars are rare now. Sellers who price to the market are the ones closing.

81639: prices up, but homes are taking longer

ZIP 81639 told a different story. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median sale price there at $630,000, up 5.9% from a year before. That is the one ZIP in this market where prices rose.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 13 homes sold in 81639, up 18.2% from 2025. Pending sales jumped too, up 111.1% year over year. That is a small base, so the percentage is large, but the direction is clear.

Homes in 81639 sat on the market a median of 55 days, 24 days longer than the same period last year, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Patience is part of the deal here. The sale-to-list ratio was 96.8%, up 1.5 points, so sellers are getting close to asking once a buyer arrives.

80467: fastest sales, fewer listings

ZIP 80467 had the quickest pace. The Real Estate Data Aggregator put the median days on market at 30 days, 25 days shorter than a year before. That is a big shift toward speed.

The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 13 homes sold in 80467, up 30% from 2025. New listings fell 11.1% at the same time. Fewer homes came to market, and the ones that did moved quickly.

The median sale price in 80467 was $960,000, down 6.5% from a year before, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. Prices eased here too. The sale-to-list ratio was 97.6%, up 0.5 points, so sellers are holding close to their asking price once they find a buyer.

80477: what the websites say

The Real Estate Data Aggregator has no numbers for ZIP 80477. The story for that part of the market comes from websites alone.

Nationally, the National Association of Realtors reported existing-home sales reached 3.99 million units in September 2026. Inventory nationally rose to 1.60 million homes that same month. Existing-home prices were up 1.3% nationally, per the National Association of Realtors.

Realtor.com reported for-sale listings growing nearly 7% year over year nationally for the week ending October 10, 2026. More supply is arriving across the country, and that pattern likely touches 80477 too.

How the three ZIP codes compare

What this means for you

Sales are up across all three ZIP codes with data. That is real demand, even with a 7.40% rate from Freddie Mac. But prices are down in two of three ZIP codes. Buyers are active and disciplined.

For sellers, the data says price carefully. Homes priced right are closing. The sale-to-list ratios in all three ZIP codes are near 97%, per the Real Estate Data Aggregator. That means overpricing costs you.

For buyers, more supply is arriving. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 343 homes for sale in 80487 alone. You have more to choose from than a year ago.

These are ZIP-code numbers. One street can read very differently from the whole ZIP. A home on one block may have sold faster or slower than the median. The numbers above are the starting point, not the whole picture.
