ZIP Code: 80222
Report Date: April 2026
Market Temperature: NEUTRAL
Scope: Single-Family Residential (SFR) listings and comps only


Executive Overview

The Denver, CO (80222) real estate market is currently characterized by a median sold price of $625,000, reflecting a downward trend in home values. This indicates a shift in market dynamics, as the neighborhood has decreased 8% since 2022. The median listing price stands at $652,450, suggesting a notable pricing gap that may indicate seller expectations are not aligning with current market realities.

Transaction activity appears to be moderate, with median days on market extending to 268 days, indicating slower sales velocity. The elevated inventory levels relative to sales activity are shifting leverage towards buyers, creating a more favorable environment for negotiation. Although rental demand remains stable with a median market rent of $2,449, the rent growth is flat to declining, which may be attributed to increased supply in the rental market. Overall, the market temperature is assessed as neutral, reflecting a balance in buyer and seller conditions.
