Revolutionizing · Modernizing · SimplifyingRevolutionizing · Modernizing · SimplifyingThis is the twenty-five Colorado towns where the most homes actually sold over the last twelve complete months, ranked by what the middle home sold for. Cheaper towns than these exist - they are small places with a few sales a year, where a median is noise and where there may be nothing to buy for months. These are the cheap markets you can actually get into.
Greeley happens to be both the cheapest of these to buy and the cheapest to hold, at a median $214 a month in property tax and dues before any mortgage. It is not the rule, either: Commerce City and Colorado Springs sell for within $23,250 of each other, and their tax and dues differ by $285 a month - $3,420 a year on the same money.

The table is a median; the town pages are the sales it came from, listed one by one. There are 157 Colorado towns with enough sales to publish.
Of the twenty-five towns with the most sales over the last twelve complete months, Greeley had the lowest median sale price at $425,000, across 1,357 sales. Cheaper towns exist, but they are places with a handful of sales a year, where a median tells you almost nothing and where you may wait months for something to come up.
That is the right question and it is why the per-square-foot column is here. Greeley works out at $211 a square foot against $286 for Colorado as a whole. A town can look cheap purely because the homes are smaller or older, and the per-foot figure is what separates the two.
Greeley happens to be both the cheapest of these to buy and the cheapest to hold, at a median $214 a month in property tax and dues before any mortgage. It is not the rule, either: Commerce City and Colorado Springs sell for within $23,250 of each other, and their tax and dues differ by $285 a month - $3,420 a year on the same money.
Between the cheapest and the dearest of these twenty-five markets the median sale runs from $425,000 to $955,000. The state median is $570,000.
Yes - every town in the table has its own page listing the individual sales, so you can check the median against the homes it came from rather than taking our word for it.
Tell us the town and what you are after, and we will show you what is actually on the market there - and what the homes like it have been selling for.
Get your numbersEvery figure on this page is measured from our live MLS feed and recomputed every fifteen minutes - it is not a monthly snapshot, and the moment these figures were worked out is stamped at the foot of the page. Sales figures cover residential sales only, over the last twelve complete calendar months; rentals, land and commercial are excluded, as are fractional co-ownership shares, which are priced per share and would distort every median. Market data is deemed reliable but not guaranteed - talk to us before making a decision on it.
The ranking covers the twenty-five towns with the most closed sales, not every town in Colorado. That is deliberate: a median taken over four sales is not a market figure, and a town you cannot buy into is not an answer to this question.
