Average home prices per square foot in Metro Denver

Square footage matters, but price per square foot tells the real story of value in Denver’s housing market. These charts track how much buyers actually pay for each square foot of living space over time, broken down by the total sale price of homes.

Price per square foot reveals market dynamics that total home prices can mask. A $400,000 home might seem affordable until you realize it’s $500 per square foot in a cramped layout. Conversely, a $800,000 home at $200 per square foot could represent exceptional value. This metric helps buyers compare apples to apples across different neighborhoods, home sizes, and price ranges.

The data shows how Denver’s per-square-foot values have evolved and how they vary dramatically based on a home’s total sale price—essential insight for making smart buying and selling decisions.
