In this issue of Won’t You Be My Neighbor? Vida Real Properties looks at homes for sale in the West Denver Metro zip code of 80223 (see map). Here’s a hint: any residential area in the proximity of downtown Denver and close to arteries leading to downtown are hot. For this reason as well as the re-emergence of the Platte River use, homes in neighborhoods inside 80223 are at a high demand. These include Baker, Athmar Park, and parts of Ruby Hill. Below are some statistics and information useful to both buyers and sellers regarding this community.
Understand the difference between “listing prices” (what sellers are asking for) and “sold prices” (what buyers are willing to pay).
By comparing these price trends, you’ll have a good idea of where the market is heading. The data shows median listing prices above $420k but medina sold prices are closer to $300k. This could be indicative of lots of spec building going on including scrapes and new builds.
