Where these numbers come from

Every 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.

These figures were worked out from the live MLS feed at September 22, 2026 at 6:03 PM Mountain time, and are recomputed every fifteen minutes.
