How much is a house per square foot in Colorado?

Colorado homes sold for a median of $285 per square foot, and homes currently on the market are asking $295.

The asking figure sitting above the sold figure is the ordinary state of things - it is roughly the ground sellers give up between listing and closing.

Every figure here is the median of each individual sale’s own price per foot. That is not the same as the median price divided by the median size, and the difference is not small.

By price band

Dearer homes cost more per foot, not just more in total. That is the single most useful thing on this page and it is the opposite of how people usually reason about a bigger budget.

How much is a house per square foot in Colorado?

Up, and by more than most people expect. Homes under $300,000 sold at a median $230 per square foot; homes over $1.5 million sold at $474. You are not simply buying more space at the top of the market, you are buying dearer space.

Which Colorado towns cost the most per square foot?

Among the biggest markets, Boulder is the dearest at $510 and Greeley the cheapest at $209. The full table is on this page.

Is price per square foot a good way to value a home?

It is a good way to compare similar homes in the same area and a poor way to compare across areas or sizes. A small home almost always costs more per foot than a large one nearby, because the kitchen, the roof and the land do not halve when the floor area does. Use it as a sense check, not as a valuation.

Two homes on the same street at the same size can be worth very different money. Ask us and we will value yours against the ones that actually sold near it.

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.

Per-foot figures are the median of each sale’s own price divided by its own floor area. Sales with no recorded floor area are excluded from the per-foot figures only, and are still counted everywhere else.
