We were recently working in the 80919 zip code. Here is what the data told us.
The median sale price for single-family dwellings in 80919 declined by $27,000 between the two twelve-month periods ending May 2025 and May 2026 — from $612,000 to $585,000. That number is accurate. It is also incomplete.
When sale prices are measured against total finished area, the picture changes. The median price per finished square foot was $226.95 in the first period across 405 closed sales, and $228.93 in the second period across 402 closed sales — a difference of less than two dollars. On a per-foot basis, value in 80919 did not decline. What changed was the composition of what sold. The volume of 1970s-built homes sold increased by 44 percent in the second period. Those homes carry a lower median price than the broader market, and their increased share of total transactions pulled the aggregate median down without reflecting a market-wide loss in value.
The median price and the median price per finished square foot are both correct. They are answering different questions. For anyone making a decision that depends on what property in 80919 is actually worth — whether that is a purchase, a refinance, an estate, or a dispute — the per-foot metric is the more reliable signal.
