Your starting asking price should be defensible against similar sales and competing listings. I want you to understand that choice before committing to it, rather than relying on a townwide price alone.
Denver's September 2026 median list price for listings active at month-end was $524,990. The median sold price for that month was $575,000. Both measures cover single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments in Denver. List prices and sold prices describe different property groups, so their difference does not establish a negotiated discount.
Completed sales help ground your price discussion, while competing listings show the alternatives a prospective buyer may consider. Neither townwide price accounts for your home's particular condition, layout or features. Starting with an ambitious asking price deserves a clear rationale and a plan for reviewing the response.
Gather a record of improvements and known repair needs so we can consider your home's condition accurately. Review recent sales of similar homes with me, then examine competing listings separately. Decide what feedback would justify reconsidering your asking price, without treating every comment as a valuation.
