By: Jessica Smith, Broker Associate of The Stirling Properties Team in Evergreen, Conifer, Morrison, and Golden Colorado The Denver Foothills real estate market might be the hottest market in the state. Our home values have appreciated huge in 2021. With the low inventory and high demand in places like Evergreen, Conifer, Morrison, and Golden CO we are seeing values go up as we have never seen.

Conifer – Well as you can imagine it’s a hot market in the Denver Foothills, we are seeing these values go up 15%+ within the last year alone, however it is not the norm for Evergreen.
What is driving this market?
Mainly from all the development, we have had in the last 4-5 years. I think you can see this around the Foothills. There is almost no development going on right now.

How has the low inventory impacted the market?
The low inventory has definitely helped the Denver Foothills market in 2019. The supply and demand are what are keeping the prices high. Lately, the home sales market has been very good. People looking to sell their homes can have the chance to get much more than what they were looking for. With the demand for homes at the current time, there is just a small amount of homes on the market. We are seeing prices going up quickly at the current time, however. The average selling price right now is about $420,000, which is a 7.5% increase from January 2019. If the housing market is what you want then you will definitely see prices going up in places like Evergreen, Conifer, Morrison, and Golden CO. The pace of price increases in 2019 is the highest it has been in 4 years.
Why are Denver Foothills home values so high in 2021?
Drier weather + High demand + limited homes for sale Denver Foothills is a small area that’s all surrounded by a small Denver metro area so there is a little area known as East High Park. Most of our home buyers are first-time home buyers or older homeowners looking for a large home with lots of land to keep chickens or horses on. Because of our small area, we have to drive a long way to get to big neighborhoods, but our homes are on big lots so you can get more land for less money. The other reason our home values are so high is that our home builders have kept their prices down. Not because there’s not plenty of money to build homes, but because our home buyers so price sensitive.
