Condominiums | A Fresh Market Perspective in Denver

As we enter the summer of 2022, we’re starting to get questions about how Denver condos are faring compared to detached single family houses.

Overall, the Denver housing market has experienced significant appreciation over the last couple years. As our homes turned into offices, schools, and gyms seemingly overnight with the onset of the pandemic and the subsequent economic recovery, it shifted the priorities many of us set for the places we call home. More space inside/outside of the home gained importance, and the increased prevalence of remote work led to a significant uptick in people moving from one market to another as interest rates dropped to historic lows. Denver was a net beneficiary of pandemic migration patterns compared to cities like New York.

Within Denver and nationally, the pandemic led to higher demand for detached single family homes and lower demand for condos. The average price of condos in the Denver metro area did not rise nearly as significantly as single-family homes did during the pandemic. Now, the average price of condos in Denver at $471,453 is almost 50% less than the average price of detached single family homes at $887,243.

While some of the typical perks of owning a condo (being centrally located, community amenities like a pool and gym, less maintenance) lost a lot of their luster over the last couple years as public health concerns took center stage, those concerns are starting to recede. With single family homes becoming significantly more expensive than condos, condos are starting to look a lot more attractive from an investment perspective, and now could be a fantastic opportunity to purchase a Denver area condo!
