As the number of homes selling for $1 million and up locally grows, the homes themselves are getting smaller.
BusinessDen’s analysis of six years of home sale data found that the number of homes selling for seven figures in seven Denver-area counties quadrupled between 2016 and 2021. That means $1 million also gets buyers less and less, prompting some to wonder whether it’s still appropriate to say the “luxury” market starts at $1 million.
But there’s still a fair deal of variety right around the seven-figure price point. A $1 million home in Arvada looks a lot different than a $1 million home in Boulder, or Cherry Creek.
