In 2025, the 10 priciest home sales in the Denver area ranged from $8.5 million to a record-breaking $17 million. 

The properties themselves, meanwhile, ranged from Castle Rock to Denver — but Cherry Hills Village accounted for half the spots.

According to data from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors, 5,567 properties sold for at least $1 million in 2025 in the 11-county region the association considers the Denver metro area. Those sales totaled $9.1 billion.

That represented a 5% increase in the number of properties sold and a 7% increase in the overall value of luxury home sales compared with 2024.

Here are the top 10, according to MLS data:
