This Week in Central Park Real Estate 9.4.20
I can’t believe it’s already Labor Day weekend! Since we just turned the page on August, I wanted to pause and reflect on the overall state of the Denver metro real estate market.
If you haven’t heard, many Denver homes are selling quickly and for elevated prices these days. In fact, Denver posted a number of real estate records in August:
– August 2020 saw the most home sales of any month of August on record
– Meanwhile, housing inventory hit the lowest point for any month of August on record with 40% less homes on the market than last year
– The average single family home price hit a new record high of $606,330
Wow!
If you’ve been following our Friday real estate updates on the Scoop, you also know that Central Park real estate is performing well. Of course, real estate is hyperlocal, and anecdotally what our brokers at Focus Real Estate have seen is that well-priced homes with desirable floor plans, upgrades, yards, and locations can, if everything aligns, have multiple bidders and sell quickly. Other homes are selling on more normal sales cycles.
This is a long way of saying that while it is a seller’s market, it’s more important than ever to strategically update your home to reflect what’s attractive to today’s buyers. As just two examples of home trends we’re seeing, extra office/work from home/remote classroom space is extremely desirable right now, as are great outdoor living spaces. While these aren’t always easy to add to your current home, maybe now is the time to start the process.
If you happen to be one of those buyers looking for an updated home, be sure to check out Lisa Palladino’s tour of a Thrive model revive home in North End. Or if you’re house hunting up in the mountains, Joe Phillips sat down with Todd Rankin with Cornerstone Real Estate in Breckenridge to chat about Summit County real estate.
Last, on a non-real estate note, want to know one of my favorite Scoop articles so far this year? Check out Kailee Ackerman’s article about every 7+ seat vehicle out there. I’m constantly hurting for car space – between staging gear, sports gear, and 3 kids, sometimes I feel like I need a U-Haul just to get around. Kailee does a great job of breaking down all your different options.

The “Why you live in Colorado” Home (5085 Valentia Street, Denver, CO 80238)
Why do you live in Colorado?
If you’re not sure what the answer to that question is, all you have to do is go up to the third floor of this Parkwood Newbury townhome and step out onto the viewing deck. When you’re on the deck, you’ll be greeted by unobstructed, booming mountain and downtown views.
Imagine summer sunsets, maybe watching storms roll in, all from your own private oasis in the sky. And if you work from home like I do, imagine taking calls or Zooming from the roof with Mt. Evans looming in the background. Perfectly wonderful, and perfectly Colorado!
This 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom, 3,800+ square foot end unit home sits at the entryway to one of Central Park’s biggest parks, Prairie Meadows Park, and overlooks the Valentia Street greenway and walking path that leads into the park.

In the evening? Maybe a glass of wine as the summer evening grows dark.
The master bathroom is a special surprise as well with a five-piece bath set, heated flooring, and beautiful tile throughout.

Disclaimer:
Our Friday real estate updates are meant to be a “roundup” type post where we discuss all listings in Central Park, not just our own. It’s our way of making sure we follow the market closely and we share it with the Scoop readers because we know many of you like to track real estate in the area as well. Many of the listings in these posts are not our company’s listings and we wanted to mention that here to make sure it’s clear. Thanks for reading the Scoop!
