Quicklinks
This section provides median home pricing data from 1997 to date for the ten communities we cover. No matter what kind of home you’re looking for, these data will help you understand what you can expect to pay and how the pricing has changed over the years.
We also break out data showing how home prices in the area were impacted by the 2008 Great Recession and how they bounced back afterwards.
Finally, we include data on the history of housing prices in the Boulder County and Denver metro areas since 1980 and how these local appreciation rates compare with state and national trends.

Boulder Area Average Home Prices vs. State of Colorado and National Averages
We’ve assembled the charts in this section using data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s “House Price Index.” The index uses sophisticated appraisal data to track home prices nationally. Rather than looking at median prices in an area like Boulder County, the Agency generates its quarterly data by looking at all sales/appraisals completed for conventional loans. They compare the appraised value for each home with prior appraisals of the same home completed in the past. In these charts, we provide a price comparison of Boulder County, the Denver metro area, the state of Colorado, and the United States as a whole. For similar data, comparing the Denver metropolitan area to 19 other cities in the United States, check out the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index.
