But some buyers don’t have to mind the state of the market or a budget — at least, not the way most of us do. Just look at the top ten most expensive homes sold in metro Denver and Boulder so far this year, all of which went for over $6 million.
February and June were the most popular months for these pricey sales with each month having at least three of the ten most expensive homes sold.
The most expensive home purchased this year was in Cherry Hills Village where many of Denver’s professional athletes are known to live, including retired Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning who purchased a second home there last fall for $5 million. Cherry Hills boasts five of the ten most expensive home sales in 2024, including one that sold for nearly $9 million.
In Denver proper, no homes west of Interstate 25 made the list, while Boulder has two homes in the top ten.
