Affordable Single-Family New Construction Homes in Denver

Affordable One and Two-Story New Build Homes in Denver

There's something undeniably special about Denver. The city combines urban sophistication and culture with stunning natural beauty and legendary outdoor adventures. With a robust economy spanning various industries, it's no surprise that many are attracted to life in the Mile High City.

The attractiveness creates a demand for housing and increases the price of homes. The city's housing market has grown significantly over the past eight years, driving the average cost of homes sold in Denver from $360,090 at the end of August 2016 to $559,014 at the end of August 2024, according to Zillow.com. That doesn't mean you can't find affordable new homes in the Denver area of Colorado.

Home prices have begun to decrease slightly after a significant increase in the inventory of homes during the first and second quarters of 2024. Despite the rise in inventory, Denver is still a very competitive market; most homes receive more than one offer and sell in fewer than 30 days.
