Mile High Home Group – Welcome to Denver

The average home price in Highlands Ranch sits around $700,000-$750,000 for single-family homes as of late 2025, with medians near $710,000 reflecting steady demand in a market down slightly from peaks but holding firm through Colorado housing market cycles.​

Price Breakdown by Home Type

After 15+ years in Denver real estate and thousands of transactions, I’ve analyzed Highlands Ranch sales to see patterns across its villages. Single-family two-stories and ranches (2,500-4,000 sq ft, 3-5 beds) dominate at $650,000-$850,000, with updated kitchens and basements pushing higher. Townhomes and smaller ranches start $500,000-$600,000, ideal for empty-nesters; luxury estates in gated spots hit $1M+. HOA fees ($150-$400) factor into affordability, covering trails and rec centers that boost value. Compared to Littleton real estate medians around $680,000, Highlands Ranch commands a premium for newer builds and amenities.​​

Prices dipped 2-5% year-over-year from high inventory, but school zones near Mountain Vista hold strongest.​

Market Influences and Comparisons

Douglas County growth and C-470 access keep turnover brisk—homes sell in 20-40 days, faster than broader Denver real estate. Highlands Ranch real estate suits families with top-rated schools (9-10/10 ratings), unlike varied Littleton pockets. Low crime, 140 miles of trails, and rec centers underpin resilience; off-peak winters see softer pricing, spring rebounds.​

Townhomes appreciate steadily at 4-6% annually, ranches quicker in family villages.

Practical Advice for Buyers and Sellers

Buyers, target $650,000-$750,000 in school feeders—review 12-month sales history, negotiate HOA transfers. Test village vibes; prioritize east-facing backyards for light. Families lock rates now amid slight dips.

Sellers, price to recent comps ($700K median benchmark)—stage garages and yards, disclose rec perks. List pre-summer for peak family demand; highlight trails/schools for broad appeal.

Clients are long-term relationships and friends, not transactions—integrity, honesty, transparency, and relentless work ethic deliver clear numbers.
