Golden Real Estate Market Update: October 2026
Golden remains one of the fastest-moving markets in Jefferson County. Here's the latest, based on numbers for the three months ending August 2026.
By the numbers
Median sale price: about $849,000, down 6.7% from a year ago
Typical time on market: about 13 days, compared with 14 last year
Homes sold for 99.2% of asking price on average, and typically sell right around list
The most sought-after homes go under contract in about 4 days, around 3% over asking
Don't read too much into the price drop. Golden is a small market, and price per square foot actually rose 2.2%, so the lower median likely reflects which homes sold rather than values falling.
If you're selling
Golden buyers move quickly when a home is priced right. Preparing your home well and pricing it to the market is still the way to see multiple offers.
If you're buying
Be ready to act. Have your financing lined up before you tour, because good homes here don't last two weeks.
