Cherry Creek, Denver Real Estate

Cherry Creek is Denver's premier shopping and dining district, with luxury condos, new townhomes and custom single-family homes along the Cherry Creek Trail. My Compass office is right here on Columbine Street, so this is my home neighborhood. I'm Adam Zaitz, a Broker Associate with Compass, and I help buyers and sellers across Cherry Creek.

Cherry Creek market snapshot

  • Time on market: a median of 67 days, much slower than last year's 26.

  • Sale-to-list price: about 97.2%, so most homes are selling a little under asking.

What that means: Cherry Creek buyers have time and room to negotiate right now. Sellers do best with sharp pricing and standout presentation, because buyers compare carefully at this price point.
