As Colorado emerges from winter, luxury home sellers are embracing the season’s fresh energy. In March, new luxury home listings entered the market in impressive numbers, up nearly 38 percent from February. And yet, prices are dropping: 2.62 percent from February and 0.8 percent year-over-year, according to a report by Denver Metro Association of Realtors (DMAR).

“We are in a rocky year with a lot of economic uncertainty. Buyers are cautious, waiting and watching,” said Colleen Covell, DMAR Market Trends Committee member and metro Denver realtor. “They will only jump if a home is priced well for its location and condition. Sellers need to appreciate that it’s not the pandemic market anymore.”

Step inside four luxury homes that are vying for Colorado buyers’ attention this spring, from a LoHi charmer with Denver skyline views to a net-zero new build in Boulder.

3718 Vallejo St., Denver

Situated in Denver’s coveted LoHi neighborhood, this 1,779-square-foot gem boasts both urban convenience and private outdoor space. The three-bedroom residence centers around a chef’s kitchen with premium appliances and sleek cabinetry flowing into the main living areas. Designer wallpaper adds character throughout, and a dedicated coffee station is perfect for making morning-ritual magic. A versatile third floor loft could serve as an office space or a guest bedroom. The rooftop deck presents panoramic views of Denver’s skyline for quiet mornings or evening entertaining. The property includes a private backyard and patio ideal for gardening and alfresco dining. An oversize garage provides ample storage for your skis and mountain bikes, while the location grants easy access to LoHi’s dining and shopping destinations.

104 Old Sunshine Trail, Boulder

Set in Boulder’s coveted Sunshine Canyon, this net-zero new build harmonizes sustainability with mountain luxury across its 1.63-acre lot. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame mountain vistas throughout, while the sunken living room features locally sourced hand-hewn beams from Nederland, adding a rustic element to the contemporary design. The five-bedroom hideaway elevates modern comfort with spa-like touches in the primary bathroom, including double Duravit vanities, Kohler fixtures, and heated floors. The 4,328-square-foot home offers peace of mind through fire-resistant Nichiha siding and off-grid capability for a minimum of two days powered by a 10-kW solar system. Just four miles from town and surrounded by nearby trails, this mountain retreat promises both serenity and convenience.
