Centennial is a popular south-Denver suburb with strong schools, established neighborhoods, and quick-moving listings. We help you compete intelligently in a market where prices are up and buyers do not get a lot of do-overs.

The Centennial Market

A south-Denver suburb
with higher prices and strong competition.

Redfin describes the Centennial housing market as very competitive. In February 2026, the median sale price was about $666,000, up 9.0 percent year over year, and homes sold in around 43 days on average compared with 23 days a year earlier.

The median sale price per square foot was about $266, up 6.0 percent year over year, with 97 homes sold in February versus 79 a year earlier. Recent 30-day stats from another data provider show medians near $650,000 with median days on market around 32 and months of supply just over 4 — still a seller-leaning but more balanced environment than 2021-2022.

Neighborhoods sharing the Centennial name in nearby cities (Littleton and Loveland) show different medians and dynamics, so it is important to anchor decisions in the Centennial, CO city data — not just a ZIP label.
