in Centennial, CO
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 homes go under contract in under two weeks and buyers do not get a lot of do-overs.
A south-Denver suburb
with steady prices and strong competition.
Redfin describes the Centennial housing market as very competitive. Over the three months ending July 2026, the median sale price was about $675,000, down 1.5 percent year over year, and homes sold in around 12 days on average compared with 13 days a year earlier.
The median sale price per square foot was about $241, down 5.5 percent year over year, with 470 homes sold in July 2026 versus 475 a year earlier. Homes draw about 3 offers on average and the typical sale closes at 99.8 percent of list price, still a seller-leaning but more orderly 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.
“Centennial is where the south-metro still feels competitive, but with enough balance to plan.”

Why Centennial feels like
a still-strong south-metro market.
A professional sports training center, new trail connections under Arapahoe Road, and a transportation-funding measure headed to voters show a city still investing in what makes it livable.
Denver Summit FC, the NWSL expansion club, opened the CommonSpirit Performance Center at Centennial's Potomac Park in June 2026, bringing a professional training facility and its staff to the city.
Construction of the Lone Tree Creek Trail underpass beneath E. Arapahoe Road continued through 2026, part of a push to connect neighborhoods to the regional trail network without crossing arterial traffic.
City Council sent a sales and use tax measure to the November 2026 ballot focused on funding transportation infrastructure, a signal of where the city plans to invest next.
“Centennial rewards buyers who arrive prepared and ready to move on the right home without overextending.”
Centennial mortgage FAQs
Are Centennial home prices still rising?+
Not at the moment. Redfin's data for the three months ending July 2026 shows medians down 1.5 percent year over year and price per square foot down 5.5 percent year over year, small moves that read as a flat market rather than a downturn.
How fast do homes sell?+
Fast. Around 12 days on average in Redfin's data for the three months ending July 2026, so the best-prepared buyers move quickly.
Do I need a jumbo loan to buy in Centennial?+
Sometimes, especially in move-up price ranges. We compare conforming and jumbo options based on your target price and down payment.
How do school zones affect my approval?+
School boundaries do not directly affect approval, but they shape which neighborhoods we target and how we structure offer strategies for competitive submarkets.
When should I refinance a Centennial home?+
When the new rate and terms clearly improve your long-term cost or flexibility. We compare multiple scenarios before recommending a refinance.
