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.
“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.
Rising medians, strong per-foot pricing, and more sales volume show a market that has absorbed rate shifts without slowing down much.
Centennial medians are still climbing at high single digits, which is notable given broader Colorado softening.
Sales volume is up even at higher prices, showing buyers are willing to commit when the right home appears.
Just over 4 months of supply keeps Centennial tilted slightly toward sellers, but with more breathing room than 2021-2022.
“Centennial rewards buyers who arrive prepared and ready to move on the right home without overextending.”
