The median sale price for a single-family home in the Evergreen, CO housing market sits around $979,609 as of late 2026. Buyers are paying meaningfully more than they did a year ago, but they're not walking away from the closing table empty-handed. Sellers are regularly accepting offers below asking, so there's still room to work out a deal.
Homes are taking about a month to sell, which means you have time to evaluate a property without the pressure of a weekend bidding war. That pace gives you room to make a considered offer, particularly if you're willing to look beyond the dominant single-family market and explore attached homes. Those dynamics play out differently depending on property type, so the sections below cover each side of the market separately.
Single-family prices in Evergreen are up sharply from a year ago, but houses are still closing below asking. Plan to pay more than last year while holding onto the ability to negotiate off the list price. If you want a stronger negotiating position and don't need a detached house, townhomes and condos are worth a look: available listings far outnumber recent sales in that segment.
You're planning to buy or sell a home in Evergreen in the next few months and need a clear read on how much room there is to negotiate and how to price an offer or a listing.
Single-family prices are up strongly year over year, yet houses still closed below asking after 33 days on the market. These figures cover the 90 days ending September 30, 2026, and they tell a consistent story: buyers are paying more than last year, but sellers are still willing to give ground. A higher baseline cost doesn't mean all the negotiating power has shifted to one side.

The attached segment tells a different story. Roughly 23 townhome and condo listings sat against just six sales in the 90 days ending September 30, 2026, and the much smaller 3.5% price gain for all home types combined points to a softer non-house market, though that conclusion rests on a thin sample. The local market is genuinely split: detached houses with firm demand on one side, a slower non-house segment where buyers hold more cards on the other.
Single-family homes in Evergreen sit at 3.2 months of supply, which typically points toward sellers. And yet houses are closing below asking after a median of 33 days, which tells you sellers don't have total control. Giving ground on price is common practice here.
For a house listed at $1,000,000, a typical closing lands around $977,000, meaning the buyer saves roughly $23,000 under asking. An offer a few percent below list is normal, not an insult that gets your bid tossed. A listing that has sat well past the one-month median usually offers even more room. Before writing an offer, ask the listing agent for the home's price history and days on market.
Detached houses make up the overwhelming majority of activity here, accounting for 51 of the 57 total sales in the 90 days ending September 30, 2026. They command firm demand and represent the most competitive corner of the local market. Buyers shopping for a standalone house face higher price growth and less room to dictate terms.
Everything else is a small, slow segment where buyers likely hold more negotiating power, though resale is harder to count on. Because individual property types like condos had too few transactions to report separately, their numbers are derived from the gap between the all-homes and single-family data. The tradeoff between these two sides of the market comes down to whether you need a yard more than you want negotiating room.
In the 90 days ending September 30, 2026, Evergreen had roughly four townhome and condo listings for every one that sold, based on about 23 listings and just six sales. At that pace, supply works out to roughly 11 to 12 months. For a buyer who can live without a detached house, that ratio means more choice, less competition, and real room to ask for price reductions or seller concessions.
The flip side is that the same thin buyer pool giving you an advantage now will work against you when it's time to sell. Six sales in a quarter are also too few to tell you with confidence what a fair price looks like, and one quarter's pace can swing sharply. Before you commit, ask the HOA for current dues, what they cover, the latest reserve study, and any planned special assessments. If you're using an FHA or VA loan for a townhome or condo, ask your lender whether the complex is currently approved.
The median price per square foot for a single-family home in Evergreen is $364. A 2,500-square-foot house at that median per-square-foot figure comes to about $910,000. That's a useful sanity check against any listing's asking price once you know the square footage.
The 2026 conforming loan limit is $862,500 for a one-unit property in Jefferson County. Anything above that is a jumbo loan, with different down payment requirements and rate terms. Get pre-approved for your exact loan amount so you know which side of that line you're on before you start writing offers.
Property taxes depend on your specific address. You calculate them by multiplying the home's market value by the state residential assessment rate, then by the local mill levy. Levies vary by tax area and fire district, so confirm whether the address falls in Jefferson County or Clear Creek County, then look up its tax area and mill levy with that county's assessor. For wells, septic systems, and wildfire-related insurance costs, our neighborhood page covers those before you get too far into a search.
Only 10% of single-family homes sold above their list price in the 90 days ending September 30, 2026. Nine in ten houses sold at or below asking, which means an aspirational list price typically leads to price cuts and extended days on market rather than a bidding war. The sale-to-list ratio is your anchor for setting expectations, not the year-over-year gain.
Price to recent comparable closed sales by size, using the local price per square foot as a check. Overpricing tends to mean your house sits past the 33-day median, and buyers with negotiating room will use it. If you need help finding the right number, the Heather & Sean Team can prepare a pricing opinion based on recent Evergreen closings.
Evergreen recently had 53 active single-family listings and 76 active listings across all home types. If months of supply rises or the sale-to-list ratio falls over the next few months, buyers gain more room to negotiate. If inventory shrinks, the advantage tilts back toward sellers. This page is refreshed as new 90-day data arrives.
The broader environment matters too. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 7.24% as of October 29, 2026. The September 2026 Denver Metro Real Estate Market Trends Report showed a metro-wide close-price-to-list-price ratio of 98.45% and a median of 32 days in the MLS. Those are metro-wide figures, not specific to Evergreen, but they confirm the broader region is moving at a similar pace.
Deciding what to buy comes down to a few practical questions about your budget and lifestyle. Work through these before you start scheduling showings.
If you have children, confirm the assigned school for a specific address directly with the district's school locator rather than relying on listing descriptions. Jeffco Public Schools provides an official School Finder tool on its Services page to search by proximity or program criteria. When you're ready to look at properties, the Heather & Sean Team can pull recent closed sales for the property type and price range you settle on.
Evergreen is an unincorporated community governed by Jefferson County, Colorado. A portion of the broader Evergreen postal area extends into neighboring Clear Creek County. Confirm the county for any specific address before looking up property taxes.
Evergreen is about a 30 to 40-minute drive west from Downtown Denver. The standard route takes I-70 East to Exit 247, then follows CO 74 South for 9.2 miles into downtown Evergreen. Test-drive your actual commute at rush hour and in winter conditions before you decide how manageable it is.
The official elevation of Evergreen is 7,162 feet. That altitude means a longer heating season and the real possibility of snow accumulating on a steep driveway.
Snowfall amounts vary by specific location and elevation within the community. Ask sellers who handles snow removal on the road, whether it's the county or a private road association, and take a close look at the driveway grade before winter arrives.
Property taxes depend on your exact location and tax area. Levies differ by tax area and fire district, so look up the specific parcel with the county assessor.
Evergreen is unincorporated, so it's served by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and crime data is reported at the agency or county level. When reviewing crime statistics, compare rates per 1,000 residents for the same year rather than raw counts. Property-level risks like wildfire are covered in our neighborhood buying guide.
