More homes are sitting on the market in part of Frederick & Firestone
In ZIP 80514, inventory is up 65.2% from a year ago. That one fact changes what pricing your home well means right now.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 38 homes for sale in ZIP 80514 in the three months ending August 31, 2026. A year earlier, that number was much smaller. More choices for buyers means more pressure on sellers to price carefully.
Realtor.com reported that 20.8% of listings nationally had price cuts in September, the highest share since October 2022. ZIP 80514 is feeling something similar. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows the median sale price there dropped 10.2% from a year ago, landing at $473,500.
That 10.2% drop is the biggest price change in this market. It is not a small dip. Sellers in 80514 need to know where they stand before they pick a number.
How the four ZIP codes compare
Not every part of Frederick and Firestone looks the same. The Real Estate Data Aggregator breaks the market into four ZIP codes, and they tell different stories for the three months ending August 31, 2026.
| 80504 | 80542 | 80530 | 80514 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median sale price | $585,000 | $561,000 | $514,000 | $473,500 |
| Price change vs. year ago | -1.7% | -2.9% | -1.2% | -10.2% |
| Months of supply | 3.6 | 6 | 4.6 | 8.3 |
| Median days on market | 49 | 54 | 34 | 22 |
| Homes sold | 255 | 20 | 28 | 14 |
ZIP 80504 is the busiest part of this market. The Real Estate Data Aggregator counted 255 homes sold there in the three months ending August 31, 2026. That is up 2.8% from a year ago. Months of supply there fell to 3.6, down 0.8 months from last year.
ZIP 80530 sits in the middle. The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows 28 homes sold and 4.6 months of supply. The median sale price slipped just 1.2% to $514,000.
ZIP 80542 sold only 20 homes, down 23.1% from a year ago. Supply climbed to 6 months. Prices fell 2.9% to $561,000. Not every home sold slowly, but buyers have more to look at than they did.
ZIP 80514 in closer detail
ZIP 80514 has the most supply and the biggest price drop. But a few numbers cut the other way.
Homes that did sell in 80514 went under contract in a median of 22 days. That is 28 days faster than a year ago. Well-priced homes are still moving. The ones sitting are likely priced above where buyers are willing to go.
The Real Estate Data Aggregator shows homes in 80514 sold at 97.3% of list price on average. That is down 1.7 points from a year ago. Buyers are negotiating a little more room than they used to get.
What the national picture adds
Mortgage rates are part of why buyers are careful. Realtor.com reported rates surged above 7% for the first time since January 2025. The weekly average hit 7.4% on October 8, according to a report cited by CNBC.
Higher rates reduce what buyers can afford. That puts more weight on list price. Realtor.com also reported that active listings topped 1.16 million homes nationally in September 2026. Buyers have more to compare everywhere, not just here.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency reported U.S. house prices rose 2.6% from July 2025 to July 2026. Local numbers in parts of this market are moving in the other direction, which shows how much ZIP codes can differ from national trends.
