Denver Homes Selling for Under $250K Right Now

Despite the widespread economic turmoil over COVID-19, the Denver housing market is holding steady for now, according to local experts. And while prices have dipped for some properties, they haven't plummeted, especially for the least expensive homes for sale in Denver proper — those priced under $250,000.

Right now, the Homesnap website spotlights four standalone Denver houses going for under a quarter-million, excluding those only available to those who qualify for low-income buyer programs offered by the likes of the Elevation Community Land Trust. But they're certainly not move-in ready. But judging by a recommendation for "methamphetamine abatement," one of them may have a previous history as a meth lab, and others are being touted mainly as scrapes or tear-downs.

Cash on the barrelhead is preferred, too.

Here's what's available for this price point, with photos and information from the original listings.

Investor special! Great opportunity for fix and flip or development deal as this home sits on a large lot, is zoned for two units, and has good alley access. New roof already in place but will require a full rehab, scrape, addition, new build, etc. Second bedroom is non-conforming and will likely require partitioning off some of the living room to make it legit. Property has been winterized and no electricity is on, showings during daylight hours only please. Seller is looking for a quick close cash deal. Bring your contractors/inspectors in for a look before writing an offer please!
