LoHi Market Report, February 2026

What this means if you're buying

• Under $600K in LoHi typically means a smaller footprint, fewer bedrooms, limited outdoor space, or cosmetic updates needed. It does not mean a brand-new, fully updated 3,000 sf modern build.
• There are real ways into the neighborhood under $600K if you are willing to take on light updates, consider attached product, or focus on long-term hold value. You are buying location first, structure second.
• Get clear on which properties are priced to test the market and which are priced to move. With 4.59 months of inventory, that distinction is where the negotiation room actually lives.

What this means if you're selling

• This is not a market to fear, it is a market to plan. Higher inventory and longer days on market simply mean preparation and launch strategy matter more than they did two years ago.
• As inventory builds, the gap between average and sharp execution widens. Properties that feel dialed in are the ones that move. Casual marketing is no longer enough.
• Position with intention, not aggression. Well-priced LoHi homes still move. Overpriced ones sit visibly at 90+ days.

Neighborhood context

LoHi is one of Denver's most established lifestyle neighborhoods — walkable, close to downtown, with strong long-term appreciation and limited land. That combination usually pushes prices higher than buyers expect. Long-term appreciation has been steady and consistent, which is why neighborhoods like this tend to reward long-term thinking even when short-term metrics soften.
