November 2026 edition · Closed sales through October 31, 2026
By Jonathan Loewenberg · Search Denver Homes | Compass · Published November 13, 2026
A downtown Denver condo's building-wide median is a starting point for research. The mix of homes sold can change the picture considerably. In the 70 qualifying closings reviewed for this brief, Barclay Towers had a $350,000 overall median, while its two-bedroom sample had a $525,000 median.
This brief covers Barclay Towers, SPIRE, Brooks Tower and The Coloradan. It is a selected four-building sample, not a measure of the entire downtown Denver market.
The four-building snapshot
Closing window: November 1, 2025–October 31, 2026. “Median” means the middle observation, or the average of the two middle observations for an even-sized sample.
| Building | Sales | Median sale price | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barclay Towers | 11 | $350,000 | 25 |
| SPIRE | 28 | $501,000 | 58.5 |
| Brooks Tower | 16 | $277,500 | 48.5 |
| The Coloradan | 15 | $840,000 | 31 |
Why the unit mix matters
Separating the same records by reported bedroom count produces a more useful next question: which sales actually resemble your condo?
| Building | One bedroom: median (sales) | Two bedrooms: median (sales) |
|---|---|---|
| Barclay Towers | $349,000 (7) | $525,000 (4) |
| SPIRE | $465,550 (16) | $729,999 (11) |
| Brooks Tower | $252,000 (7) | $335,000 (6) |
| The Coloradan | $500,000 (5) | $929,000 (9) |
These subsets contain 65 sales. The other five records fall outside the reported one- and two-bedroom groups. Small samples, especially Barclay's four two-bedroom closings, need careful interpretation. These are different homes, not controlled comparisons: the gaps do not measure the value of adding a bedroom.
A closer look at the recent six months
For May 1–October 31, 2026, the retained sample includes 7 Barclay sales with a $350,000 median, 12 SPIRE sales with a $484,750 median, 7 Brooks Tower sales with a $311,000 median, and 3 Coloradan sales with a $750,000 median.
The Coloradan's recent figure rests on only three closings. These six months are also part of the twelve-month window above. Comparing the two medians does not establish appreciation or depreciation; the mix of units sold can change the median.
How to use this when buying or selling
- Start with similar units. Narrow the comparison by building, bedroom count, size, floor plan, floor, view and condition. A two-bedroom Barclay seller should examine the four two-bedroom sales before relying on the building's $350,000 overall median.
- Compare ownership costs alongside price. Obtain current HOA dues, what they cover, assessments and written parking terms. The building comparison guide includes historical, unit-specific examples and questions to ask.
- Use marketing time as context. Reported days on market describes these completed sales. It does not predict when a new listing will sell, and it does not include the experience of every unsold or withdrawn listing.
Sources and methodology
The source is the Compass agent-search result set reviewed November 13, 2026, using sold status, the stated closing-date range and each building's street address. Retained records came from REcolorado, IRES and Aspen Glenwood MLS feeds. Jonathan Loewenberg calculated the medians from the retained records.
Included: dated condominium closings with a positive sale price and reported living area. Repeated records with the same unit, closing date and price count once. Public-record-only entries, Listing Editor-only entries and separately sold parking spaces are excluded. The Coloradan's income-restricted Unit 728 and anomalous $3,999 Unit 1609 entry are excluded. See the full selection notes and six-month table.
Days on market uses the displayed MLS DOM field, including reported zeros, rather than cumulative marketing time. Counts describe the records returned and retained, not every possible building transfer. Data may be incomplete or corrected later. Bedroom groups use the reported bedroom field. These sales involve multiple agents and brokerages; they are not presented as Jonathan's personal sales. His documented downtown transaction portfolio is separate.
