Here is our monthly look at four South Metro Denver markets: Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Lone Tree and Castle Pines. A note on timing: as of early November 2026, the most recent town-level figures published by Redfin cover September 2026 (the monthly figure, with some measures based on the three months ending in September). October town-level numbers weren’t out yet when we wrote this, so the figures below are September’s. We’ll pick up October’s numbers in next month’s snapshot.
Highlands Ranch
According to Redfin’s Highlands Ranch housing market page (data for September 2026), the median sale price was about $707,000, down 1.8% year over year. 396 homes sold, up 3.2% from 384 a year earlier. Homes took a median of 27 days to sell, compared with 24 days last year. The sale-to-list ratio was 99.2%, and 22.1% of homes sold above list price. At the same time, 48.5% of listings had a price cut.
What it means: Highlands Ranch is still one of the more competitive markets in the south metro, and well-prepared homes still sell close to asking. With prices flat to slightly down and nearly half of listings cutting their price, pricing it right from day one matters more than it did a couple of years ago. Buyers have more room to negotiate on homes that have been sitting. Learn more about living in Highlands Ranch or read our guide to selling a home in Highlands Ranch.
Littleton
Redfin’s Littleton page (September 2026) shows a median sale price of about $605,000, essentially unchanged from a year ago (-0.05%). 618 homes sold, down 6.2% from 658. The median time on market fell to 25 days from 33 last year. Homes sold for 98.8% of list price on average, and 24.4% sold above list, up 7 points year over year.
What it means: Fewer sales but faster ones point to a tighter market for buyers in Littleton. Homes that are priced well are moving quickly, and some draw competing offers. Sellers in popular parts of Littleton are in a good position. Buyers should be ready to act quickly on the right home. Explore living in Littleton or our Littleton seller’s guide.
Lone Tree
For Lone Tree, Redfin reports a September 2026 median sale price of about $1,000,000 ($999,524), up 8.3% year over year. 62 homes sold, up from 50 a year earlier. The median days on market dropped to 40 from 56. The sale-to-list ratio was 97.6%, while 11.5% of homes sold above list price, down 6.5 points.
What it means: Lone Tree is a small market, so monthly numbers can swing a lot depending on which homes sell. More sales and shorter market times suggest healthy demand at the higher end. However, buyers are still negotiating, and most homes sell a little under list. Sellers should expect a measured pace and price accordingly.

Castle Pines
Redfin’s Castle Pines page (September 2026) shows a median sale price of about $977,000, up 3.9% year over year. 74 homes sold, down from 85. The median time on market was 52 days, compared with 59 last year. Homes sold for 98.1% of list price on average, and 48.5% of listings had a price drop.
What it means: Castle Pines moves more slowly than its neighbors, and with nearly half of listings cutting their price, buyers have real negotiating leverage. Sellers who price competitively from the start can avoid a long stay on the market. Read more about living in Castle Pines.
