Lakewood Market Snapshot: Fall 2026

Here is a look at where things stand in Lakewood this season, based on the latest local and Census figures.

Across the Denver area, the median list price in September 2026 was $569,900, down 4.9% from a year ago. Over the past month, that figure held steady, showing no change. Homes stayed on the market for a median of 58 days, and the area had 13,365 active listings, with 4,198 new listings coming on during the month. Of those listings, 6,848 had a price cut at some point.

Looking at Lakewood specifically, Census figures put the median home value at about $548,200, with a homeownership rate of 58%. The typical home in Lakewood was built around 1977. Lakewood's population is about 156,309, and median household income is about $85,789.

Taken together, these numbers offer a plain snapshot of a market with a good number of homes to choose from and some room for negotiation, given how many listings have seen price reductions this year.
