Aurora Housing Update: Prices Ease, Inventory Builds as New Projects Advance
Aurora, CO – March 15, 2026 – Home values are down year over year as inventory builds, while new housing projects continue moving through approvals.
Aurora’s housing market is showing a mix of softer pricing and steady activity as the spring season approaches.
Top takeaways
- Average home value about $454K, down 4.5% year over year.
- Roughly 1,560 homes on the market at the end of February.
- Homes going pending in about 38 days on average.
- City Council recently approved a 30-unit paired-home project.
Market snapshot
Recent data show the average Aurora home value at $454,389 as of late February, with homes typically going under contract in about 38 days. Inventory stood near 1,560 active listings at month’s end, pointing to more options for buyers compared with tighter periods in recent years.
Closed sales in early March reflect varied pricing outcomes. Several homes sold slightly under list after 50-plus days on market, while others closed at or just above asking, suggesting buyers are price-sensitive but active when homes are well positioned.
On the rental side, average asking rent is about $1,689, roughly flat month over month and down modestly from a year ago.
Development watch
In late February, Aurora City Council approved plans for 30 paired homes on a previously open site, adding what supporters describe as ‘missing middle’ housing. The project now moves into engineering and permit review before any groundbreaking.
Large master-planned areas such as The Aurora Highlands also continue marketing new homes, with builders advertising move-in ready and near-completion inventory this spring.
What’s for sale
Current listings range from entry-level condos below $300K to single-family homes in the mid-$400Ks and up. New-construction offerings in east Aurora are commonly marketed from the upper $500Ks, depending on builder and lot.
With more listings available and days on market stretching for some properties, buyers may find increased room to negotiate, especially on homes that have lingered.
