While December isn’t officially in the books, 2021 has seen the largest number of million-dollar home sales yet in Denver.
BusinessDen’s analysis of six years of home sale data found that the number of homes selling for seven figures in seven Denver-area counties quadrupled between 2016 and the end of November 2021.
The top sale of the year — coming in at $15.7 million — was Mike Shanahan’s former 32,254-square-foot, Cherry Hills Village mansion. It was the highest-priced single-family home sale in Denver history.
