Greater Denver Metro: Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Clear Creek, Denver, Douglas, Elbert, Gilpin, Jefferson and Park counties. Attached and detached listings in REcolorado Market Watch. Report-defined eleven-county metro, not City and County of Denver-only sales, today’s inventory or a property appraisal. Original market source ↗
Build a Denver budget from the property outward
The payment on the loan is only the first line. Add the property’s annual taxes, your own insurance quote, any association dues and mortgage insurance. This edition starts with an illustrative $650,000 purchase, $130,000 down, 6.5% interest and 30 years. Its $4,200 annual tax and $3,000 annual insurance allowances are manual examples, not Denver averages. Maintenance, utilities and unexpected repairs need a separate spending and cash-reserve plan. Change the assumptions before using the result for a real home.

REcolorado’s September 2026 Greater Denver Metro report covers eleven counties, including Denver. It records a $575,000 median closed price, 2,898 closed listings and 33 median days in MLS for its attached/detached series. The accompanying article is dated October 7. A metro observation cannot value one Denver neighborhood or establish what you should offer. Compare property type, condition and genuinely comparable transactions with the actual listing documents.

Put this into my plan ↗Read actual value, assessed value and the bill separately
Denver’s assessor distinguishes the property’s actual value from the assessed value used in taxation. Assessment rules, reductions and levies are year-specific. The assessor FAQ includes a worked 2024 example; do not turn that historical formula into a current tax promise. Obtain the relevant tax-year and parcel calculation, then put the expected recurring annual total into the calculator. Keep a dated bill or written estimate beside your scenario so the basis can be checked. Denver assessor FAQ ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Check the taxing district before comparing two homes
A Denver mailing address or a metro label does not establish the property’s taxing entities. Denver explains that the city, schools and applicable special districts set levies. Review the parcel’s actual entities and charges, especially when comparing a city property with a suburban alternative. A percentage copied from another property may omit a district or refer to another tax year. Ask which charges recur and which are separate cash items; do not silently convert a one-time charge into an annual allowance. Assessment and levy references ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Give the insurance quote its own line
The Colorado Division of Insurance maintains a homeowner and HOA toolkit addressing hail, wildfire and insurance costs. For the actual home, request the proposed annual premium, covered causes of loss, exclusions, deductibles and roof settlement terms. A lower premium can still leave a larger amount for you to fund after a claim. The monthly budget uses an annual premium allowance; it does not predict insurability, a claim outcome or the cost to rebuild. Colorado insurance toolkit ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Coordinate the unit policy and the association policy
For a Denver condo or townhome, ask where the association’s insurance ends and the owner’s obligations begin. Obtain the current master-policy summary, deductibles and relevant unit coverage quote. The state toolkit separates guidance for associations and individual owners. Model a known assessment or installment in the condo workspace, then keep uncertain liabilities in the document-review list. A calculator cannot establish whether a loss assessment is covered or decide who ultimately owes it. Owner and HOA coverage questions ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Read the association’s financial story
Use the Colorado HOA Center as a starting point for understanding association records and responsibilities. Request current dues, the budget, reserve information, pending assessments and material meeting records from the actual association. The state center provides information; it does not act as your advocate or resolve disputes. Review the documents with an appropriate professional before treating a reserve balance as proof that future dues or assessments will stay unchanged. Colorado HOA Center ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Investigate metroDPA without assuming an award
metroDPA publishes a Front Range homebuyer assistance program and resources for participating lenders. Use the official program to confirm the property’s participating location, current first-loan options, available funding, education and borrower requirements. A program being described online does not reserve funds for your purchase. Keep an ordinary purchase scenario and a separately documented assistance scenario so you can see how the actual terms change your cash and debt. Official metroDPA program ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Bring the second loan into the exit plan
If an assistance offer contains a second mortgage, request its note and repayment conditions before you compare it with another financing route. Ask what happens on sale, refinance, transfer and early payoff, and whether any monthly payment or balance remains. More cash available at closing and less total debt are different outcomes. Enter only confirmed amounts in your comparison; this workspace does not determine forgiveness, subordination or program eligibility. Program resources and current terms ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Research permits before relying on future space
Denver’s e-permit service offers public permit-record searches. Use the property’s correct jurisdiction and record history to investigate a planned addition, conversion or other project. A listing description, an old permit or this guide cannot certify that a proposed use is lawful or that work has received final approval. Obtain the relevant authority’s answer and a scoped construction budget before including future space or rental income in your affordability assumptions. Denver permit records ↗
Put this into my plan ↗Compare points over the time you expect to keep the loan
Ask each lender for a written Loan Estimate covering the same loan, occupancy, lock period and date. Compare rate, points, lender fees, cash needed and the balance remaining at your chosen horizon. A lower payment can accompany greater upfront cost or a longer repayment term. Keep uncertain refinance plans out of the base case, then use a separate scenario to explore them.

Put this into my plan ↗Keep your next move with MITEY
Save or download the plan for your own records, then use MITEY’s optional enquiry to explain your purchase, refinance or investment goal. Scenario sharing is a separate choice. The public relationship stays with MITEY; any provider introduction requires confirmed availability and your permission. Bring the tax, insurance and association documents into the next comparison. An enquiry is not a credit application, approval or a promise of the lowest rate.
