With the median sales price of $500,000, Fort Collins still has a long way to go to catch Boulder which has a median sales price of $1,141,000. However, we’re still significantly higher than we were before so with the trajectory that we’re currently on, we’ll probably be there in 10 years. One thing’s for sure, Northern Colorado is getting more expensive.

Today, I wanted to talk to you about the top 5 most expensive cities in Northern Colorado. Let’s dive in.
#5 Berthoud, CO
This is an up-and-coming area with tons and tons of new development. TPC Colorado, a beautiful golf course with phenomenal homes all around it is booming. TONS of new constructions going on there, Berthoud is going to continue to develop and grow in the years to come.
#4 Mead, CO
This is probably going to parlay a little bit off of Boulder and Longmont prices than it would necessarily off of Fort Collins prices. Being close to Denver, it’s a great central location and still has that affordability factor that Boulder doesn’t have while being more affordable than Denver.
