The Denver Price Ladder: 640 Sales at $1.5M and Up in 12 Months

The ladder counts every Denver sale at $1.5M and up in the last 12 months, and the year came to 640 closings worth $1.6B, with an average of $2.46M and a top sale of $10,311,500. It is a way to see where the market is thick and where it runs out of buyers, rung by rung, instead of averaging a city together. The numbers below show how fast the volume falls as the price rises.  ## The ladder  $1.5M and up: 640 sales, $3.5M and up: 85 sales, $5M and up: 28 sales and $10M and up: 1 sale. The fall-off is steep and regular. From 640 sales at $1.5M and up, the count drops to 85 at $3.5M, then to 28 at $5M, and to 1 at $10M. The deepest part of the market is just above the floor, where most buyers and sellers actually meet; by $5M the pool is small enough that a single home can move the year's shape. For a seller, pricing above $5M means stepping into a thin market with few recent comparables to lean on. ## Who closes at $5M and up  1. **[Helm Weaver Helm](https://directory.luxuryhomesshowcase.com/listings/helm-weaver-helm)** — 11 sales at $5M and up, top sale $10,311,500 2. **Patti Helm** — 10 sales at $5M and up, top sale $10,311,500 3. **Pamela Helm** — 4 sales at $5M and up, top sale $8,150,000 4. **[Wendy Lee](https://directory.luxuryhomesshowcase.com/listings/wendy-lee)** — 2 sales at $5M and up, top sale $9,750,000 5. **[Team Dokken](https://directory.luxuryhomesshowcase.com/listings/team-dokken)** — 2 sales at $5M and up, top sale $8,150,000 Twenty-nine agents closed at $5M and up, but the top of that rung is narrow: Helm Weaver Helm with 11 sales and Patti Helm with 10 sit far ahead, and both share the $10,311,500 high mark. Pamela Helm closed 4, Wendy Lee and Team Dokken 2 each, and the rest of the 29 appear only once or twice. For a seller at $5M and up, the record shows the work is done by a handful of names who have handled the largest homes repeatedly. The ladder is a reference for setting expectations: it shows how many homes sell at each price and which agents have closed there. Helm Weaver Helm, Wendy Lee and Team Dokken are on the directory, and each page carries current listings, contact details and open houses, so a reader can go from the year's record to what is on the market now and reach the agents who work at their price. *Source: the Compass transaction histories of every Compass agent in the Denver area, as recorded on September 15, 2026; closed sales over the 12 months to August 2026.
