What does $750,000 buy in Erie, CO in 2026?
$750,000 buys a slightly better than median Erie home: $25,345, or 3.5%, above the $724,655 median sale price for the three months ending September 2026, per Redfin. In most of Erie that means a detached single-family home built since 2000, often with four or more bedrooms.
Here is how the $750,000 budget lines up with the Erie numbers:
- Median sale price: $724,655, up 3.1% from a year earlier.
- Price per square foot: $216 at the median, down 10.5% from a year earlier. $750,000 / $216 = about 3,470 square feet. Treat that as a rough size, since finished basements, lot size and age all move the price per foot.
- Days on market: 47 at the median, down from 54 a year earlier.
- Sale-to-list: 98.6%. A home listed at $760,000 that sells at that ratio closes near $749,360, so $750,000 is a realistic offer on many homes listed in the $750,000s.
- Price drops: 46.7% of Erie homes for sale had a price drop, and 20.1% sold above list.
- Sales volume: 161 Erie homes sold in September 2026, down from 240 a year earlier.
The 80516 zipcode, the Town of Erie's own mailing zipcode, tracks the town closely: a $719,784 median sale price, 45 days on market, $216 per square foot and a 98.6% sale-to-list ratio, per Redfin 80516.
Sources and as-of dates: Redfin Erie city, Erie city guide and 80516 zipcode pages (three months ending September 2026; neighborhood medians last updated March 31, 2026), Census Bureau American Community Survey 2020-2024 5-year estimates for Erie, FHFA 2026 conforming loan limits, Freddie Mac PMMS (October 29, 2026) and the Town of Erie, all checked November 5, 2026.

Is $750,000 enough for a single-family home in Erie?
Yes, for a median-priced one: Erie single-family homes sold at a median of $769,693, per the Redfin Erie city guide, so $750,000 sits $19,693, or 2.6%, under the single-family median. You are shopping the middle of the market, not the bottom.
By home type, per the same Redfin page:
- Single-family: $769,693 median. $750,000 buys at or just under the middle, and a 98.6% sale-to-list ratio means homes listed up to about $760,000 are in range.
- Townhouse: $553,409 median. $750,000 is $196,591 above it, enough for the top of the Erie townhome market with room left over.
- Condo: $294,970 median. Condos are a small slice of Erie, and $750,000 is well beyond what most sell for.
Most of Erie is single-family. Of 11,964 housing units, 10,029, or 83.8%, are one-unit detached homes and 1,229, or 10.3%, are one-unit attached homes such as townhomes, per the Census Bureau's American Community Survey 2020-2024 estimates.
Which Erie neighborhoods fit a $750,000 budget?
Three of Erie's best-known master-planned neighborhoods had median sale prices at or under $750,000, per the Redfin Erie city guide, whose neighborhood table was last updated March 31, 2026:
- Vista Ridge: $620,000 median. $750,000 is $130,000 over it, so this is where the budget stretches the furthest.
- Colliers Hill: $715,000 median. $750,000 is $35,000 over it.
- Erie Highlands: $725,000 median. $750,000 is $25,000 over it.
- Compass: $849,450 median. $750,000 is $99,450 under it, so expect a smaller or older home here, or plan on a higher budget.
For comparison, the same Redfin table lists Anthem Highlands in Broomfield at a $1,057,500 median. $750,000 is $307,500 under that, so if you are weighing both, compare them on price per square foot and the full monthly payment.
Those neighborhood medians are older than the city data, so check current sales before you set a number. For how the neighborhoods differ on housing stock, amenities and lots, read how to choose your Erie neighborhood.
How old and how big are the homes $750,000 buys in Erie?
Most Erie homes are newer and roomy: 9,321 of 11,964 housing units, or 77.9%, were built in 2000 or later, and 5,235, or 43.8%, were built in 2010 or later, per the Census Bureau's ACS 2020-2024 year-built table for Erie.
- Bedrooms: 6,505 units, or 54.4%, have four or more bedrooms, per the ACS bedrooms table.
- Rooms: the median Erie home has 7.3 rooms, per the ACS median rooms table.
- Older homes: only 150 units, about 1.3%, were built in 1939 or earlier.
In practice, at $750,000 most of what you tour will have been built in the 2000s or 2010s. Ask the inspector to look closely at roofs, sewer lines and radon on any home, new or old.

What is the monthly payment on a $750,000 Erie home?
With 20% down, a $750,000 Erie home has a principal and interest payment of about $4,089 a month at the 7.24% average 30-year fixed rate for the week of October 29, 2026, per Freddie Mac. Add property taxes and the total is about $4,560 before insurance and any HOA dues.
The math, as estimates:
- 20% down: $150,000 down, a $600,000 loan, about $4,089 a month in principal and interest.
- 10% down: $75,000 down, a $675,000 loan, about $4,600 a month, plus mortgage insurance.
- 5% down: $37,500 down, a $712,500 loan, about $4,856 a month, plus mortgage insurance.
- Property taxes: the median Erie home with a mortgage paid $5,648 a year in real estate taxes, about $471 a month, per the ACS 2020-2024 estimates. $4,089 + $471 = $4,560.
Your real tax bill depends on the address. Erie sits in two counties: the part west of County Line Road is in Boulder County and the part east of it is in Weld County, per the Town of Erie. Metro district mills can add to the bill in newer subdivisions. See Erie property taxes in Weld vs. Boulder County before you write an offer.
Rates change weekly. Freddie Mac publishes a new average every Thursday, so get a quote from your lender on the day you shop.
Do you need a jumbo loan for a $750,000 home in Erie?
No: a $750,000 purchase stays under the 2026 conforming loan limit on either side of Erie, even with a small down payment, per the FHFA 2026 loan limits.
- Boulder County side: $879,750 one-unit limit.
- Weld County side: $832,750 one-unit limit.
- What that means: the loan on a $750,000 home is $750,000 or less, so it is under both limits. You would need a price above about $832,750 on the Weld side, or $879,750 on the Boulder side, before a low down payment pushes the loan into jumbo territory.
Check which county a home is in before you compare loan options, since the limit follows the county.
