April 26’ - Listing Spotlight
This Aprils new listings were much less than last year (11 compared to 21 in 2025). Last year, there were 9 homes listed over a million in Old Town during the month, whereas this year a majority of homes were in the $400-$650 pocket of pricing. Even though the homes listed were less expensive, only a few actually went under contract in short order, with those homes being the ones that commanded the most urgency. So what builds urgency in a market that seems to lack it? One option is purely price, and in particular price relative to the perception of less work to be done. Homes that are well put together, well cared for, and lack a sense of “work needed” seem to sell easier in the current market. Buyers in the market these days seem to value move in ready homes more than project homes, unless the price for a project home is substantially less than they would have to pay for a similar home in the market. For buyers in the current market, there are definitely homes out there that are just priced a bit high, and time will be your friend on these homes…..be patient and strike right after a price reduction. For sellers, take the time to really test the market pricing through the use of coming soon phases and professional marketing. If you have questions about the old town Fort Collins housing market or process, I’m here as a resource for you.
233 Meldrum St B2, Fort Collins, 80521
Listed by Katherine Drake, RPM of the Rockie
List Price: $334,889
Sold Price: Active (As of 04/07/26)
Difference: TBD
These condos don’t come available super frequently in Old Town, and it is interesting that this one was listed just 2 days before another competing property in the building. The pros on this particular unit are the overall price and finishes inside, with the major con being that it is a middle unit sandwiched with units above and below. I will be interested to see which of the units end up getting a contract first between this one and B-6 listed at $375K
415 S Howes St N-901, Fort Collins, 80521
Listed by Said Zokhrouf, NoCo Group Realty
List Price: $350,000
Sold Price: Pending (1 days to offer)
Difference: TBD
Somewhat surprisingly, this condo was under contract in just 1 day. It isn’t all that upgraded, in fact it looks quite a bit dated overall, but the raw facts of being an end unit on the 9th floor are great positives for this condo regardless of condition of upgrades. 2 beds instead of one means that this condo has a higher overall HOA fee, but also has more flexibility in overall use and space.
233 Meldrum St B-6, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Emily Heinz, Downtown Real Estate Brokers
List Price: $375,000
Sold Price: Active (As of 05/05/26)
Difference: TBD
This condo came on the market just 2 days after a competing unit (B-2) came on the market at a lower price. Both look to be nicely updated, with this one being on the top floor as its added bonus. The owners of this property have set it up to live much more like a 1 bedroom with an office, as the french doors to the office space actually make the living space feel larger, while still allowing flexibility in the space for visitors.
204 Maple St 208, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Andrea Stull, C3 Real Estate Solutions LLC
List Price: $465,000
Sold Price: Active (as of 05/07/26)
Difference: TBD
Perhaps a tougher sell on multiple angles, this Penny Flats condo has a double whammy of factors that will make it a tougher sell. Firstly, the complex itself is right next to the railroad tracks, which definitely deters quite a few buyers from this building. This particular condo is also on the second floor, meaning neighbors above and below which is not the most ideal situation. The place does have nice finishes and an overall nice flow throughout, so it isn’t all bad on something like this. Still, adding a 482/month hoa and your monthly payment on something like this would be the same as a single family home with no HOA priced around $550-$560K.
144 N Bryan Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Emily Heinz, Downtown Real Estate Brokers
List Price: $535,000
Sold Price: Pending (5 days to offer)
Difference: $0
Well maintained and well marketed, this home didn’t take long to go under contract. In fact, if you were to compare this property to the last one in Penny Flats, you would likely have a lower monthly payment for a slightly smaller home, but with a garage, yard, and complete ownership to do what you want without approval of HOA. I really like this property and price and feel like this is the standout listing of the month.
1320 W Magnolia St, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Mark Keller, Remax Advanced Inc
List Price: $597,000
Sold Price: Active (as of 05/07/26)
Difference: $TBD
This one is in a very similar category to 144 Bryan but in a slightly different location and price. I’m sure the location is a big defining factor of price on this home as it is just steps away from City Park. It also looks bright and inviting inside and well maintained similar to Bryan St. There is no garage on this home, which can be a deterrent for some, especially for storage of tools, recreational equipment, and cars. I think this one is probably a bit overpriced for the market, and could see it getting more traction in the $540-$560K range.
404 N Grant Ave, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Andrea Tuell, Group Harmony
List Price: $609,900
Sold Price: Active (as of 05/07/26)
Difference: TBD
Definitely modernized on the interior, and also a smaller home in this similar high $500’s low $600’s range. Like 1320 W Magnolia, the interior looks nice and inviting, but at the detriment of garage and overall lot size (this is a smaller lot size of 4800 SQFT). I think this home will likely fair better in that $550K range.
716 Maple St A & B, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Crip Erikson, Enjoy Realty LLC
List Price: $610,000
Sold Price: Active (As of 05/07/26)
Difference: $TBD
This over/under duplex might not show super well in the photos (obviously there are tenants in the properties) but the location and opportunity is prime in my opinion. This could be a great option for a part of the year resident looking to have someone on site to look after the entire property, while also knowing that your space will be ready to go when you get there, and some of your holding costs are taken care of. I really like this as an opportunity for a homeowner who wants to work the system a little bit and potentially get themselves into a long term investment property into the future.
204 Maple St 401, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Rob Kittle, Kittle Real Estate
List Price: $925,000
Sold Price: Active (As of 05/07/26)
Difference: TBD
This is a relisting with a new broker of a property that spent a large portion of the year on the market in 2025 with no success. I think the price is in a better spot than it was in the past, although it still may be a tough sell for someone based on the proximity to the tracks.
824 W Olive St, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Emily Heinz, Downtown Real Estate Brokers
List Price: $1,200,000
Sold Price: Pending (4 days to offer)
Difference: TBD
When I saw the sign go in the yard on this one, I instantly knew that it would be short lived on the market. This neighborhood is one of the prime places in Old Town, and mixed with some smart pricing and marketing, this one was under contract in short order. Of course, no home sells itself just on marketing and photos, and this property blends a nice mix of character charm and modern updating. Add to it 5 total bedrooms (3 on the main floor) and this property intersects many buyers needs and wants in the Old Town area.
316 Wood St, Fort Collins, CO 80521
Listed by Marnie Long, Group Harmony
List Price: $2,450,000
Sold Price: Active (As of 05/07/26)
Difference: TBD
Probably one of the best and largest lots in Old Town, this home has changed ownership a few times over the past decade, and always commands max price due to its size, condition, and location. It last sold for $2,150,000 back in 2023, so now being listed at $2,450,000 might be a bit on the higher end, but not too much. It truly sits out on an island in regards to pricing as there have not been very many homes in Old Town in this price range, save a few that have sold over the years. I’d expect that this one may take a little bit of time to sell, and likely will in the upper $2.2 or lower $2.3 million dollar range.
