HUD homes for sale in Denver
HUD homes inside Denver proper are rarer than in the suburbs, and when they surface they draw the most competition in the metro. The neighborhoods vary wildly, from Montbello and Green Valley Ranch out east to older pockets in the southwest, and the right answer depends entirely on which one you are looking at.

It depends on the neighborhood
Far northeast Denver produces most of the HUD inventory. Southwest Denver produces some. Central Denver almost never.
The most crowded bidding in the metro
More buyers watch Denver than any suburb. Owner-occupant priority matters more here than anywhere.
Older core, newer edges
A Green Valley Ranch HUD home is a 2000s build. A Westwood one might be from the 1950s. Inspect accordingly.
Denver-specific help exists
Denver has its own down payment assistance on top of CHFA. Stack it and the numbers change.

Quick answers
Are there HUD homes for sale in Denver right now?
Yes. 3 HUD homes are listed in Denver right now. This page refreshes from HUD Home Store twice a day, and each home has its own page with photos, the listing code and the HUD documents.
Can I bid on a HUD home in Denver myself?
No. Every bid on hudhomestore.gov has to be placed by a HUD-registered broker. The Kenna Real Estate Group at Keller Williams DTC is registered and regularly assists Colorado buyers with HUD bids. HUD typically offers buyer-broker compensation as shown in the property's listing and sales documents, and we explain any buyer-broker compensation before you sign an agreement.
What loan works for a HUD home in Denver?
It depends on the listing code. IN (Insured) takes a standard FHA loan with 3.5% down, or VA, conventional or cash. IE (Insured with Escrow) adds a repair escrow. UI (Uninsured) needs an FHA 203(k) rehab loan, a conventional renovation loan, or cash. Owner-occupants using FHA can often use the $100 down program.
Every home above is a verified HUD-owned listing, checked against HUD Home Store on Oct 10, 2026 8:22 am Mountain time. Official source: HUD Home Store guidance at hud.gov; if anything differs, the federal listing controls.
What HUD inventory looks like in Denver
Most HUD homes in the city limits come from the far northeast, where Montbello, Green Valley Ranch and the newer subdivisions toward the airport were built with a lot of FHA financing. Those are typically 1980s-to-2000s single-family houses, and they are the closest thing Denver has to a steady HUD pipeline.
The rest is scattered. A ranch in Harvey Park, a bungalow in Westwood, a condo somewhere off Colfax. These are one-offs and they go fast, because a HUD home inside Denver priced under the block is the exact thing every first-time buyer in the metro is waiting for.
What to check before you bid in Denver
- Neighborhood-specific systems. A 1950s southwest Denver house and a 2005 Green Valley Ranch house have nothing in common structurally. Pick the inspector for the house, not the city.
- Denver’s own assistance programs. The city runs down payment help separate from CHFA, and some of it can be layered. Here is how the programs pair with a HUD purchase.
- Condo HOAs and FHA approval. If it is a condo, the building has to be on FHA’s approved list for FHA financing to work. Check before you bid, not after you win.
- Revitalization areas. Parts of Denver qualify for Good Neighbor Next Door, which is a 50% discount for teachers, police, firefighters and EMTs. If that is you, this changes everything.
How buying a HUD home in Denver works
The process is the same across Colorado. HUD lists on hudhomestore.gov, opens a bidding window, gives owner-occupants first priority, and reviews everything together. Your bid goes in through a HUD-registered broker, the home is as-is, and HUD typically offers buyer-broker compensation as shown in the listing documents. Start with how to buy a HUD home, then how the bidding works.
