How we rank a house
What puts a Denver house first
We start with every house in the City of Denver that carries a signal. Then we look for the same house on a second list, and a third. A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, is a different conversation than either signal alone. Those are the houses a small mail or call budget goes to first.
Counts as of November 13, 2026. Recently sold houses are left out.
What the data says
Denver, by the numbers
Observations computed from the flagged houses, not opinions. They move when the data does.
Unpaid tax is the widest net: 93% of flagged houses
5,331 houses in Denver carry unpaid property tax. On its own that is a slow signal; it sharpens fast when the same house carries a second one.
58% of flagged owners don't live in the house
3,337 houses have an owner whose mail goes somewhere else, and 346 of those owners are out of state. An absentee owner with a problem property is the classic seller.
69 houses with a visible problem
69 have an open code case and 0 are recorded as vacant. These are the houses a driver would spot from the street; here they are flagged before anyone drives.
32 houses sit on two or more lists at once
A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, converts at a different rate than either signal alone. The stacked list is where a small mail or call budget goes first.
23 houses are in probate right now
The owner has died and an estate is open. The contact is the executor or an heir, and the house is often the only asset they need to deal with.
Foreclosures in Denver
Looking for foreclosed homes to buy in Denver? This is not a listing site: the houses here are pre-foreclosure data for investors, owners who are behind on a mortgage or have a foreclosure case filed, before the house is sold at auction or taken back by the lender.
DealSherpa has 262 pre-foreclosure and sale records in the City of Denver today, each matched to the house and its owner. An investor can reach these owners while they can still sell on their own terms.
Homes already owned by a bank are sold through agents and listing sites instead.
