Westminster 80003 is in Jefferson County, CO, part of the Denver Metro. The typical home value in Westminster 80003 is $512,835 (Zillow Home Value Index, September 2026), down 2.9% from a year earlier. Homes that sold went under contract in a median 25 days, and 40% of listings took a price cut (Redfin Data Center, period ending Sep 30, 2026). On Lotvox's market-leverage reading of that data, with 3.5 months of supply, sellers hold a slight edge. Lotvox scores all 10,364 homes in 80003 with county records every night with its Turnover Index; in a held-out test, the top fifth of scored homes accounted for 28.2% of the 209 sales that followed, against 20% by chance (scored Oct 25, 2026). Across Jefferson County's 25 ZIPs with a Zillow value, the middle one is $585,520, so 80003 sits 12% below the county middle.

Redfin market data (county + ZIP), via Lotvox. As of 2026-09-30. Normal = same-month median of monthly rates, minimum 3 same-month points. Source window 3 months (flows shown per month). months_of_supply is not published at this grain (0 non-null rows measured); derived here as active listings / closed sales per month. A fresher supply-only read (62 new, 136 active, 2026-09-01, Realtor.com inventory (county + ZIP), via Lotvox) is available but is NOT used in the net — that source publishes no closed sales, so subtracting across it would mix two vintages.

Price Bands — the median behind the median
A single median rises whenever expensive homes become a bigger share of what sells, even if no tier got more expensive. These are the tiers underneath it, computed from recorded arms-length deed transactions in Jefferson.
Aggregate median +3.8% YoY in this ZIP, but the under-$500k tier is +1.5% — both the aggregate and the entry tier are rising. Over the same year the under-$500k share of sales moved from 44.9% to 37.4% (-7.5pp) and the $1M+ share from 1.7% to 2.7% (+1.0pp).

Owner stock, age of householder
Tenure by age of householder (ACS B25007) is not published below county. Any ZIP figure here is DERIVED from the county's age-specific owner rates applied to this ZIP's own age structure — never read directly.
Derived — this ZIP
No ZIP figure — this ZIP spans 2 counties
NOT DERIVED: this ZIP spans more than one county. Tenure by age is not published below county, and no single county rate applies here. Weighting by area would produce a number, not a measurement - area is a poor proxy for where households are. Each county's own figure is shown instead.
