What's My Fox Hollow Delta CO Home Worth? April 2015 To determine market value, it's necessary to look at the real estate activity in your neighborhood.

That isn't a lot of inventory for Delta. Prices range from $229,000 to $279,900. The average listed price is $243,300. The average days on ma... 04/02/2015
