Mine is 5 years old. I could sell it in 4 days for at least 75k more than I paid for it. I have put 0 investment in it.

Yeah, houses have been selling over the asking price in Denver for years. I guess supply just can't catch up with demand, and low interest rates are ramping demand up even higher.
I did a housing study for a city here in Colorado a while back, and we started tracing back what was causing the big increases. To our surprise, we're still feeling impacts from the Great Recession. Construction shut down for a while and population growth didn't. For states with positive in-migrant flows from other areas, it's created a wave of home demand (buying and renting) that keeps getting bigger, and losing basically two years of construction in the 2009/2010 time frame was a big deal that's still reverberating through the market today.
