Colorado ski towns are struggling with low housing inventory, which is keeping prices high. The numbers suggest that while the Denver housing market appears to have peaked in April, median sale prices are still up year-over-year. Other popular ski towns like Frisco, Dillon, and Aspen have also passed similar laws. Other popular ski towns like Glenwood Springs and Estes Park are having similar struggles, the report suggests. Meanwhile, the average price of single-family homes in Estes have increased by 14.8% since October 2021 while the price of condos have jumped by 11.8%.

On Tuesday, millions of voters nationwide casted ballots in favor of affordable housing measures. "It's especially heartening to see many ballot measures that support affordable housing pass this year with a clear majority of votes." Austinites aren't the only voters desperate for affordable housing. Kansas City voters gave the green light to a $50 million affordable housing bond that will create 2,000 units in the city. This year, lawmakers brought forward proposed affordable housing bonds via Measure U in Oakland, Measure L in Berkeley and Measure ULA in Los Angeles.

In late 2021, a wildfire tore through the Boulder suburbs and destroyed nearly 1,100 homes. Roughly 10 months after that blaze, known as the Marshall Fire, the vast majority of the burned lots remain vacant. "Open space with the ability to build what you want — that really doesn't exist in Boulder County," Jennifer Eiss, a Boulder real-estate agent with Compass, said. The median sale price for Marshall Fire lots that sold in the third quarter was $416,000, according to MLS data. Newer, more-sustainable building methods, combined with an emphasis on protective borders around homes, could help mitigate fire risks, Pechet said.

Jake Cohen is an Airbnb owner who rents out properties in Colorado and Alabama. In 2007, my parents bought another property in Palm Springs, California, and when the manager left, they asked if I would run it. Today, I'm a full-time Airbnb owner who owns five rental properties in Steamboat and Denver, Colorado, and Gulf Shores, Alabama. When we bought the property, it was in a pretty rough state; it had foundation issues and needed remodeling throughout. We still rent out our two homes in Denver and our apartment in Steamboat on Zillow and Airbnb — whichever books first.

CHILDREN’S ROOMS confront decorators with competing demands. You must acknowledge the child’s interest in, say, hideous insects, without overdoing it on themed décor; you must hunt down furnishings that suit small people but will endure as they mature; and you must secure your wee client’s aesthetic buy-in without turning the space into a cartoonish nightmare that sets elders’ teeth on edge. Here, design pros share common mistakes and strategies for striking a just-right balance between playful and polished. Theme FeverOverindulging your fledgling ballerina’s or baseball fan’s enthusiasms can get cloying. “Do not make every element theme related,” said Lindsey Jamison, a lead interior designer at Rumor Designs in Steamboat Springs, Colo. “I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to paint the room team colors.”
