The year didn’t wait for spring.

In just the first few weeks, I’ve seen negotiated rate buydowns, thoughtful buyers, and yes…multiple offers on well-prepared homes (including my last two listings).

It’s not frantic. It’s strategic.

If you’re curious what that means for you, I break it all down in this month’s newsletter →

Americans are still moving, but the why has shifted.

New migration data shows people aren’t chasing hype anymore. They’re looking for a balance between lifestyle and affordability, and that’s reshaping markets across the country.

Colorado isn’t the top inbound state it was 5–10 years ago, but it’s also not seeing the mass outflows of places like California or New York. Instead, we’ve entered a more selective migration phase: fewer casual movers, more intentional buyers who care about long-term fit, quality of life, and financial sustainability.

Affordability is a real pressure point here. Higher prices and interest rates have slowed in-migration, but Colorado’s outdoor access, job diversity, and lifestyle appeal continue to make it competitive.

The takeaway?

Colorado is no longer a a frenzied market—it’s an intentional market. And that tends to favor smart buyers and well-positioned sellers.

Americans voted with their feet last year on the best places to live, creating winners and losers among the states.

Nearly half of American homeowners are thinking about moving in 2026 — and it’s not just about needing more space, a shorter commute, or a change of scenery.

Climate concerns and rising insurance costs are increasingly shaping where people feel comfortable putting down roots long-term. Weather risk, affordability, and the true cost of ownership are no longer background noise — they’re front-and-center in housing decisions.

What’s especially interesting is how this is showing up in migration trends across the country:

• Many households are rethinking high-risk coastal and wildfire-prone areas

• Others are prioritizing regions with more predictable insurance costs and long-term livability

• Moves today are less about impulse and more about sustainability — financially and emotionally

There’s no such thing as a perfectly “safe” place to live, but there is a growing awareness that where you live affects not just your lifestyle, but your long-term costs, stress level, and flexibility.

If you’re wondering how climate, insurance, and long-term livability should factor into your real estate decisions I'm always here to chat.

If you're planning on moving in 2026, you're not alone. But are you moving for the same reason as 49% of other Americans?

Short-term rentals are poised for a potential surge in 2026–2027, not because of speculation, but because of the tax code. The new depreciation provisions allow qualifying STR investors to treat losses as active, not passive, meaning they can offset W-2 income.

For high-earning buyers, this creates a rare opportunity: pair lifestyle-driven property ownership with meaningful tax advantages and long-term appreciation.

As always, incentives alone shouldn’t drive investment. But for buyers with the right strategy, the right market, and the right advisory team (CPA, lender, agent), these changes can turn an already solid investment into an exceptional one.

This is not a forecast or a prediction. It’s policy. The short-term rental (STR) markets will absolutely boom in 2026 and 2027!

Colorado Homeowners Are Staying Put Longer

According to ATTOM’s Q3 2025 report, Colorado homeowners are holding onto their properties for an average of 8.17 years, a 7.1% increase year over year. That’s right in line with the national trend of longer homeownership tenure as many choose to stay put amid higher rates and limited inventory.

More interesting, nearly 40% of Colorado home sales were all-cash, a 14.6% jump from last year, reflecting strong equity positions, investor activity, and downsizing homeowners using built-up wealth.

For Colorado homeowners, this means:

📈 Your home’s equity likely grew substantially during your tenure.
💸 Buyers with cash are increasingly shaping competition and pricing.
🕰️ “Timing the market” may matter less than understanding your equity position and long-term goals.

Littleton’s housing conversation is heating up ahead of November’s election.

Ballot measure 3A would enshrine single-family zoning into the city charter, something supporters say protects neighborhood character, while critics warn it could make the city less accessible for future generations.

As a lifelong Littleton resident and real estate professional, I understand both sides of this debate. Growth and preservation don’t have to be opposing forces, but it takes collaboration, communication, and vision to find the balance.

👉 Worth a read for anyone invested in the future of housing and community in Colorado.

After months of acrimony, Littleton voters this November will get a more direct say in city housing policy through city charter amendment 3A and a slate of mayor and council races that have become a referendum on growth.
