Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Boulder

Boulder’s housing vacancy rate is 5.3% — the 4th highest in Colorado, according to new data from ALEX Intelligence (https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-11-15-boulder-standing-vacancy-share-msa). That’s not a sign of oversupply — it’s a symptom of deep inequality in housing access. While luxury and seasonal homes sit vacant, working families face the highest home-to-income ratio in the state. This isn’t a supply problem; it’s a distribution problem. How do we ensure vacant homes serve people, not just portfolios?
