Best In Colorado Real Estate™: High Country

Is the Colorado High Country becoming primarily a playground for external capital? New data from the Kansas City Fed, published today, August 16, 2026, reveals that 48% of recent transactions in the mountain resort market were for non-primary residences. This significant share prompts a crucial question about the evolving dynamics of our unique market. How does this impact the long-term sustainability and accessibility for our local communities? For instance, similar trends observed in certain Texas markets, like Williamson County, have shown an estimated 15% increase in non-primary residence sales over the past year, leading to distinct challenges in balancing growth with local affordability. What are your observations on this trend in your market? Source: Kansas City Fed, 'Mountain Housing Report Q2 2026,' published August 16, 2026.
