Best In Colorado Real Estate™: High Country

Eagle County leads the Colorado High Country in residential builders with 213 active construction firms in 2022—far ahead of its peers. This isn’t just a construction boom; it’s a vote of confidence in the region’s long-term resilience. While affordability pressures persist, the sheer number of builders suggests that developers believe in sustained demand, even as housing costs rise faster than wages. How does this balance between supply and demand shape the future of mountain living?
