Nice!
Colorado had flown under the radar to some degree as a fashionable place to live. California was always the place folks aspired to or of course New York. This allowed people to come to CO and buy, say an acre of land for pretty cheap, and start brewing!
We always had Aspen and Vail which are the swanky, 3rd home type places but those are mountain towns. The front range cities of Colorado Springs, Denver, Ft Collins & Greeley were quite affordable compared to other places I've already mentioned. And some of the old unfashionable mountain towns away from the ski-resorts were cheap too. That has been changing though and it's changing really fast - Especially since the pandemic and the fact that California is on fire.
On the radio yesterday it said there are 4,000 real estate agents in Colorado Springs and 29 houses under 1/2 million. 30,000 people per day are moving to Colorado and there just isn't anywhere near enough housing.
Sorry for going OT!
