Denver-area homes still selling faster than nearly any other US metro area

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 08:17:05 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Very little seems to sour homebuyers in the Denver metro area. The Front Range housing market has been characterized by limited supply, limited development and stratospheric prices for the better part of three years. Denver area homes are the nation's eighth most expensive, according to the March market report from Realtor.com, which compares real estate markets across the 50 largest metro areas in the U.S. The median listing price in March was $655,000. This would require a roughly $200,000 household income, assuming current interest rates, a 30-year mortgage and a 20% down payment. This is the household income threshold for the top 10% of American households, according to the World Economic Forum. Colorado cities rank highest for DUI arrests per capita That top 10% is still snapping up homes around the Denver metro faster than almost anywhere in the U.S. A Denver area home sat on the market for 28 days before it sold in March, according to the Realtor.com report...

(CNN) — Special counsel prosecutors have secured evidence including daily notes, texts, emails and photographs and are focused on cataloguing how Donald Trump handled classified records around the Mar-a-Lago resort and those who may have witnessed the former president with them, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation.The new details come amid signs the Justice Department is taking steps typical of near the end of an investigation.The recent investigative activity before a federal grand jury in Washington, DC, also includes subpoenaing witnesses in March and April who had previously spoken to investigators, the sources said. While the FBI interviewed many aides and workers at Mar-a-Lago nearly a year ago voluntarily, grand jury appearances are transcribed and under-oath — an indication the prosecutors are locking in witness testimony.The focus of both the mishandling of records and obstruction of justice probes has remained on the actions of the for...
