February’s median closed price of $562,500 is up 4.4% from January but down 2.2% from a year earlier.Properties are staying on the market longer, with the average days available at 48, up 4.4% from January.“Year over year we see Denver’s most active market falling in the months of February through May and we are on trend for this year to follow suit,” says Anna Centron, a broker associate at The Agency Denver.“Higher interest rates are not deterring buyers. We are back to seeing multiple offers within the first weekend of properties being active on the market that are correctly priced or lower priced (of market value).

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 01:03:28 GMT
More than 16 hours after they entered the House chamber, Colorado lawmakers advanced two controversial bills regulating guns and drug use in the early morning hours Friday, ending a marathon session of often emotional debate about how to best save lives amid dueling public health crises.House Republicans had pledged to fight the Democrat-backed bills, one of which would enact a minimum three-day waiting period for buying a gun, and the other would allow local governments to open safe-use drug sites. They made good on those threats Thursday: Debate on the gun measure began at 1:30 p.m. and ended at 2:30 the next morning. Republicans rejected a deal to end debate in exchange for a modest amendment as midnight approached, and Democrats shot down more than a dozen Republican attempts to change the gun bill.Ultimately, the waiting-period bill passed with the slight change that Republicans had rejected hours before, which will delay when the bill — should it be signed into law ̵...Kade Reed Pascal Dead after Semi-Truck Crash on Interstate 5 [Bakersfield, CA]

Here’s why things are different this time

Analysis by Julia Horowitz and Anna Cooban | CNNThe failure of Silicon Valley Bank is rattling markets and raising uncomfortable questions: Will it undermine the broader banking system and start a new meltdown?Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman has compared SVB to Bear Stearns, the first lender to collapse at the start of the 2007-2008 global financial crisis.“The risk of failure and deposit losses here is that the next, least well-capitalized bank faces a run and fails, and the dominoes continue to fall,” Ackman wrote on Twitter.Yet most analysts say the implosion of SVB appears company-specific for now. A crucial lender to US technology startups, the bank came under pressure as Silicon Valley funding dried up, the result of an economic slowdown and rapidly rising interest rates.“The reason [SVB is] in trouble is because they have exposure to particular industries,” said Jonas Goltermann, deputy chief markets economist at Capital Economics.
