We are back with Joe Massey to chat Denver real estate. Curious what’s really happening in the Denver housing market? In this market pulse, we discuss how January just clocked in as the slowest month for home sales since 2008. Seriously, when was the last time you saw headlines and boots-on-the-ground investor buzz telling two completely different stories?
