More than 250 Realtors including many of Mountain Metro Association’s board members listened to economic overviews, Gubernatorial candidates panel and much more on Wednesday and Thursday last week as part of Colorado Association of Realtors’ Economic Summit and Realtor Day at the Capitol.

It was a packed two-day schedule really highlighting where this market has come and the challenges that face us in the next year. Anti-growth ballot Initiative No. 66 was a big topic of conversation among Realtors and candidates alike.

Other key topics included infrastructure, transportation and affordable housing. Each candidate for governor offered their personal take on the situation and hopes for possible solutions.
