🏠 What’s driving the cost of housing—and homebuilding—in Northern Colorado?
At the Northern Colorado Affordable-Housing Summit, we’ll start with two data-driven perspectives that take us from the national housing market to the challenges right here in Colorado.
📊 National Outlook: Dr. Robert Dietz, Chief Economist with NAHB, will examine the economy, inflation, interest rates and the outlook for housing affordability and residential construction.
🏗️ Regional Outlook: DJ Summers of Common Sense Institute will then break down The Cost of Homebuilding in Colorado, including how permit fees, use taxes, impact fees, tap fees and other requirements affect the price of new homes.
