Thank you to everyone who has been practicing thoughtful social distancing. As a result, things are starting to look up for the state of Colorado!

"The pandemic itself has offered a lens into the value of both technology and traditional agents to the home buying process."

2. From Stay at Home to Safer at Home: Colorado Enters Phase Two of Coronavirus Response
"Dubbed 'Safer at Home,' the second phase of the state’s coronavirus response will see the reopening of retail stores and personal services, such as salons, tattoo parlors, and dental offices, with strict precautions."

3. Americans Pulled Back From Home Purchases in March as Coronavirus Spread
"Buyers are also more cautious. D.R. Horton Inc., the nation’s biggest home builder, said earlier this month that its sales cancellation rate hit 24% in March, up from 18% a year earlier."
