• Is metro Denver's weak condo market signaling wider troubles ahead? (denverpost.com) — Broomfield’s condo market is taking a sharp hit, with median prices down more than 12% year-over-year in November and listings at Via Varra sitting much longer despite repeated price cuts. Rising HOA fees driven by insurance, water, sewer, and taxes are squeezing buyers, even as forecasts suggest only modest regional home price declines ahead and slightly lower mortgage rates in 2026.
