2026 Housing Predictions, Data vs Hype, and Boulder’s Reality | Podcast #103

What will the 2026 housing market really look like? In this episode, we cut through the noise around bold predictions and focus on what the data actually shows across entry-level, mid-market, high-end, and ultra-luxury housing. We discuss macro influences, Boulder-specific supply and demand pressures, CU Boulder’s expanding student housing pipeline, regional development projects, and emerging risks that could shape the next market cycle. A grounded look at where the housing market may be heading and what matters most moving forward.
