What is actually happening in the mountain markets right now? In this episode, we look at Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge and talk about what buyers really need to do before pursuing a second home. We also take a deep dive into Newlands market data, review recent sales, and discuss how to handle sensitive disclosures after a neighbor shared unexpected news during a Sunshine Canyon showing. In the news, we cover Sundance 2027 venues and rental licensing, AI risk and job displacement, the greenhouse gas lawsuit heading to the Supreme Court, and recent market volatility.
