The pandemic changed a lot about the real estate market and the very way in which we view home — or more specifically, the things many of us are looking for in a home.
As many were forced to turn their dining room table into their homeschool headquarters, their basement into their home office, and their playroom into a workout area, some began to long for more space in which to fit all aspects of their life.
Plus, the global shift to remote work allowed people to move to more remote locations — which coined a new term for the industry: Zoom towns. Remote workers were suddenly able to live where they wanted to, rather than being tethered to wherever their company’s headquarters happened to be. And that’s not going anywhere any time soon!
If you’re looking for a bit more land in Colorado, we’ve got several spacious properties currently on the market. All of these homes rest on several acres — sometimes even 25 or 35! — and come with a number of amenities, including private ponds, barns, shops, horse arenas, and more.
