FORT COLLINS, Colo. — If you've bought or tried to buy a home in the past few years, you know that costs have skyrocketed and interest rates have increased, making single-family homes unattainable for many people and families.
The League of Women Voters of Larimer County and the Partnership for Age-Friendly Communities in Larimer County are sponsoring a panel discussion Thursday about why housing prices have spiked and the options for making housing more attainable.
The median sales price for a single-family home in Northern Colorado in March was $627,500, a 0.6% increase from a year ago. The median price of a townhouse or condominium was $434,995, up 17.1% from a year ago.
Through the first quarter, Fort Collins' median sales price for a single-family home was $616,000 and a townhome/condo was $392,500.
Panelists include Clay Frickey, Fort Collins' planning manager; Megan Ferguson, CEO of the Impact Development Fund, a nonprofit committed to developing and preserving affordable housing and nonprofit facilities; and Landmark Homes CEO Jason Sherrill.
