Denver #1 in small business employment and wage growth / Urban Exodus

In tonights short podcast we dive into two articles that were sent my way from Lon Welsh at Your Castle Real Estate.

The first uses a report from a London based global information provider IHS Markit to show how Denver is fairing very well amongst the world in wage growth and small business employment growth despite the covid 19 pandemic.

The second article is about how many folks are buying second homes up in the resort towns with the intent to live in them, as opposed to vacation there during breaks. This then breaks into far more than just a boom in real estate transactions, but the question about infrastructure and accommodations for permanent residents. The answers very well may still be up in the air as to school enrollment and such, but the real estate up there sure is selling!
