The legal action stems from a staggering $1.8 billion verdict in Kansas City, Mo., which cited industry practices tha ..read more

But here we are, with listings making a strong comeback while buyers continue to bide their time.  2024 Denver Real Estate Market Trends (Including the Metro Area) Active List ..read more
