Denver is not one market with a mountain backdrop. Inside the city, the older brick bungalows and Denver squares in the Highlands, Park Hill and Washington Park behave differently from the new apartment towers in RiNo and along the light rail.
Both differ from the car-built subdivisions of Aurora, Centennial and Highlands Ranch. Boulder has its own buying culture, shaped by the university and a separate rental calendar, while Fort Collins draws on a trade area of its own to the north.
Weather sets the calendar too: spring and summer hail, winter cold snaps that break furnaces, dry air and big temperature swings. Listing shoppers spend their time on Zillow, Realtor.com and REcolorado, and brokers answer to Colorado DORA, the state licensing agency.
A good campaign separates city infill from Front Range suburbs, and separates every suburb you staff from the ones you do not.
