Where Denver homebuyers have the upper hand
Data: Redfin Housing Market API (September 2026 data, released Oct. 12); ZIP-level figures cover a rolling three-month period ending September 2026. Graphic: Jim Sergent/Axios Whether Denver's housing market favors buyers or sellers depends largely on where you're looking, according to recent Redfin data analyzed by Axios. Why it matters: Location has always mattered in real estate. Now, it could determine who's calling the shots. The big picture: Buyers are gaining leverage in 52% of Denver-area ZIP codes tracked by Redfin, compared with 29% favoring sellers. Zoom in: The divide is especially stark in two ZIP codes: Lakewood's 80226: More than half of listings (57.1%) saw price cuts in October, up about 20 percentage points from a year earlier. Littleton's 80127: Homes sold 16 days faster than a year earlier, while the share of listings with price cuts fell nearly 5 percentage points. The bottom line: In Denver's uneven housing market, a little flexibility on location could give buyers a lot more bargaining power.

Smith STEAM Academy will close at the end of the school year after the Denver school board voted 4-2 Thursday to shutter it. The high school, which was modeled on historically Black colleges and universities, has just 24 students this year . Board Vice President Monica Hunter and member John Youngquist voted no. Hunter, a former Denver teacher who works for the statewide teachers union, asked about pausing the vote until an agreement granting concessions to teachers at the school could be finalized. Superintendent Alex Marrero said the school district was done negotiating. He said the two sides verbally agreed on a $1,000 payment to the teachers, plus protections for international teachers with work visas. Marrero said the district rejected other requests. Hunter said those included giving non-tenured teachers two paid days off to interview for other jobs. “The rationale is this is precedent setting,” Marrero said, “and potentially we have some more (school) consolidations coming, and it would not behoove us

The music business is infamously tough – and arguably getting tougher. Musicians generally earn less from streaming services than they once did from record sales.
