What will the 2026 housing market really look like? In this episode, we cut through the noise around bold predictions and focus on what the data actually shows across entry-level, mid-market, high-end, and ultra-luxury housing. We discuss macro influences, Boulder-specific supply and demand pressures, CU Boulder’s expanding student housing pipeline, regional development projects, and emerging risks that could shape the next market cycle. A grounded look at where the housing market may be heading and what matters most moving forward.

Opening Story or Quote:

Casey Neistate: “An endless dribble of computer-generated nonsense that no one cares about.”

He used this to express concerns about low-effort, frictionless AI-generated content flooding platforms and potentially drowning out authentic human creativity. The video is titled something along the lines of “SORA: the all AI TikTok Clone. Will Slop End Creativity?” (YouTube link from reports: https://youtu.be/I1dW-nZqhew).

    • • The University of Colorado is pushing forward with nearly 2,000 new on-campus units to ease regional pressure. Code Talker Hall (332 beds) opens in fall 2026, with larger projects like a 1,650-student complex at Colorado Avenue and Regent Drive starting phases by 2028. Long-term plans include up to 1,100 units on annexed southern campus land, helping address student-driven demand in Boulder.  Note:  CU South Website allows for 750,000 non-housing related SQFT maximum and 2:1 ratio for housing, which equates to 1.5M SQFT for housing.  At 500 SQFT per 2 bedroom, you’re looking at 3,000 2 bedroom units (or 6,000 beds).
