Charles Bunney recounted the “unusually large smile” he found Zane Brown wearing one Monday morning, not too long ago.

Mo-Town Knows: Housing In Montrose Part 2: Housing Insecurity

Over the next month, we're going to be discussing and analyzing the housing market and housing concerns in Montrose and the Western Slope. 
It's a lot to fit in one episode though, so we're breaking up the topic into three distinct parts. This first part is a basic breakdown of the current Montrose real estate market through the eyes of local realtor Jeff Keehfuss, hosted by reporter Josue Perez. 

The second part will focus explicitly on housing insecurity and the broader housing crisis. This is a topic that has been covered extensively in Colorado, but it's usually focused on the Front Range rather than the Western Slope, and very rarely with an eye directly toward Montrose.The third part will discuss Montrose's housing future and the developers with their hat in the ring.

We hope you follow along as we have these discussions, and that you won't hesitate to ask any questions or share your opinion. We want these conversations to be guided by community input -- Do you have any questions about the housing market, or concerns about affordable housing and development? Share on our local social media site, NABUR, at nabur.montrosepress.com.
