Jared Polis: “The average home price in the Denver metro area is now…”

“Most communities across the country have been those two $300,000 starter homes that somebody early in their career might be able to make the down payment and afford. The average home price in the Denver metro area is now $600,000. And that's great for those who can afford it, but we need more homes that are available for purchase in that 2 to $300,000 range. That's what we're focused on in Colorado.” (06:28–06:33)
