Downtown Littleton keeps finding new ways to make Main Street even more special, and this one is pretty exciting.

The Littleton Downtown Development Authority (LDDA) just announced its first-ever Call for Artists as part of a new public art initiative, the selected artist will create a large-scale mural right in the heart of Main Street.

The mural will be installed on the west-facing wall of the Playa Bowls building at 2490 Main Street, a highly visible spot surrounded by restaurants, shops, and community events.

The design will draw inspiration from Downtown Littleton’s history, including the electric trolley line that once ran along Main Street in the early 1900s.

Project Highlights:
• Mural Size: ~2,420 sq ft
• Commission: Up to $20,000
• Open to artists nationwide
• Application Deadline: March 20, 2026
• Installation completed ahead of the Downtown Littleton Block Party in June

Public art has such a powerful way of shaping a place’s identity, and I love seeing continued investment in making Downtown Littleton even more vibrant.

If you’re an artist, or know one who might be a great fit, this is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the evolving story of Downtown Littleton.

Want to work with us? The Littleton DDA will post opportunities when they become available.

The year didn’t wait for spring.

In just the first few weeks, I’ve seen negotiated rate buydowns, thoughtful buyers, and yes…multiple offers on well-prepared homes (including my last two listings).

It’s not frantic. It’s strategic.

If you’re curious what that means for you, I break it all down in this month’s newsletter →

Americans are still moving, but the why has shifted.

New migration data shows people aren’t chasing hype anymore. They’re looking for a balance between lifestyle and affordability, and that’s reshaping markets across the country.

Colorado isn’t the top inbound state it was 5–10 years ago, but it’s also not seeing the mass outflows of places like California or New York. Instead, we’ve entered a more selective migration phase: fewer casual movers, more intentional buyers who care about long-term fit, quality of life, and financial sustainability.

Affordability is a real pressure point here. Higher prices and interest rates have slowed in-migration, but Colorado’s outdoor access, job diversity, and lifestyle appeal continue to make it competitive.

The takeaway?

Colorado is no longer a a frenzied market—it’s an intentional market. And that tends to favor smart buyers and well-positioned sellers.

Americans voted with their feet last year on the best places to live, creating winners and losers among the states.

Looks like many others are starting to notice how great our Main St really is!

01/07/2026

Nearly half of American homeowners are thinking about moving in 2026 — and it’s not just about needing more space, a shorter commute, or a change of scenery.

Climate concerns and rising insurance costs are increasingly shaping where people feel comfortable putting down roots long-term. Weather risk, affordability, and the true cost of ownership are no longer background noise — they’re front-and-center in housing decisions.

What’s especially interesting is how this is showing up in migration trends across the country:

• Many households are rethinking high-risk coastal and wildfire-prone areas

• Others are prioritizing regions with more predictable insurance costs and long-term livability

• Moves today are less about impulse and more about sustainability — financially and emotionally

There’s no such thing as a perfectly “safe” place to live, but there is a growing awareness that where you live affects not just your lifestyle, but your long-term costs, stress level, and flexibility.

If you’re wondering how climate, insurance, and long-term livability should factor into your real estate decisions I'm always here to chat.

If you're planning on moving in 2026, you're not alone. But are you moving for the same reason as 49% of other Americans?

If you’re still scrambling for last-minute holiday gifts in Littleton… same 😅

One of the many reasons I love living and working in Downtown Littleton is how easy it is to find thoughtful, meaningful gifts without ever setting foot in a big box store.

From chocolates and books to wellness, fashion, music, and a little Christmas magic. Our Main small businesses pour so much heart into what they do. When you shop local, you’re not just checking something off your list…you’re supporting neighbors, dreams, and the community we all call home.

If you still have a few gifts to grab, take a stroll down Main Street and let these local gems do the heavy lifting.

👉 Save this post, share it with a fellow procrastinator (no judgment), and let me know your favorite Downtown Littleton shop in the comments.

A brighter future for Downtown Littleton is taking shape!

In November 2024, city council adopted the Project Downtown Concept Plan, a community-driven vision that reimagines the future of Littleton’s historic core. Built on years of collaboration with residents, businesses and the Littleton Downtown Development Authority, the plan laid the groundwork for reinvestment in downtown infrastructure, mobility, and public spaces.

Following a city council study session in September 2025, the council approved a funding strategy to advance Phase 1 — the Main Street Improvements — into design. This milestone marks the beginning of translating the community’s vision into detailed plans to replace aging infrastructure, improve safety and accessibility, and celebrate downtown Littleton’s distinctive character.

The Main Street Improvements will modernize downtown infrastructure while preserving the area’s historic charm — enhancing safety, walkability, accessibility and the overall experience for residents, visitors and businesses alike.

Stay tuned for more information in early 2026 on how to get involved as design work progresses and engagement opportunities are announced.

Short-term rentals are poised for a potential surge in 2026–2027, not because of speculation, but because of the tax code. The new depreciation provisions allow qualifying STR investors to treat losses as active, not passive, meaning they can offset W-2 income.

For high-earning buyers, this creates a rare opportunity: pair lifestyle-driven property ownership with meaningful tax advantages and long-term appreciation.

As always, incentives alone shouldn’t drive investment. But for buyers with the right strategy, the right market, and the right advisory team (CPA, lender, agent), these changes can turn an already solid investment into an exceptional one.

This is not a forecast or a prediction. It’s policy. The short-term rental (STR) markets will absolutely boom in 2026 and 2027!
