Colorado seniors squeezed by soaring home costs

Monthly bills for older homeowners in Colorado have jumped nearly 80% in a decade, outpacing Social Security increases and forcing many to make tough choices—like skipping fresh groceries or delaying repairs. Even longtime residents who own their homes outright are feeling the pinch from skyrocketing property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. Programs like Habitat for Humanity’s repair assistance are lifelines, but demand far exceeds supply. It’s a tough reality: being “house rich” doesn’t mean you can afford to stay. How are you or your neighbors coping with these rising costs? What solutions should our community push for? #RealEstate #ColoradoHousing #Seniors
