Colorado Public Health Order Alters Local Real Estate Practices
What happened
A public health order issued by Governor Jared Polis in Colorado initially shut down non-essential services and limited in-person business starting March 26, 2020, and was effective until April 27, 2020, though several counties extended it into early May. During this period, in-person showings and open houses ceased, and many homeowners removed their listings from the market. The state later replaced the strict stay-at-home order with a safer-at-home order, which still limits groups to 10 or fewer individuals and prohibits open houses or complimentary snacks.
