Why can homes sit on the market while people still struggle to afford a place to live? Jill Gaebler of Pikes Peak Housing Network joins the Colorado Business Podcast to unpack the difference between a listing price and the cost of actually buying a home. Jill brings eight years of Colorado Springs City Council experience and her work as the network's executive director to a conversation about housing, local business and the future of the city. She discusses why the monthly payment matters, how housing choices affect employers and workers, and what makes a neighborhood livable. In this conversation: - Seller expectations, mortgage payments, insurance and property taxes - The gap between the homes being built and what households can afford - Smaller homes, accessory dwelling units and neighborhood zoning - Downtown businesses, walkability, bike lanes and community life - Condo construction, HOA fees and deferred maintenance - Principled leadership and investing in local institutions GUEST Jill Gaebler, Executive Director, Pikes Peak Housing Network Learn about the network and its housing resources: https://pphousingnetwork.org/ THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS EXCO Advisors: https://excoadvisors.com/ Junk Jockey COS: https://junkjockeyscos.com/ Bellwether Homes: https://bellwetherhomes.com/ Lightning Glassworks and Screens: https://fastglassrepair.com/ BrightLeaf Energy: https://brightleafenergy.co/ Be Our Guest Getaways: https://beourguestgetaways.com/ Planet Duct: https://planetduct.com/ FASTSIGNS: https://fastsigns.com/ Pinnacle Advanced Primary Care: https://pinnacleapc.com/ Atma Health: https://atmapmf.com/ LINE-X of Colorado Springs: https://linexcoloradosprings.com/ Savion HQ: https://savionhq.com/ Reveal Med Spas: https://revealmedspas.com/ Awesome Home Services: https://awesomeservice.com/ Dream Accounting Solutions: https://dreamaccountingsolutions.com/ Exponential Impact: https://exponentialimpact.com/ CONNECT WITH COLORADO BUSINESS PODCAST Watch more conversations and subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@ColoradoBusinessPodcast Visit the show: https://coloradobusinesspodcast.com/ What would make your neighborhood a better place to live and work?
