Colorado REALTORS® Met with Lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to Advocate for Policies to Promote Housing Availability and Increase Access to Homeownership

Meetings took place during the 2025 REALTORS® Legislative Meetings June 13-18.

During the 2025 National Association of REALTORS® Legislative Meetings, 122 members of the Colorado Association of REALTORS® met with members of Congress in Washington, D.C., to advocate for policies that will increase the housing supply and improve access to homeownership.

Members and staff of the Colorado Association of REALTORS® met with Senators Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, and Representatives Diana DeGette (CO-1), Joe Neguse (CO-2), Jeff Hurd (CO-3), Lauren Boebert (CO-4), Jeff Crank (CO-5), Jason Crow (CO-6), Brittany Pettersen (CO-7), and Gabe Evans (CO-8), and discussed:

• Private property rights;
• Building housing supply and opportunity for all;
• Support for self-employed professionals;
• How NAR research products show the impact of real estate on the economy and the vital role it plays for consumers;
• The importance of property ownership in building safe, resilient communities

NAR and CAR support policies that will address the estimated 4.7 million home shortage in America. Increasing the supply of housing, easing market constraints, and making it easier for Americans to find homes they can afford will stabilize prices, revitalize communities, and support the American Dream of homeownership.                    

NAR, and state and local associations organized the meetings on Capitol Hill as a part of their advocacy efforts on behalf of the real estate industry.
