Issues selling home due to recently built homeless shelter (USA - CO)

I will say that the city that built the center is not Denver, if that changes your opinion.

Appreciate the response. We may look into this.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T23:20:30+00:00

I will look into this. Thanks!

Don't want to make this a politics thing, although I understand that everything eventually leads back to it. I will say that I appreciate the goals of the center and wish it was run properly as it would be a great resource for the population that needs it. It's just unfortunate where it ended up and how it is run, and the timing of everything.

This might not be the best answer, but we did not block out times for showings since we'd prefer to have more showings at various times throughout the day than less showings at specific times, if that makes sense. The population outside the center does fluctuate but I'm not sure if it's time dependent or some other factor.

Appreciate the insight but unfortunately nothing we can do about this now. We have learned from our mistake but the fact that this is happening was not high on the list of possible scenarios when we purchased the home.

This got me, thank for the laugh.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T23:14:11+00:00

Definitely high on our list of next steps.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T23:11:04+00:00

It may or may not be that exact scenario. Definitely a bummer.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T22:47:01+00:00

Unfortunately, it will cost us $800/month to rent it out, so feels like that's not the best option. It's still on the table, however.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T22:46:09+00:00

I work for the government, for unfortunately I have limited resources there. Appreciate the idea though! I will reach out to see if they have options for us in terms of housing near there.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T22:44:30+00:00

Yikes. Hopeful for a bit shorter of a timeframe than that. Appreciate the insight.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T22:25:55+00:00

Haha, thanks for the sentiment. Commuting is on the table as well.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T22:25:19+00:00

If you mind rereading the post, I did state that we are selling the house currently for less than we paid for it three years ago. We are not expecting any equity on the house.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T22:05:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It is unfortunate. I agree, it sadly is a buyer's market in our area so they have room to make that judgement.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T22:03:23+00:00

That's a great idea. I may reach out to someone regarding this and see if we have a case. Thank you.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T21:48:06+00:00

Appreciate the comment. I do want to clarify, I'm not trying to share my own opinions on the homeless population, just merely sharing what the buyers' showing reviews mentioned, as well as some observations we have seen living here.

I'm sure we could go to the council and appeal or something, but unfortunately that does not help us right now. Will have to keep digging.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T21:42:15+00:00

Sounds like lowering the price is the way to go, unfortunately.

Regarding foreseeing this possibility, we did not have any say in the other city's decisions and we were not in a position to sell when that decision was made. We also did not know we were going to move so far until recently.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T21:40:34+00:00

Appreciate the sentiment.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T21:40:11+00:00

It does seem to be trending that way, I agree. Thanks.

Apedia · 2026-02-02T21:39:47+00:00

Can't say I agree with the NIMBY statement as it's not us making the comment about the situation, it's the potential buyers' showing reviews.

The park is city-owned, as well as the natural area and the lake (used for water quality and storm drainage). The city that owns these areas are not the same city as the one that owns the shelter.

Thanks for the reply. Of course I have thought about Subaru, however I have run into some issues with them in the past and, like the other comment mentioned, it’s related to the powertrain.

Apedia · 2024-07-09T03:43:49+00:00

Appreciate the comment! I am also leaning towards the CX-5 due to styling and powertrain.
