Let's Talk Business: Pueblo residential real estate market poised for sales growth
More homes hit the market in Pueblo in April, paving the way for an uptick in sales in the coming months.
'The Pueblo real estate market is showing some positive signs with new listings up 7.4%, while pending sales are up 25.7% in April and 2.1% year to date," said Dave Anderson, spokesperson for the Pueblo Association of Realtors.
Median pricing increased to $329,900 and was up 7.9% from April 2024. The year-to-date median price is up to $315,000, and the percent-of-list-price received was up to 98.8% in April.
The average number of days a home stays on market is 101.
"We have 813 active listings, an increase of 8.5% over April 2024. Buyers have a much better selection of homes to see with a 4.9-month supply of homes for sale," Anderson said.
"Open houses haven't seemed to help get buyers out just yet. Showings are up a little, but buyers are cautious about writing an offer as those higher interest rates continue to be a problem for prospective buyers," he said.
Builders applied for 33 new building permits in April — 21 of them in Pueblo West — but building permit applications are down 17% year to date, Anderson reported.
PaintCare helped recycle 12,215 gallons of paint in Pueblo County during its Earth Day program last month.
In Pueblo County, there are four year-round drop-off sites, including Greenhorn Valley Ace Hardware in Colorado City, and Sherwin-Williams, D and S Paint Center, and Southern Colorado Services and Recycling in Pueblo. While there is no charge to drop paint off for recycling, a nominal fee is added to the price of all new paint sold in Colorado to fund all aspects of the recycling program.
Paint is reused, recycled back into paint, or put to some other beneficial use. It is estimated that about 10% of all household paint purchased in the United States goes unused and is available for reuse or recycling, according to a press release.
A recent ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrated completed upgrades to the Walmart Supercenter at 4200 Dillon Drive.
A total of $10,000 in grants was presented to local nonprofit organizations, plus several long-time associates — including three team members who have served the Pueblo store for 40 years — were recognized.
The Southern Colorado Residential Rental Association is set to host a class and luncheon on May 21 at Pueblo Union Depot, 132 W. B St.
The class will run from 10-11:30 a.m. and focus on a legislative update of bills that affect landlords with a panel presentation by Zane Grant and Daniel Muldoon. Lunch will follow with representatives from Lowe's south side store detailing security products.
The class is free for members and lunch is $18 while the class is $25 for non-members and lunch is $25. For reservations, email scrra_mail@southerncoloradorentals.org or call or text 719-251-2257.

Jonathan Anderson will lead fashion at Dior
This story was originally published on Fashion Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Fashion Dive newsletter. Jonathan Anderson has been appointed creative director of women's, men's and haute couture at LVMH-owned Dior, according to a Monday press release. Anderson succeeds Maria Grazia Chiuri, who exited her role as creative director for Christian Dior Haute Couture and Dior Women last week following her final couture show in Rome. Anderson, formerly creative director of LVMH-owned Loewe, was appointed artistic director of Dior Men in May. This is the first time all three Dior collections will be under a single creative vision since the house's founder, Christian Dior, helmed the combined roles, per the release. Anderson's combined role at Dior signals a major vote of confidence regarding his ability to recreate the success he brought to Loewe. The brand sponsored last year's Met Gala and ranked consistently high on the Lyst Index, during Anderson's tenure, and he was named one of Time Magazine's most influential people in 2024. 'Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation,' Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, said in the release. 'His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the House of Dior.' Anderson will present his first collection, for Dior Men, in Paris on June 27. In the release, Anderson thanked Christian Dior Couture's chairman and CEO of Delphine Arnault, as well as LVMH Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault, 'for their trust and loyalty over the years,' and said it was an honor to join the company in the combined role. 'I have always been inspired by the rich history of this House, its depth, and empathy,' Anderson said. 'I look forward to working alongside its legendary Ateliers to craft the next chapter of this incredible story.' Prior to joining Loewe, Anderson was focused on his namesake JW Anderson label, founded in 2008. LVMH acquired a minority stake in 2013 — the same year Anderson became Loewe's creative director. 'I have followed [Anderson's] career with great interest since he joined the LVMH group over ten years ago,' Delphine Arnault said in the release. 'I am convinced that he will bring a creative and modern vision to our House, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior and the codes he created.' So far this year, the fashion industry has seen more than a dozen creative director changes, including last month's appointment of Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga. This is the fourth creative director appointment within the past year at LVMH. In March, the company appointed former Proenza Schouler duo Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez as joint creative directors at Loewe following Anderson's departure. Last year, Michael Rider took over Celine from Hedi Slimane in October, and Sarah Burton nabbed the top artistic spot at Givenchy in September, following the January exit of Matthew M. Williams. LVMH revenue has lagged against a backdrop of tariff uncertainty and a widespread luxury slowdown. First quarter revenue, reported in April, was down 2% to 20.3 billion euros, or about $23 billion at the time. Fashion and leather goods, the company's largest division, fell 4% to 10.1 billion euros. The company doesn't break down revenue by brand, but when LVMH took full control of Christian Dior in 2017, the deal was valued at $13 billion. Recommended Reading LVMH names 3 new CEOs

With His Dior Appointment, Jonathan Anderson Is Cemented as One of the Greats
This morning brought major news from Paris—Jonathan Anderson will succeed Maria Grazia Chiuri, taking over both womenswear and couture at Dior. (The Irish designer was initially confirmed to Dior Men in April.) 'Jonathan Anderson is one of the greatest creative talents of his generation. His incomparable artistic signature will be a crucial asset in writing the next chapter of the history of the house of Dior,' said Bernard Arnault, CEO and chairman of LVMH, in a statement. The move marks a historic unification of the brand. Anderson's reign will be the first time all lines will be under the umbrella of a single designer since the era of Mr. Dior (Dior Monsieur was externally licensed by the company before rebranding to Dior Homme and debuting on the runway under Hedi Slimane for fall 2001). 'I am convinced that he will bring a creative and modern vision to our house, inspired by the fabulous story of Monsieur Dior and the codes he created. He will be supported by our teams and our incredible ateliers who will bring his creativity to life,' said Delphine Arnault, chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, in a statement. However, the assignment is no small task. As the sole leader, Anderson will be responsible for 10 collections a year (not to mention capsules and exhibitions!)—including two couture collections (in comparison to his nine at Loewe). Over the last decade, Anderson deftly established himself as a generational wunderkind, maneuvering between his own label and Loewe while crafting clear narrative threads between the two. Now, the move from the brand that he radically transformed up to the helm of LVMH's crown jewel places him firmly in the company of industry greats. If anyone in the current creative director market is up for such a task, Anderson certainly seems like the right fit.

Around this time in 2023, Anderson's Asteroid City, also from Focus, delivered a massive jolt to the arthouse and specialty world with a $790k three-day weekend, also at six theaters, including a takeover of the Landmark LA. That opening per-theater average of $132k was the biggest in years for a helmer known to energize the specialty box office.

The director's large and devoted following is welcome as independent films have generally struggled post Covid and the 2025 indie box office only recently perked up from a long post-holiday lull. It's been feeling some love in recent weeks from a lively Cannes and an overall crush in ticket buying at the North American box office. 'Wes means a huge amount to me personally as an artist, and I feel like I'm probably not the only one in the room who would say something like that, and just getting to be even a small part of any of his movies truly means the world to me,' said Focus Features chairman Peter Kujawski at screening of The Phoenician Scheme at Jazz At Lincoln Center this week. 'I can speak for all of us at Focus when I say it is just such a joy, such a pleasure, such a point of pride to be part of this ride with Wes and the entire team.'
