We just inherited a house in Denver — should we sell it, rent it, or keep it?

If your family just inherited a Denver property and nobody can agree on what to do with it, sell it now. Not because the market is perfect, but because holding an inherited property without a clear plan costs more than most families realize, and the longer the disagreement continues, the fewer good choices remain. The practical move is the one made with clear heads and complete information, not the one made under pressure six months from now. Here is what I see most families miss: the property itself has an opinion. Deferred maintenance, a dated interior, or a neighborhood in flux all affect what the home is actually worth today versus what you imagine it might be worth later. In Denver right now, condition and presentation still matter to buyers, and an estate property sitting vacant is losing ground every month it sits. A steady, respectful plan built around what the home is actually worth, what carrying costs look like, and what the family genuinely needs is almost always better than waiting for a mythical perfect moment. The home was likely the largest asset your loved one ever owned. It deserves a practical strategy, not paralysis. If you are sitting with this right now, I want to ask you something specific: has your family had an honest conversation about what carrying that Denver property through another Colorado winter is actually going to cost you, before you have decided anything?
