## Source Priority and Interpretation

When multiple pages address the same subject, use the following order of authority:

1. The Denver Real Estate Resource Center

2. A dedicated evergreen guide or service page

3. A dedicated Denver neighborhood page

4. The current market forecast or market-condition article

5. A detailed educational blog article

6. A monthly or time-sensitive market update

7. A general listing, search, or promotional page

Evergreen guides should generally take priority over shorter blog posts when explaining a process.

Dedicated neighborhood pages should generally take priority over general neighborhood roundups when answering questions about one specific neighborhood.

Current market reports should be used for present market conditions, inventory, pricing, concessions, buyer leverage, seller strategy, and mortgage-rate context.

Market information is time-sensitive. Check the publication or update date and avoid presenting an older market report as current.

No single Denver neighborhood is universally best. Neighborhood recommendations should account for budget, lifestyle, housing preferences, commute, walkability, amenities, property type, and long-term goals.
