I wonder if he still owns homes in all those places (Detroit, Colorado, LA, and Hawaii)? I guess he can now add New York City!

I have never heard of him having a house in Detroit since he left the place. This article is the first mention of it I have ever seen & I am therefore dubious about it. I know he still has the place in Hawaii & I assume he still has the chalet in Snowmass, Colorado.

I've also seen him listed as owning property in Florida and La Quinta, so my guess is that he's bought homes for his parents to live in over the years and Detroit could be one of them.

From a December 1993 interview with Jack Tempchin:

Tempchin and Frey began their songwriting partnership in 1981, the year the Eagles broke up. Frey had liked some songs Tempchin sent him during the Eagles' final days, and they had their first writing session at Frey's house as he prepared for a post-Eagles solo career.As Tempchin tells it, they thought so much of what came out of that session that all of it ended up in Frey's waste basket.
"I came over the next day and he had taken the pads out of the trash and looked at 'em and thought it wasn't so bad," Tempchin remembers. The retrieved batch of songs included two that would become signature hits for Frey, "The One You Love" and "Party Town."
Since then, Tempchin has co-written the bulk of Frey's solo material, including the hits "You Belong to the City" and "Smuggler's Blues."

"We just sit down and write 'em when he has a record to do," Tempchin said. It appeared that Frey's recording career would be put on hold earlier this year as he took the lead role in a TV series, "South of Sunset." But CBS canceled the show after just one episode, and Tempchin said that he and Frey are working now on material for another album.
"He's going to do an album of early-Eagles-sounding things, all new songs," Tempchin said. "We've already written a bunch of stuff for it."
