DENVER HOUSING STATISTICS
Denver and its suburbs recently have enjoyed one of the biggest median home-price run-ups of any major metropolitan area in the U.S. Between early 1998 and the end of 2003, home prices jumped more than 60%. Currently, however, price growth has slowed, reflecting a mix of economic indicators. The unemployment rate, which is currently about 6%, is high by national standards, and job growth is declining. Both of these are negative real-estate indicators. Rental vacancies are almost in the double digits, also a sign of a softening real-estate market. The good news is that Denver has a growing population, which will increase demand for homes. Another good omen: Despite rising home prices, affordability is still reasonable compared to other major cities in the region -- the median price of a Denver home is about $237,000. For the short term, assuming mortgage rates stay below 7%, home prices will continue to rise, albeit at a much slower rate than in the past several years. SOURCE: Real
