Home Prices in Colorado Have Increased Nearly 50% in the Last 5 Years

The value of the Centennial State's real estate dollar has declined, rentals have grown costlier, and median home prices have increased (check out the statistics from last year).

Regrettably, we have new research that won't be something Colorado homebuyers want to hear.

Boulder Home Source recently analyzed data from Zillow to see where housing costs have risen the least in the U.S. in the last five years.

"The past five years [have] seen the housing market experience a lot of turbulence, leading to increases in house prices across America," said a spokesperson for the company. "However, this study offers a fascinating insight into the states where prices are less likely to experience volatile increases and are more likely to remain relatively stable."

States like North Dakota, Louisiana, Alaska, Maryland, and Mississippi have seen moderately low price increases since 2017; unfortunately, Colorado doesn't fall into that category.

According to Boulder Home Source, housing costs in Colorado have risen by nearly 50% (48.6%, to be exact) in the last five years, making the Centennial State the 30th most expensive regarding home prices in the U.S.
