According to a recent study released by the Denver Post, rental rates in Colorado rose more than triple that of the US average as we entered the new year. A whopping 10.2% increase ushered in average rental prices for a 2 bedroom apartment at $1,310 in Centennial, $2,920 in LODO, and $1,480 in Broomfield. Since Y2K it is estimated that rents have increased twice as fast as wages, which is obviously a huge concern for those still renting. WOW!

 rent versus buy

The high rental rates can be attributed to a significant populous increase with more people migrating to Colorado than ever before. Folks are excited to come to our beautiful state not only for the grandness of our landscapes and numerous entertaining activities, but also due to a number of factors including our ever expanding STEM job market and the constantly growing MMJ field.

It doesn't make sense to rent right now with interest rates so darn low.

Erin-This is great info and I think it is nuts to rent when you can buy and your mortgage is often times than rent. $1300 a month is a lot to throw away on rent

That's crazy. People need to stop throwing their money away and ask you for help buying a home.

Hi Erin - Oops, I thought this was the post I commented on yesterday. Your analysis is right - with rising rents and with interest rates being so favorable, the smart move is to buy, and renters will need the expert help you provide in finding the right home.

With those kind of rental rates, it's a good idea to look into buying a home. Most renters might be amazed at what they can buy a home for compared to renting. Rental rates will always go up. With most mortgages you will have fixed payements for the term of your loan.

Hi Erin -- for qualified renters who want to buy --- many may look back in the future and wish they had taken this advice NOW.   Coulda Would Shoulda, Right?

In most of the mortgages you will have fixed payments for the term of your loan.http://www.realpropertymanagementcolorado.com/
