3:32

according to a Us News analysis

3:41

housing supply and demand along with

3:43

financial health measures. A

It's that keeps rents from falling.

5:02

Residents also have a high median income

5:04

relative to median mortgage and rent payments

5:06

in the area. Pretty good. Denver.

5:09

Has long been considered a desirable

5:12

destination due to it's abundant urban

5:14

amenities. In proximity to the Rockies,

5:16

it's beautiful. Although. Rapidly rising

5:18

home prices have pushed to the city to

5:21

the bottom of Us News is ranking of

5:23

the best places to live and twenty sixteen

demand in the Denver metro area. In

December, home prices in Denver are still

5:38

more affordable than coastal have like New

5:40

York in L A, and local real

5:43

5:47

Low housing supply, few building permits

5:49

relative to new household formation has

5:51

kept those prices sky high even

5:54

amid high mortgage rates. Rising prices

5:56

have also created more renter households

5:58

with vacancy rates. Falling to four point

6:01

six percent at the end of twenty twenty three.

6:03

Which. Is well below the national

6:06

vacancy rate. Rents.

Have risen three point one percent year

6:10

over year and line with national median

6:12

The city has experienced a one point

6:19

two percent decline in jobs compared to

6:21
