Denver Co?

  • If youre planning to purchase a home in Denver,
    Colorado, you might be wondering just how much
    money you should be spending on it. After all,
    this isnt your first home and you already know
    what it takes to buy property. But its not as
    simple as just searching for properties and
    looking at the price tags next to them there
    are other factors that you need to consider too!
    To help make sure that you spend the right amount
    of money on your home, we have put together this
    guide on how much should you be spending on home
    for sale Denver CO.
  • Market Overview
  • The median price of homes sold in your area. If
    you want to know how much to spend, youll need
    to figure out how much your down payment and
    closing costs will be. Lets say you have 10,000
    in savings and can scrape together an additional
    5,000 for closing costs. That leaves you with a
    total of 15,000 as your budget for buying a home
    without any help from a lender. Your housing
    budget is about 40 of that amount or about
    6,667 per year. One way to lower that amount is
    to ask yourself if having a bigger house or yard
    is really worth it.

Whats The Current Average Home Price?
  • The cost of living in Denver is considerably
    higher than in other parts of Colorado, and
    therefore, it can be a challenge to make ends
    meet when youre earning less than 20 an hour.
    According to Forbes, Denver is one of the most
    expensive cities for renting an apartment or
    buying a home. In addition to being fairly
    expensive, however, downtown Denver housing
    options are limited if youre looking for
    something more affordable. The average rent for a
    two-bedroom apartment was 1,366 per month as of
    2016, but if you want something closer to campus
    or along light rail linesas most students
    doexpect that number to climb significantly.
  • The Average Cost of Living in Denver, CO
  • If you are planning to move to Denver, Colorado
    or if you are considering buying a home in one of
    its many neighborhoods, it is important that you
    familiarize yourself with how much you will be
    spending each month. It isnt difficult to find a
    home for sale in Denver, but making sure that
    your future house payments will fit into your
    budget can help make your transition much easier.
    These are some key numbers when it comes to
    living in Denver The median price of a
    single-family home is 13,800 while condos and
    town homes average at affordable. It costs an
    average of 1,609 per month to live here housing
    takes up 28 percent of residents income each
    month.

Housing Affordability Index
  • While figuring out your home-buying budget, one
    of the most important factors is cost of living.
    After all, you cant set a budget without knowing
    where youll be spending most of your money. You
    may think Denver is expensive, but other major
    cities are even more so! If you take into account
    things like rent, transportation and
    entertainment in addition to housing costs, you
    might be surprised by just how much more it can
    cost to live in another city especially when
    compared to Denver.
  • Cost of living comparison between Denver and
    other major cities
  • Its an often repeated adage in real estate that
    location is everything. In Colorado, that saying
    holds especially true Prices for similar homes
    can vary significantly depending on where you
    look. To give you a better idea of just how much
    more (or less) a given home costs in a different
    city than Denver, we compared average monthly
    mortgage payments to median household income. The
    chart below shows results for six major
    citiesplus Denverand includes another data
    point to show what homeownership would cost if
    mortgage payments were only 2 of household
    income.

Trends in home prices over the last 3 years in
Denver
  • Over time, you should expect home prices to
    increase and fluctuate. These fluctuations are
    normal. Certain factors may cause your homes
    value to increase more or less than in other
    areas, but that is normal and natural. Knowing
    what factors can affect home values will help you
    better understand how much your property may be
    worth when you decide to sell it. Interest rates
    Decreasing interest rates may encourage people
    who were previously renting their homes to
    purchase a house for sale instead if so, demand
    for housing increases and prices go up.
    Employment growth A thriving economy typically
    means more jobs are available in a city
    (especially white-collar jobs), which leads
    people from surrounding areas to relocate there
    in search of work. More demand plus limited
    supply means rising home prices!
  • Home Value Predictions Over Next 5 Years
  • Homeowners may be surprised by recent data
    released by Zillow that found U.S. home values
    are expected to rise steadily over the next five
    years. The online real estate firm recently
    released its Zillow Home Value Forecast, which
    estimates that from December 2016 to December
    2021, home values will increase by a cumulative
    11 percent across Americas 100 largest metros.
    Because of recent growth, nearly half of those
    markets41are now expected to appreciate by
    double digits, including eight metro areas where
    values are predicted to grow more than 20 percent
    over five years.
