Ranked!

The latest report from the Federal Housing Finance Authority is hot off the press. They rank 241 major metropolitan areas across the U.S. for yearly home price appreciation.

They show that, nationally, home prices have gone up 4.99% over the last 12 months.

Here’s how the major cities rank in Colorado among the 241:

#22 Greeley = 7.94%

#27 Colorado Springs = 7.64%

#63 Fort Collins = 6.34%

#133 Denver = 4.83%

#188 Boulder = 3.41%

** Interesting fun fact: In the WORST economy of our lifetime (2008 recession), home appreciation in Fort Collins only went down 2.2%. Compare that to places like Las Vegas that went down by over 35%! Now that’s a stable economy.**
