Housing and growth

Rent and housing costs in Denver – like a lot of things – have been mostly going in one direction. 

Every month for years, the city’s real estate market has seemed to break records. Buyers were competing with deep-pocketed investors, causing some folks to newly give up on the idea of homeownership – or to get out of town.
