According to HSH.com (a trusted mortgage resource), Denver is wedged between Portland and Seattle as the 18th most affordable city out of 25, requiring an annual salary of $48,122 to afford a median-priced home here. Meaning, Denver is the most expensive inland city when it comes to buying a house.
Though on the lower end of affordability, metro Denver’s real estate market continues to boom. Not only is the market moving quickly, but there’s an increasing inflow of new listings.
