Colorado, cities rank well among metros throughout nation in home appreciation

Colorado and all of its metros’ housing markets continue to demonstrate their resilience, even in a recession.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency ranked Colorado at No. 11 out of 51 markets for a quarterly appreciation of 0.17 percent. Boulder, coming in at 44th out of 290 metro areas, was the highest-ranking Colorado city. Denver-Aurora-Broomfield was the next Colorado metro on the listing, coming in at 86th, and Fort Collins-Loveland was next, ranking 84th.

No Colorado cities made it into the top 20 highest appreciating cities, but none came in the bottom 20 – which was dominated again by California and Florida with a couple of cities in Nevada and Arizona thrown in – either.

Take a look at how Colorado and its cities compared with the national appreciation rate:
