Four Colorado cities on top markets list

When the current clouds hovering over the real estate industry have passed, it goes without saying that some markets will have survived the gloom better than others.



According to HousingIntelligence.com, four Colorado markets – including Boulder – will be among those that will shine in three to five years. Only Texas had more cities on the list than Colorado, with nine making the list of top 21 markets – most of which were in the western or southern U.S. And most of those on the top 21 worst markets in three to five years were in coastal states.

Here’s a complete look of the markets the real estate information source expects to thrive, as well as those that will take longer to recover when the market improves:
