According to industry experts, Colorado real estate
markets have experienced a growth in recent years
that is indicative of future increases. This is particularly
relevant for investors in rental properties, which are
experiencing an increase in demand due to a
nationwide trend toward renting versus owning.

3.  Surveys in early 2014 showed that this trend is
present in major Colorado housing markets
such as Denver, where rents increased 11
percent over a 12-month period and
vacancies settled at a historic low in 2014.
This increase in rental demand has led to
widespread new construction across in-demand
communities. Authorities in the
National Association of Realtors and other
nationwide industry organizations suggest that
this trend may continue and broaden through
2015.

4.  Experts suggest that single-family new
home construction is also likely to grow in
2015, both in Colorado and on the
national level, as job availability and
demand for housing increase.
