Colorado cities — momentum scores, home values & rankings

All states·Colorado

88 Colorado cities tracked. Sorted by composite momentum score (home prices, rent, population).

Long thesis

The state has 78 tracked cities with a 50/100 pop-weighted momentum. Bull case rests on the variance in the distribution — not every city moves with the average, and the top of this state's distribution is doing fine.

Short thesis

State median 1-yr change is -2.0% — that's not a fluctuation, it's a trend. When the median city is declining, the average city is. Bear case is patience: the floor may not be in.
