At least according to Trulia.com,

Quote:
Its ideal climate, world-class outdoors scene, and strong Denver tech economy lure transplants from all over the country. And, despite slim housing inventory to accommodate its rising population, the Mile High City remains an attractive option for home buyers.
Why is Everyone Moving to Denver?

Of course if you read the author's profile, he's from San Francisco, so presumably in the "Wow, Denver is a great bargain!" camp. And he thinks pot and breweries are a big factor too.

Lol every property owner in the U.S. feels the same way.

Rentiers suck, no two ways about it. Property owners are no different than lawyers, bankers, and insurance people.

I moved because my company was purchased, the new company moved their engineering to Denver and offered me a promo/nice raise to come.

I always loved it out west, figured I'd end up in SLC some day due to the wife's family being there but Denver is close enough to SLC and gives us the nice weather, mountains, weather, etc..

Every market provides challenges. Currently, it's hard to win offers for buyers under $600,000. It's not uncommon to see 10-15% over asking in the $300,000 and under market.

It's great to be a listing broker right now. Get photos, post to MLS, wait for the showings and offers, present to seller and let them choose, guide the transaction to an on time closing.

So how do you feel that your salary, with this promotion and raise, stacks up to the cost of living here in Denver? Is it sufficient have the living standard you expected to have?

I moved here strickly for a job when it was much less expensive. I am currently trying to figure out what to do. Every year I stay in Denver I get poorer.

I moved to Denver to get back to the continent. I love the fact that Denver is a large city and has many amenities. I don't like the unfriendliness of the place as far as business is concerned. Everyone seems to be trying to rip others off. Not sure how sustainable things are out here economically. I'm also enjoying the diversity of foods available. I wish Denver had more quality jobs. Not sure how things will turn out in a recession.

Probably people move out of their current situation for a better life. Less traffic, bigger house, job transfer. Relative to coastal cities Denver is doing the right things.
