The video tells the story. I'm shocked at how little you get for that much money.

For comparison to Denver prices, this is what $544k gets you in Mansfield, OH. Again, prices are relative to the area itself. If you live in Denver and want to move to a cheaper COL state, sell your home.

...and here is $512k in Joplin MO. https://www.zillow.com/homes/for_sal...79_rect/11_zm/

Its all relative due to a wide variety of factors.

side factor to rising home prices is your property taxes go up. the increase could be dramatic. An acceptable existing mill levey could become oppressive next year. Before you vote think of how much it may cost.

Denver or a dying Rust Belt city between Cleveland and Columbus. Tough choice.

Although I think Denver's housing prices aren't really in line with the overall appeal of the city, there's a reason why you can buy a house in Ohio for less than it costs to purchase a used F-150.

Nobody wants to live there.

You would be surprised how high the property taxes in some of these rust-belt states are. I'm not interested in looking up Mansfield, OH, but I'd bet it's higher than here.

You got that right. I lived for a time in Ashtabula Ohio, a rotting carcass of a rust belt city on the shores of lake erie, about halfway between Cleveland and Erie Pa.

I owned a $68,000 house and my property taxes were over $3000 a year. I don't even pay a third of that now on a $200,000 house in Colorado Springs.

..trashtabula
Ashtabula County has lost jobs for decades, it isn't close enough to Cleveland metro area to see in-migration of population or jobs

Or not.
TABOR.

Even in The Socialist Paradise of City & County of Denver, which has de-Bruced, taxes do not increase at the rate of house market value increases.
My house when from $500K to $750K and taxes went from $3K to $3.5K. Market value up by 50% and taxes up by 17% over the last 5 years.
