Consider prices and living conditions in various parts of the country; then measure the quality of life of any given community by almost any index you wish, including schools, industry, commerce, clean air, recreational opportunities, and cultural venues. Then take a look at the home prices. In almost every instance, you will note that there is a strong, inverse relationship between good living conditions and the housing affordability index. The old adage that “you get what you pay for” seems to hold true for real estate. However, Ft Collins is a stark exception to this rule. Although this city enjoys a dry, pleasant climate, award-winning schools, a thriving arts community, and unlimited opportunities to enjoy about any outdoor sport you can think of, prices of homes are surprisingly low.
Compared to other urban areas, Ft Collins offer more house for the money, however, don’t expect today’s prices to last. Sales of all types of homes are up, especially for properties under $250,000. The pleasant, dry climate, a long and sundry list of ways to enjoy the outdoors, the quaint downtown shopping district, and the wide assortment of dining and retail venues all help to maintain a permanent demand for homes. The real estate market will always be a top choice for buyers who want an active lifestyle and an ideal place to raise a family.
