The local figures answer the first question: Colorado's 2024 ACS housing baseline reports a median owner-occupied home value of $539,400, median household income of $95,470, and median selected monthly owner costs of $2,326 for owners with a mortgage. For borrower planning, those three reference points may help a borrower identify which statewide value, income, and recurring-cost assumptions need local replacement first. They remain separate medians, not the price, income, and monthly budget of one typical household, and the $2,326 measure is not a real-estate-tax figure or a current mortgage quote. A real decision continues to require local property evidence, borrower documentation, taxes, insurance, maintenance, association obligations, and current loan information.
For the next comparison in Colorado, read beside the 66.2% owner share and 33.8% renter share, the vacancy figure helps describe how the broad stock was classified without predicting near-term supply. For borrower planning, the borrower should use current listings, property condition, days on market, concessions, and local professional context to answer transaction questions that 8.3% and 2,589,053 were not designed to resolve.
