Best In Colorado Real Estate™: Denver

Denver ranks #5 of 7 Colorado metros on housing vacancy rate — 5.3% of units are unoccupied. This isn’t a sign of market weakness, but of deep structural imbalance. The vacancy rate reflects a mismatch: supply is concentrated in high-end or underutilized units, not in affordable housing.
