As reported yesterday in the Denver Business Journal and citing HSH.com, a mortgage information web-site, the salary required to buy a median priced home in Denver was $48,122. The median priced home was determined to be $279,300 at the time of the data used by HSH.com. The current median home price for the 6-county metropolitan area is $275,000.
Does this mean if you are not making at least $48,122 that you cannot afford to purchase a home? No, as there are plenty of options both above and below the median home price that are available. However, an annual income around $48,000 is what is needed to begin considering a purchase of the “average” home in the Denver market.
