It is a quandary! We moved from Colorado with a good pay increase for both my wife and I only to see that disappear because rent is twice what we paid in Colorado, utilities cost more as well. Looked into buying a house but prices for a nice property are through the roof. We have seen prices come down a bit but interest rates make it impossible.

Colorado will be back in our future!

We moved from Durango! Also doubled salary, but doubled rent cost as well. I spent 10 years in Florida and lived in 4 different cities, never paid more than $825 for a 2/2 unit, looking at rent prices in Florida now is mind blowing. Everywhere seems like a wash for renting, and the last couple years of home rush, has really disrupted things.

Colorado is still pretty good! We are finding homes in Colorado Springs in our former neighborhood for 430k 2700 sq ft nice quiet neighborhood.

Looked at 3 BR apartments as well and see places for over $1000 less that what we pay. In fact we found a 3300 ft house for 2500. 5 BR as well so Colorado is where we will go with in the year.
