I live between Denver and Boulder, Colorado. The housing market is absolutely INSANE around here. There are so few houses for sale for the demand that we routinely receive letters in the mail asking if we'd like to sell our house - even though it's not on the market! It's nice to see the value of our house rise, but it's beginning to get ridiculous!

I just moved from Boulder in October.
To put Colorado's market in line with other places, it's almost exactly the same rent prices that I pay here in Honolulu.
If there's a correction coming anywhere, I expect Colorado to be slapped hard in the coming years. It's why I choose to rent in this time of crazy bubbles instead.
I miss them mountains, but never really loved the snow, so the beach was extra nice this whole last 75° winter.
Snorkeling over shovels! FTW!
Good for you!
I love it here also, but would prefer to give up the snow shovel for a beach in Hawaii!
;)
A bit of advice before you do.
A 12oz box of cereal goes for $3-$6 depending on the brands, including generics. A bag of granola is $7 and honey is like gold here..lol
My advice before one way ticketing it like I did, is to find land cheap on the big island, and bring your seeds and gardening skills. ;)
LOL!! It sounds like the time I visited Barrow, Alaska and a 24 oz plastic can of ground coffee cost over $20! My wife is actually from Hawaii (Oaho) and I've heard many of the the stories of isolated island life. But even $7 granola sounds pretty good when there's 14 inches of snow on the ground and the temp is -10 !
