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 !
