Forbes names Denver metro area one of top ten places where it’s better to buy than rent

Forbes magazine took a whole bunch of data, crunched it together and determined that the Denver metro area is one of the top 10 places in the US to buy a house right now because it’s a better buy than rent. (If you want to see the actual link to the Denver metro area you have to click on the slide show within the article.) Some of the data they examined was:

What you would pay to rent vs. what you pay to buy.
Quality of life.
Job stability.

Of course if you already own a home in this area you knew that. If you rent, but are thinking this might be the year to buy, and you can afford it, then talk to a lender or mortgage broker and see what kind house you might be able to afford.
