1. Are there even any homes that you can by in Colorado for $200,000? Data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis reveals that the median list price for a home in Colorado is around $286 per square foot. That means a homebuyer in Colorado with a budget of $200,000 can only buy a 700 square foot home – the ninth smallest in comparison to other states. (Patch)
