| | colorado statewide apartment survey q1 2026 results | | |
Results from the latest Colorado Statewide Apartment Survey show statewide average rents going down and statewide average vacancy rates going up. In the newly released Q1 survey, the statewide average rent for market-rate multifamily rental properties is $1,492 per month, down 0.4 percent from this time last year, but up 1.2 percent from the prior quarter. Statewide median rent is $1,458, down 0.8 percent year-over-year, but up 1.3 percent from last quarter. The average vacancy rate statewide is at 6.4 percent, an increase of 16 basis points (bps) from this time last year, but down 69 bps from the prior quarter.
Survey researchers and authors, 1876 Analytics LLC, an affiliate of Apartment Appraisers & Consultants, Inc., expect apartment permitting activity and the ratio of multifamily renters to total households to remain high, and likely increase, in most areas of the state throughout 2026. They say they expect that to be the case even with recent softening, because of generally strong market fundamentals and continued affordability issues in the for-sale markets in Colorado and nationwide. They expect demand for apartments to remain high and likely increase in the near to medium term.
CHFA sponsors the Colorado Statewide Apartment Survey to help provide up-to-date information, as of the date of the survey, on the multifamily rental housing market throughout the state of Colorado.
