Apartment vacancy rates in the Colorado Springs area fell to 5.8 percent during the second quarter of 2010, falling to the lowest vacancy rate reported since 2001. According to a report released today by the Apartment Association of Southern Colorado and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ Division of Housing, overall vacancies fell in the Colorado Springs area from a rate of 9.8 percent reported during the second quarter of 2009. The rate fell from 2010’s first quarter rate of 6.9 percent. The Colorado Springs-area vacancy rate has not experienced an increase since the first quarter of 2009.
The first quarter’s rate of 5.8 percent is the lowest vacancy rate recorded since the third quarter or 2001 when vacancies were 5.4 percent. The vacancy rate rose to 8.9 percent during the fourth quarter of 2001, and never fell below 8 percent again until this year.
“Increases in the local troop population have clearly been a factor, but we’re also seeing the impacts of very little new production in multifamily housing in recent years,” said Gordon Von Stroh, the report’s author and a professor of business at The University of Denver. “Not all permits translate into actual completed units, and for buildings with five or more units, only eight permits were issued for units in a single building in 2009. Zero permits have been issued through May of this year.”
Year over year, vacancy rates fell the most in the Southeast market area of Colorado Springs where vacancy rates were more than cut in half from 17.8 percent to 6.7 percent. Vacancy rates were lowest in the Far Northeast and Southwest market areas with vacancy rates of 4.7 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively.
Vacancy rates for all market areas were: Northwest, 6.0 percent; Northeast, 5.8 percent; Far Northeast, 4.7 percent, Southeast, 6.7 percent; Security/Widefield/Fountain, 11.7 percent; Southwest, 3.7 percent; Central, 7.7 percent.
In spite of significant drops in vacancy rates, the metro area’s overall average rent increased only slightly year over year. This year’s second quarter average rent rose to $719.22 from 2009’s second-quarter rent of $717.65. In individual market areas, from the second quarter of last year to the same period this year, average rents fell in the Northeast, Far Northeast and Security/Widefield/Fountain areas. During the same period, average rents rose in the Northwest, Southeast, Southwest and Central market areas.
“Average rents have increased in the area, but a lack of job growth across the region will keep some downward pressure on rents,” said Ryan McMaken, a spokesman for the Colorado Division of Housing. “This rent data is from June, and June employment data shows that year-over-year employment in El Paso County fell by about seven thousand. It’s tough for apartment owners to raise rents in such an environment.”
Average rents for all market areas were: Northwest, $765.40; Northeast, $703.97; Far Northeast, $840.25, Southeast, $613.56; Security/Widefield/Fountain, $615.66; Southwest, $733.66; Central, $659.79.
Apartment Realty Advisors is also a major sponsor of this report. The Vacancy and Rent Surveys are a service provided by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs’ Colorado Division of Housing and the Apartment Association of Southern Colorado to renters and the multi-family housing industry on a quarterly basis. The Colorado Springs Area Vacancy and Rent Survey reports averages and, as a result, there are often differences in rental and vacancy rates by size, location, age of building, and apartment type.

Building permits up 39 percent year-to-date
Building permits for new housing construction in Colorado are up 39 percent for the period of January through May as compared to the same period last year. According to housing permit data provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, there were 5,089 housing permits issued in Colorado from January to May during this year. There were 3,650 during the same period last year.
However, during the same period of 2005, which saw the largest number of new permits since the national recession of 2001, permits for 2010 are down 73 percent. 18,855 permits were issued from January to May of 2005.
Year-long totals reflect very similar trends. The permit total for 2003, following the national recession of 2001, fell only to 39,446, and had climbed again to 46,000 by the end of 2005. However, by the time of the substantial weakening of the real estate markets in 2007, total permits issued for the year had fallen to 30,420. 2009's annual total for permits issued was 9,393.
The drop in building permits in recent years reflects the increased difficulty in obtaining financing for new residential building projects, as well as growth in housing inventory during the same period. Since 2009, housing inventory has slowly diminished, and rent growth has begun to appear in multifamily and single-family rentals. This would indicate future demand for more building. However, continued difficulty in obtaining financing for construction will diminish demand for new construction, while overall concern about economic growth will continue to drive caution.

Prices up 0.1 percent in the West
Prices in the West, the region that includes Colorado, inched up 0.6 percent from June 2009 to June 2010. According to new Consumer Prince Index data, released today by the U.S. Department of Labor, Overall prices in the region advanced year over year, but fell 0.1 percent from May 2010 to June.
Transportation prices in the region increased the most, year-over-year, as prices increased 5.2 percent. Medical care posted the second largest increase at 3.4 percent. The largest drop in prices was found in housing as prices dropped 1.5 percent, year over year, and 0.2 percent since May 2010.
Nationally, price increases were slightly larger with the CPI's U.S. City Average up 1.1 percent overall, measured year over year. From May 2010 to June 2010, prices fell 0.1 percent. The CPI for housing was considerably more robust at the national level with housing down less than half as much as in the West with a drop of 0.6 percent. This is to be expected since the West, for the purposes of CPI data, includes states with real estate that has been hard hit by foreclosures such as California, Arizona, and Nevada.
Falling prices have been driven by generally weak demand for a wide variety of goods driven by stagnant wages and job losses across the nation and the region. This week, consumer confidence fell to the lowest levels seen since August 2009, reflecting continued concerns among consumers about economic conditions.
Housing prices, for example, have been driven by lackluster growth in both median home prices and in rents across much of the West and in Colorado.
The CPI measures price inflation or price deflation only, and does not directly reflect increases in the money supply.
The All Items Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for the West stood at 221.147 (1982-84=100). This means a market basket of goods and services that cost $100.00 in 1982-84 would have cost $221.14 2010.

1st Quarter Home Price Summary: Home prices indices fall in Colorado's metro areas
FHFA shows measured price declines
Metropolitan home prices in Colorado, based on home sales and on mortgage refinances, showed declines in all metro areas of Colorado. According to the Federal Housing and Finance Agency's first quarter 2010 home price report, Grand Junction and Greeley showed the largest year-over-year declines in home prices with index drops of 10.9 percent and 4.91 percent, respectively.
Pueblo showed the smallest decrease with a fall of 2.54 percent, with Fort Collins-Loveland showing a similar drop of 2.94 percent.
The overall Colorado index, based only on home sales and excluding refinances, showed increases in the Colorado home price index. Since the Colorado index peaked during the second quarter of 2007, the index has fallen 4.1 percent, but it has risen 1.5 percent since the first quarter of last year.
Although home values across the state are down year-over-year, several Colorado metro areas have shown significant price increases over the five-year period since 2005. Comparing to the first quarter of 2005, Grand Junction showed the largest gains with home prices rising 23.06 percent, while Colorado Springs showed gains of 4.82 percent. Only the Greeley area showed home price losses over five years with a 5-year drop of 10.3 percent.
It is likely that Grand Junction's substantial home price increase over the past five years reflects a delayed downturn in the real estate markets given the prevalence of oil and gas activity that continued into 2008 while much of the state was experiencing significant declines in home sales activity and high numbers of foreclosures.
Greeley's value losses over five years reiterate the fact that Greeley was one of the earliest communities to feel the impact of foreclosures and declining demand for for-sale housing.
For all metro areas, the one-year percent changes were:
Colo. Springs, -3.36%
Denver-Aurora, -3.65%
Ft. Coll.-Loveland, -2.94%
Grand Jct., -10.9 %
Greeley, -4.91 %
Pueblo, -2.54 %
For all metro areas, the five year percent changes were:
Colo. Springs, 4.82%
Denver-Aurora, -.03%
Fort Coll.-Loveland, 0.38%
Grand Junction, 23.06%
Greeley, -10.30%
Pueblo, 3.47%
Single-family home prices increase, while condos and townhouse prices drop during the first quarter
The FHFA data shows re-finance activity, but home sales as reflected by broker listings in the MLS data shows statewide increases in median home prices of 3 percent for single-family homes and a 25% drop in median prices for townhomes and condos.
The number of transactions statewide increased 5 percent for single-family homes and increased 22 percent for condos and townhomes. Single-family median prices incrased from $206,667 to $212,500, while condo and townhome median prices fell from $195,000 to $146,667.
In metro Denver, median single-family prices increased 18 percent and the number of units sold increased 1 percent. Year over year in metro Denver, the median single-family price increased from $190,734 to $224,207. Condo and townhouse prices increased 12 percent while the number of units sold increased 14 percent. Condo and townhouse median prices increased from $118,723 to $132,800.
Metro Denver reported the largest increase in single-family median prices, while Loveland reported the largest decline with a drop of 15 percent from $233,333 during the first quarter of 2009 to $197,500 during the 1st quarter of this year.
