According the the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Boulder County ranked 23rd out of 294 metropolitan statistical areas in 1 year appreciation for the time period ending March 31, 2009.  The yearly appreciation for our area was reported as 1.99%.  As a nation the appreciation was -7.14%.  As a state, Colorado ranked 13th with -1.7%. 

The top states in the rankings were Alaska (4.79%), Oklahoma (.3%), North Dakota (.3%) and South Dakota (.29%).  In fact these four were the only states to record a positive return for the year.  The hardest hit states during the past year were; Nevada (-31%), Florida (-22.46%), California (-22.12%) and Arizona (-19.51%).
