The report says first-quarter rents in the area remained $11.15 below the record of $1,141.40 a month set in the second quarter of 2017. And rents have leveled off somewhat over the last three quarters after nine straight quarters in which rents have reached record highs.
Apartment Association of Southern Colorado Executive Director Laura Nelson says it will take a few more quarters to know whether rents have plateaued.
