One in four Silicon Valley-based searches on house-hunting site Redfin . That’s up from one in seven four years ago. And of those who look elsewhere, a fraction of a percent are hunting for a house in the Denver Metro area.
A fraction — Denver’s share is 0.32 percent to be exact — doesn’t sound like much. And Redfin won’t say how many people that entails. Maybe it’s just a dozen people. Maybe it’s thousands.

Housing is also much cheaper here. Redfin puts the median house price in Silicon Valley at $1.05 million, compared to Denver’s $335,750. Still at that price, Denver lands at number 11 outside of the Bay Area for top regional searches, according to Redfin:
