The Denver housing market continues to trend upward for the sixth consecutive month. We first saw the positive signs in November when the average sale price for that month rose .5% over the same month in 2008. For each consecutive month that number has risen (although modestly), to the April peak of 4.4%. Although it is clear that the home buyer tax credit had a positive influence on these pigures, and may have caused a temporary spike in our statistics, we still appear to be headed in the right direction. Most experts are telling us now that May and June will be the most telling statistics as the tax credit tails off. To read the full article, please click the link below.

How will Denver neighbhorhoods respond to the recent recession?

Although we have been relatively fortunate overall in the Denver housing market, at least when looking at cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Miami, and other largely coastal areas, it may not always be in the neighborhoods within Denver that you would expect. We must remember that the recent housing recession is most accurately described as a market correction. Due to several factors in the late 1990's and early 2000's, Because this is largely a market correction, and not a blanketed recession, we are seeing some very different numbers in different neighborhoods through the Denver Metro area.
