Continued good news for Denver housing recovery
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 at 11:03am. 219 Views, 0 Comments.
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?
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010 at 2:36pm. 132 Views, 0 Comments.
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. Keep in mind, like politics, all Real Estate is local. Take the national news about the housing market with a grain of salt, and read your local publications, as well…
Denver benefits from nearly 30% increase in contracts from April '09 to April '10
Wednesday, May 12th, 2010 at 9:32am. 146 Views, 0 Comments.
Say what you will about the home buyer tax credit we have heard so much about. Now that the deadline has come and gone however, it is difficult to argue with it's success. Denver saw a 27% increase in home put under contract this April compared to a year ago, a new record for any April in Denver. We also experienced nearly a 10% increase in median sales prices, up to $230,000. Although we may not be out of the woods yet, it has become clear that the tax credit has certainly stimulated the Denver housing market, and we hope that the momentum continues and carries over into other industries.
