Denver real estate is in recovery. We’re the baby sapling, taking root and growing strong.
The thing is, we never totally crashed and burned like other cities did. Prices went down for sure and according to yesterday’s S & P - Case Shiller Report, we’ve seen depreciation of 4.9% since this time last year. Compare that with Phoenix, down 35.3% year over year.
Since last month, Case Shiller reports that Denver’s prices have appreciated 1.5%. That’s an awesome bounce. Some analysts think this may be a seasonal adjustment, and may not signal a recovery.
I disagree.
Our available inventory hasn’t risen significantly this year. We didn’t experience the typical big bounce in available listings in the Spring. For that reason, we’ve been able to stabilize the market. The ratio of properties available for sale and days on the market is stable. We still have a stratified market, and we need to see high end properties shake out some inventory.
High end sales are increasing slightly too.
I looked up Park Hill and Hilltop sales since April yesterday, several million-plus sales have been recorded. Jumbo rates have become more competitive in recent weeks and there are cash buyers out there looking for a deal on their dream home.
Appreciation follows a reduction in time on the market.
As the days on the market have fallen, as we’ve begun to have multiple offers, as rates have remained competitive we’ve had appreciation re-enter the Denver market. We won’t get back to double digit appreciation very soon. But buyers beware - if you don’t get off that fence soon, you may be looking back over your shoulder in regret.
Margaret Jackson, the Denver Post’s Real Estate Correspondent wrote more about the S & P - Case Shiller Report in this morning’s paper. Read to the end!

I have been a client and student of professional coaching programs for more than a decade making the transition from virtual learning programs to personalized coaching to make quantum leaps in the growth of my businesses. Once I gained a more complete understanding of the value of professional coaching, the financial investment in programs where placed into a clear perspective.
I have worked with a variety of remarkable people in amazing programs which account for much of what I now teach in my own coaching practice built upon the guidance given to me by my coaches. As a result of these tremendous experiences I continue to seek out opportunities to engage in and share programs from other coaches, teaching new topics, or entirely new methods in order to make major advancements in my business and life.
I was made aware of the work of Master Coach David Neagle by my friend and colleague Mary Kay Morgan. Having just completed Mr. Neagle's "Art of Success" program, I am eager to learn more and therefore am excited to share a unique opportunity to engage in a free coaching session conducted by David Neagle on July 8, 2009 The program in called "Recession Rescue with Results," and it comes at the perfect time for business owners of all kinds including those with traditional businesses, Realtors, Mortgage Bankers, Sales Professionals, Attorneys, Wealth Advisers, Internet Marketers, Network Marketers, Direct Sellers, Service Providers, Product Developers, and anyone wanted to create more wealth and success in a challenging economic environment.
On this Mega-Announcement call, you’ll also learn:
For me, this is about living my life purpose, my core beliefs and what I teach to my private students every day: That the creation of abundance in all forms is directly tied to WHO we’re BEING and the impact we’re creating (in terms of service to humanity) in the world.

David Neagle knows how to help you achieve whatever it is you desire in life. When a tragic accident nearly took his life many years ago, David awakened to the potential previously untapped within him. He made a decision that day to begin the journey responsible for changing his entire life, and now the lives of thousands of others.
After his brush with death, David began to study his own potential. In only 12 months, and with one simple change in his thinking, he tripled his income! Within the next two years the former high school drop-out was an executive corporate manager, a stock investor, and a business owner! David continually sought new mentors with each new level of success he attained. He began to study every great person in history! It wasn't until David began studying The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace D. Wattles, that he fully understood the transformation he'd undergone. Wattles' book uncovered the exact change in David's thinking and in his attitude that had gotten the ball rolling; to create his unstoppable success. Biography Taken from David Neagle's Website I am personally going to be on the all July 8th and I will be participating in the complete training program that is being made available in a unique, high value format.

Colorado again makes news - #1 rebound city, now published in Forbes.com. Our homes closed each month increases, mostly due to our first time home buyers making a move with the $8000 tax credit promised after closing! 40% of sales in Denver are all first time home buyers!
State of Colorado's population has grown from 4.8 million in July 2007 to 4.9 million today. The preception of our economy, along with the weather (minus the tornadoes) and good place to raise children has been publicized all over the US.
If you are a first time home buyer with credit to be able to get into a home today --- WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! There is $8000 waiting for YOU! This tax credit states you have to close by 12/1/09, which means somewhere mid October COULD be your last days.....
