Denver Real Estate Market: Is it REALLY a Good Time to Buy a Home in Denver?

When a statement almost becomes cliche, people naturally start to question its validity. I'm sure you've heard many of us in the real estate industry saying, "It's a great time to buy!". Sure, interest rates are low and prices are down in general...but many people in these economic times need more information in order to make that leap. At the Keller Williams Denver Tech Center monthly team meeting this week, our fantastic in-house lenders, Oxford Mortgage, presented two charts that lay out some pretty compelling evidence that it really IS a good time to be at least considering purchasing real estate. First, a look at the impact of the amazingly low interest rates on the monthly payment for a $400,000 house. $500 is a huge amount, especially considering the 'before' rate of 6.27 really isn't that bad in a historical context.

And, this is the one that might surprise people even more. Take a look at how Denver Real Estate has performed in comparison to other common investments over a 10-year period.

Of course, these statistics don't account for all of the factors that come into play when making the decision to purchase real estate. However, they are quite striking. What do you think?
