In 2012 Analysts predict:

The Number of Homes SOLD will rise.

The Number of New Listings will rise.

The Sales Price will DROP by Approx. 5.1%

Many Foreclosures will come on the market as lenders get caught up on processing the backlog of foreclosed properties. These BANK OWNED properties will come on the market in a lower price range than comparable properties being listed by HOME OWNERS making it difficult to get top dollar for seller owned homes. Thus causing the predicted 5.1% decrease in sales price for 2012.

Grand Junction Colorado Market Report, Mesa County.

Grand Junction Colorado Market Report, Mesa County

The NUMBER of home sales were slowly on the rise for the last quarter in Colorado due mostly to buyers taking advantage of lower home prices and mortgage rates.

Home PRICES continue to be LOWER due to joblessness and slow business overall.

As lenders complete processing on more of the foreclosures that are pending, more properties will appear on the market for sale at lower prices, this will not be helpful to home owners trying to get top dollar in today's market, as there will be many comparable homes on the market at reduced prices.

After mortgage companies formally foreclose on the homes, and the larger inventory of homes at reduced prices hit our market, prices are expected to DECLINE an additional 5.1% in 2012. Savvy home buyers have learned to search for homes that have been foreclosed upon at discount prices and homes that are offered as short sales. This makes it a tough market for home sellers.

Recovering from the economic fallout of the financial crises is not expected for quite some time, according to real estate analysts. The impact of the foreclosure crisis is expected to be long lasting.

Percent of estimated decline in Grand Junction Home Prices

In Grand Junction home prices are declining at some of the fastest rates in the state. But hopefully, IN THE LONG TERM this will not be the case. With the exploration and developments in the natural gas industry in our region the future may be promising.

The Bookcliffs, (a geologic formation) located on the outskirts of Grand Junction, are said to contain more oil than 5 times that of Saudi Arabia at an estimated 1.5 trillion barrels of oil. These oil shale reserves will someday be mined, sending home values much higher due to employment opportunities and increased income, and a demand for housing for workers in the oil and gas industry.

I have 3 babies...

Romeo is my 4 year old Yorkie. He thinks he's a little Stallion, and is Super Dog! He has that "MIGHTIER than Thou" attitude, and will stand up to ANY dog. He tries to be friendly, ALWAYS, but if they are snippy, he snips right back. Hafta be careful he doesn't become a "snack" to a big dog!

He LOVES to talk, and will carry on a long conversation in the cutest little voice, with all kinds of cute doggie talk. Especially on the phone. He knows EXACTLY what he's saying. So do I MOST of the time! LOL! He's really tiny! Such a sweetie!

Romeo putting his ear to the UPSTAIRS floor, trying to hear us DOWNSTAIRS, planning his BIRTHDAY PARTY!

Romeo

Juliet is my 4 year old SPAYED Female Yorkie. She's 2 weeks younger than Romeo. SHE IS the BOSS of the house! She gets EVERYTHING she wants! She also LOVES to talk! She GROWLS the whole time. It's clearly a playful and cute growl mixed in with little woofs. She will get her point across with body language and making you FOLLOW her to whatever she is talking about. She SMILES constantly, and is SO LOVING! I understand just about every word she says too! LOL!

Juliet running (actually air-born!)
SMILING big leaping up to greet us at the front door. She SMILES so cute!

Julie Smiling, Leaping up to Greet!

When Julie went in for her SPAY Surgery there were complications and she had a long recovery. Romy and our Kitty, Tissy, NEVER left her side. Romy even tried to carry water to her mouth and would waddle so cute trying to slowly walk carrying a mouthful of water to her, then dribble the few drops that made it, on her lips. Tissy kitty curled around her and kept her warm.

Babies Cuddling

They are truly in LOVE!

Romy and Jujee KISSING!

Miss TISSY is OUR Kitty! She is everyone's MaMa. She is a 10 year old SPAYED Himalayan. She is very confused! Thinks she's a Yorkie. She runs to the door when someone knocks, Waits with Romy and JuJee at the front door when I leave, Runs along the fence with Romy and JuJee when they bark at the neighbor's dog, Jumps up on visitors. Sits up and begs at the dinner table, and is inseparable form Romy and Jujee. Even hangs her head out the window with them when we go Bye-Bye! Loves to go to PetSmart, PetCo, Home Depot, Lowes, and Hobby Lobby. And LOVES all the attention from the shoppers. She WILL NOT let me doze off when I relax in the tub. Soon as I close my eyes and drift off she SMACKS ME in the face! Guess she thinks I'll drown. LOL! By the way She LOVES to float in the tub, and will swim around or just sit there until the water starts to get cold. Like I said, she's a little confused about the cat thing, so we just treat her like a Yorkie! She's a love bug!

Your Home's VALUE, a matter of PERCEPTION. How do YOU see it?

Your Home's VALUE, a matter of PERCEPTION.
How do YOU see it?

If you ask several people what they think the VALUE of your home is; you are likely to come up with several different answers.

That's why your REALTOR's opinion should be relied upon when listing your home for sale. They know the market, and they know how to PROPERLY PRICE the home to get it SOLD.

Your Realtor has an UNBIASED opinion that is determined by doing a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA, also known as a Current Market Analysis or Competitive Market Analysis depending on who you ask.)

Below are the results of an In-Depth Study that was performed; Based on the opionions of parties involved in a real estate transaction. We asked the the value of a particular home and none of them could agree. They all have a different perception, and a different point of view.

So this is how your home's value is seen through the eyes of the seller, the buyer, the lender, the appraiser, and the tax assessor:

Home As Seen Through the Eyes of:

The Seller:
Home as seen by Seller
The Buyer:
Home as seen by Buyer
The Lender:
Home as seen by Lender
The Appraiser:
Home as seen by Appraiser
And Your County Tax Assessor:
Home as seen by County Tax Accessor
As you can clearly see by the above study, EVERYONE has a different PERCEPTION on the VALUE of YOUR Home.
That's why it is important to consult with your Realtor to determine the Asking Price.
Your Realtor knows Your Market and how to
Properly Price your home!
