TOPIC: Improving conditions in Denver’s market


There are some signs of strengthening in our Denver market. The metro area's inventory of available resale housing decreased 20% to 23,120 units in October from October 2007. Some of this reduced inventory is attributed to homeowners taking their properties off the market in frustration because their property is not selling, but lower inventory implies a strengthening market. Remember, the Denver area had housing inventory of 31,989 units in July 2006. Home sales rose 14% to 4,265 in September compared to the same month last year. This is due almost entirely to the lower-end of the market (under $180K) selling like hotcakes. October's median selling price for single-family homes decreased 12% to $206,000 from the same month of '07, and was down 4.7% from September's median of $216,150. Median selling price for single-family homes dropped 10.5% to $222,000 through October, from $248,000 through October '07.Prices are still falling, but at a slowing pace. This trend should continue into 2009 when it is expected to bottom out and slowly climb back. Hang on, it's gonna continue to be a wild ride!

Remember the golf course is now called Black Bear not Canterberry.

Golf Digest ranked the beautiful Black Bear Golf Course as one of Colorado's Top Ten Public Courses. The privately owned, public course opened in 1995 and boasts some of the most dramatic signature holes in the state during its 18 holes. Besides links features, a series of ravines and arroyos winds through the course, making it a haven for deer, antelope, fox and other wildlife. There's plenty of space to practice at the driving range, practice putting green and practice chipping green. Professionals offer help and a fully stocked pro shop and, after a superb round of golf, patrons step into upscale dining at Beckett's Table. Note that the course is privately owned and operated but open to the public.

With Parker Colorado real estate community events, school events, parks, shopping centers, quaint shops, restaurants and the Parker Recreation Center just minutes away, along with the proactive business district of the county seat in Castle Rock, this is a perfect location. Thanks to the E-470 toll way and new Light Rail being built, homeowners can expect comfortable commutes to the international airport and the south metro business and retail centers, including the Tech Center, Meridian, Inverness, and the incredible Park Meadows Mall. The high median-income level of the youngish professional residents is just one sign of how hard they work.

But they also play hard. An energetic bunch, they fully take advantage of the recreational amenities. If not out on the golf course, a walk or bike ride through Sulphur Gulch Trail and open space is a daily event for some. The fairly ambitious folks even ride the trails through to connect with the Cherry Creek system that leads into the metropolitan area. Hikers and mountain bikers love Castlewood Canyon State Park, just a few miles to the south. Equestrians enjoy the 140-acre Salisbury Equestrian Park and Colorado Horse Park. Skiers, snowboarders, snowshoers, and skaters are out under the sunny blue skies playing in the snow. Boats head to the lake and fishermen to the streams.

Sometimes homeowners walk to association meetings and community events, very involved in a spontaneous communication hub, which help nurture neighborliness and keep property values up. Beazer Homes, Standard Pacific Homes, Village Homes, Meritage Homes, David Weekley Homes, Richmond American Homes, and Engle Homes have designed and constructed a large variety of options and collections including options like Heathstead Village Homes with elegant French Cottage, Tuscan and European Countryside architecture.

All this within view of the skyline of the Mile High City! With you in mind.
