So the new housing starts are down too…hmmm?  Well what they did not tell you was that prices for single family homes in the Denver metrolist were up over 7% from the previous year and that the number of days on the market were down by over 14%. Prices up? Selling faster?

OK what is going on? We (midwestern values, slow appreciation, investment moderation) metro Denver never inflated the real estate bubble to as big as some other national markets. So when things went south across the country, our market was not as badly affected and therefore we are able to recover sooner.
Sadly, I must report that the Highlands Ranch – Lone Tree market only experienced a 2.7% price increase and a drop in the days on the market of just less than 4% and the number of year to date sales are up 4.2%.
Slow & steady is how I prefer my market

I know, not really a good title but…or that should be however.
The Colorado Railroad Museum is hosting their Goosefest this weekend for Mother’s day. That is a day you can come out to the museum and ride on the famous Galloping Geese of the Rio Grande Southern Railway. There are a number of them active at the museum so there will be lots of waddling and honking going on. And it is great fun for the whole family. You can also look at the large garden railway and the massive HO layout in the basement, ring the bells too!

Check out the Colorado Railroad Museum website at www.coloradorailroadmuseum.org or come out to visit at 17155 W. 44th Avenue, Golden, CO 80403For driving directions and a map, click here Google Maps
