HOPEFULLY, the clouds will clear tonight (in Denver) to view the total eclipse!    The moon will be in the deepest portion of the Earth's shadow and the total eclipse will begin in earnest.    See the Super Flower Moon and a "Blood Moon" eclipse, these will coincide with the total lunar eclipse for most of North America.Get your telescope out, and enjoy the eclipse tonight between 9 pm and 10:30 (mountain time). 05/15/2022

Colorado has been a State that may have wanted to relocate to for years.    Our population has grown tremendously over the last few years.   I think it started when recreational marijuana was legalized and just continued.   We have very low humidity, low unemployment, and people can enjoy the outdoors all year-round.   We do have good weather even in the winter!Last year Denver was #3, so think our home values must have had a factor in this chart!    We are now #5.   Here are the rest of the top ten. Here is Colorado Association of REALTORS® info for Buyers on how the State of Colorado is doing -  I work the entire Denver metro area, so if you have questions on home values, give me a call!  05/12/2022

The stats are out for the month of April, and all the numbers revolve around the increase in interest rates.    With the 1% increase it priced out a few first-time buyers, and some buyers opted out when they couldn't get what they wanted.   This slowed the market, but not drastically.   The inventory climbed about a 1/3 for the month of April, as most weekends in March we saw 2,000 or less.   April's high hit 3,200 for one weekend.    This data is courtesy of Joan Cox - House to Home, Inc. I track data daily for the Denver metro area, and are seeing around 550 price reductions every week (to 3,000 listings) and around 200 homes returning to market in a week's period of time.   Both of these numbers have been steadily increasing daily. See what homes are currently available - Active Home... 05/11/2022

  Over the years, I have seen many reasons homeowners think about moving.    Are you one of these? - There is a baby on the way.    Need another room on the same level as the master bedroom?- You just started a home-based business.    Now you need an office on the main level for possible clients.   Or, you are now working from home permanently?-  You and your family are bursting the seams of your home and would like the additional square footage.-  All the kids have grown and gone, and now you have way too much square footage.-  Your kids have returned home and now they have kids, and need more space. -  You have the opportunity to accept a job position in another state. Rates are moving around, but still low.    Take a look at what the new mortgage payment will do to your monthly house... 05/11/2022
