According to local and national experts if we can change the doom and gloom attitude of the general consumer the facts will soon show a turnaround is eminent for the Colorado and more specifically Denver Metropolitan real estate market.
The most recent insight comes from Lawrence Yun, chief economist and Senior Vice President of real estate for the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Yun who recently presented data to the Jefferson County Association of Realtors said that real estate markets tend to be localized and the negative national situation does not represent what is currently an optimistic forecast for the Denver Metropolitan region. Mr. Yun noted that unemployment is lower in Denver and job creation is also becoming stronger.
Price increases seen elsewhere in the US where not as prevalent in the local Denver real estate market, according to Mr. Yun in his recent presentation to the real estate association. It takes a lot less money to purchase a home in Denver then in cities like San Diego or Miami.
A lot of the gloomy attitude stems from the huge quantity of attention the media placed on the collapse of the sub prime lending mortgage market. Wall street made a lot of money during this period and made some mistakes, those should not be translated to the currently much stronger buyer’s market we are currently experiencing. Accordingly it is expected that the Denver Metropolitan real estate market will see a 4 to 5 percent increase while other parts of the nation will experience a much flatter market over the next year. Mr. Yun also predicts that home prices in Denver will increase as much as 5 to 7 percent on average in 2009.
In summarizing Mr.Yun said that if there is a recession this year Denver should weather it much better than the country as a whole. In addition mortgage rates should be become better and this will also help the turnaround in the Denver real estate market he expects results in the very near future.
