As we approach the end of 2013, we look forward to 2014 and all the New Year will bring.  This has been a busy year in real estate as we experienced the transition to a very active and productive real estate market in Metro Denver.  We started the year with listings selling within hours of being placed on the market and that activity held for quite some time.  Interest rates, this year, have been at all-time lows, making the American Dream of Home Ownership possible for many.  A fast grown market, as a result, are the Millenials, born between 1981 and 2000.  Low interest rates and loan down payment programs, along with some sellers willing to pay closing costs, have moved this generation into home ownership status, rather than being locked into renting until they have saved for a larger down payment.  We have also witnessed people down-sizing as a result of the challenges of the economy and loss of jobs over the last five years, and of course, the opposite, where people have seized the opportunity to move to larger homes due to off-setting low interest rates.  In all, it has been a good year, and we all look forward to starting a successful new  year!

Technology, especially that available to the real estate industry has had an amazing growth!  I learned long ago to embrace new technology, but also to remember that not everyone does, so I still maintain the traditional means of conducting business to serve all of my clients according to their needs.  To me, this is what providing excellent real estate service is all about.  Each client has their own approach, style and needs, and I believe it is my responsibility to serve them accordingly.

If you are Thinking of Buyer or Thinking of Selling, or know someone who is, please contact me!  I would like to put my Proven Marketing and Buying Programs to work for you!
