The blogged articles below will allow us to look back on the U.S. financial sector for the past 18 months, but looking forward, I am confident that we will bounce back from this crisis and our economy will be stronger than ever. I encourage buyers and sellers in the Denver area to make sure you follow the local real estate market and understand that national statistics may not apply to you and therefore, should not be influencing your decision.  Educate yourself, then consult with a trustworthy, professional real estate agent or REALTOR to represent your best interests.

Updated December 20, 2008 As you already know, we're still in the middle of the Wall Street bailout.  How did it happen and what led to this historic mortgage & credit meltdown?  Corporate greed, corruption, poor decisions and political ignorance all contributed to this mess. The articles below will allow us to look back on the U.S. financial sector for the past 18 months, but looking forward, I am confident that we will bounce back from this crisis and our economy will be stronger than ever.  Once the credit markets get back on-track, buyers will once be approved for mortgage loans and the Denver Real Estate market will thrive.  Please don't mistake my comments for blind enthusiasm - all the leading national real estate economists agree that Colorado is positioned for growth because our job outlook and cost of living is solid.  All real estate is LOCAL - so what's often reported in the news media & newspapers are based on national trends. I encourage buyers and sellers in the Denver area to make sure you follow the local real estate market and understand that national statistics may not apply to you and therefore, should not be influencing your decision.  Educate yourself, then consult with a trustworthy, professional real estate agent or REALTOR to represent your best interests.
