Well, Warren Buffett might just be right!! My Louisville listing is under contract 14days after hit the market, and my Lafayette one is getting great action...so if any interest in it, call soon. Lets talk asap if you need/want to buy or sell a home in Louisville, Lafayette, Boulder, Broomfield, Erie, or the surrounding area..I am the veteran who has lived here 42 years, and sold homes for 27of those! See Warren's statement below, my listings, and more.

Warren Buffett Sees Housing Market Bouncing Back by 2011: Billionaire Warren Buffett said the U.S. will recover from the residential real estate slump by 2011 as demand for houses catches up with the supply that accumulated during the bubble.

"Within a year or so, residential housing problems should largely be behind us," Buffett wrote Saturday in his annual letter to the shareholders of his Berkshire Hathaway. "Prices will remain far below 'bubble' levels, of course, but for every seller or lender hurt by this there will be a buyer who benefits. Indeed, many families that couldn't afford to buy an appropriate home a few years ago now find it well within their means." Record foreclosures flooded a U.S. real estate market already glutted with unsold property, causing housing starts to fall.

"People thought it was good news a few years back when housing starts — the supply side of the picture — were running about 2 million annually," wrote Buffet, 79, chairman and CEO of Omaha-based Berkshire. "But household formations — the demand side — only amounted to about 1.2 million." If you're considering a Home Purchase, then now is the time to take action! Call me, Carrie DeGraw, 303-548-8732

Denver home prices begin to rise

The Denver area, and espcially Louisville/Lafayette/Boulder, is one of only four areas to experience increased home sales prices, according to the Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home-Price Index. Denver’s S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index yearly percentage change improved for the tenth consecutive month, increasing 0.5 percent between November 2008 and November 2009. As reported by Standard & Poor’s, “Looking at the annual figures, four markets – Dallas, Denver, San Diego and San Francisco – have finally entered positive territory, something we really haven't seen in at least two years in most markets” (www.standardandpoors.com).
Prices increased nationally as well. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the national median existing-home price for all housing types increased 1.5 percent from December 2008 to December 2009. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, attributed that to an increased number of mid to upper-priced home sales. The nation hasn’t experienced a gain in median sales prices since August 2007. Yun also gives credit for the increase to the first-time home buyer tax credit that was originally to expire in November of 2009. He said, “There were no surprises in the data. It’s significant that home sales remain above year-ago levels, but the market is going through a period of swings driven by the tax credit” (www.Realtor.org).
What is surprising is that the median sales price increased despite the number of distressed sales that occurred during 2009. According to NAR, “Distressed homes, which accounted for 32 percent of sales last month, continue to downwardly distort the median price because they generally sell at a discount relative to traditional homes in the same area. Distressed homes accounted for 36 percent of total sales last year” (www.Realtor.org).
Denver also experienced an increase in distressed sales. According to the Denver Post, “The number of foreclosures going all the way to a public trustee sale fell to 20,437 last year, down 4.1 percent from 2008 and 18.4 percent from the 2007 peak” (www.DenverPost.com). And Denver surprisingly still experienced increased sales prices.
The Denver Metrolist reported an increase in the average sold price for the Denver Metro area as well. The average sold price for residential homes and condominiums in the Denver Metro area increased 13.6 percent from December 2008 to December 2009. The average sold price in December 2009 was $255,877, compared to December 2008, when it was only $225,257. The average sold price increased 7.1 percent from November 2009, when it was $226,895.

First things first before I get to real estate. I started a new business recently, joining a giant and proven company that helps people save serious money on major and day to day purchases, and affords those that might want to earn a significant secondary income that opportunity….or to make a 6 figure + primary income if they desire. I am looking for some sharp people to join me in this venture, people who want to keep more of their money in their pockets, and/or don’t mind sharing this opportunity with others who want to save and earn.

We sell a benefits + membership package that affords everyone the buying power of a huge group…and we all understand how that saves, with factory direct prices on many major items like furniture, cars, insurance, long distance, and more. You also are instantly able to sell/buy products through your very own web site from hundreds of major retailers while earning commissions on these items…household names like Sears, Kohl’s, Golf Smith, Home depot, Best Buy, and so many more. There are huge upside advantages of our proven system with Team National, and the impeccable credibility of the company. You can have your own business instantly with low to no investment, and avoid so many normal business hassles, like partners/employees/bosses/large bank notes/ inventory/payroll taxes/building or rent/ etc.

If you genuinely want to be in a people helping people business that can give you financial and other freedoms, go to my BigN site, and invest a few minutes looking over the Your Road To Financial Freedom video …see the tab on the left side, fill out the few bits of info, and click/view. See the BigN Marketplace tab and the huge list of business we are involved with while there, and maybe look at a few success stories on that tab. If you want to talk or meet about this, give me a call. Carrie… 303-548-8732. http://www.bign.com/TeamNational.aspx?site=cdegraw

Back to real estate, see the info and chart below form the REMAX market update. Not only is Louisville the best place to live in America, it is one of the paces you can still sell a house relatively fast.

Below is a brief overview of the absorption rates for single family homes for the area counties and local communities through September/2009. The Absorption Rate is the length of time it would take for the existing inventory to sell assuming two things happen: (1) the rate of sales activity remains the same, and (2) no new listings come into the marketplace during that period of time (this is not going to happen). (IRES MLS is the source of information.)

Be aware that there is light at the end of the tunnel, we are battling back as a community, city, and state...lets all pull together and accelerate the recovery. read on for some stats on the good news.

Denver continues to lead the nation in annual returns

Denver recorded the best year-over-year return in the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index during April 2009. Prices fell 4.9 percent from April 2008 to April 2009. According to the S&P/Case-Shiller report, “Denver, Dallas and Boston continue to fare the best in terms of annual declines down 4.9%, 5.0% and 7.7%, respectively” ( ).

Denver’s monthly change shows even more improvement. Denver home values increased 1.5% from March 2009 to April 2009. April was Denver’s second consecutive month of positive changes in home values. David M. Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor’s expresses some hope for the housing market, “Every metro area, except for Charlotte, recorded an improvement in monthly returns over March. While one month's data cannot determine if a turnaround has begun; it seems that some stabilization may be appearing in some of the regions.

Denver is America’s best city to buy a home

Forbes magazine named Denver the best city to buy a home. According to Forbes, “Denver scores very well in terms of being able to bring people into a stable housing market” ( ). Denver
earned its ranking with a 5.7 percent increase in average price per square foot of housing space and the small decline of transactions compared to other cities throughout the nation. The Denver Business Journal also reported, “Denver was named America’s No. 1 city on the verge of recovery in a segment on NBC’s ‘Today’ show. Real estate expert Barbara Corcoran, a regular guest on the show, said Denver more than any other U.S. city is ‘clearly on a rebound’” ( ). Data for May 2009, from the Denver Metrolist, supports Barbara’s view.
