| DENVER CONTINUES TO GROW |
 |
| Denver has become one of the 25 largest cities in America, and ranked as one of the fastest-growing cities as well.
Denver's estimated population as of July 1 was 598,707, putting the Mile High City No. 24 on the list, sandwiched between Milwaukee and Seattle.
Denver's population boom, with its 2.7 percent year-over-year increase, put the city at No. 25 on the Census Bureau's list of the fastest-growing large cities.
Two other Colorado cities were ahead of Denver. Thornton ranked No. 21, and Aurora was No. 22, both with a 2.8 percent increase over last year's population figures. Thornton now has an estimated population of 113,429 while Aurora is home to 319,057 people.
The Mile High City was ranked No. 14 on the Census Bureau's list of cities with the largest numerical increases. Denver gained 15,847 residents in the past year. Aurora was No. 22, with 8,606. |

SHORT SALES & LENDER OWNED
|
|
You've probably heard a great deal about short sales and lender owned properties over the past couple of years.
Many agents shy away from these transactions, as they can be more difficult and time consuming to work on.
I have ample experience with both pre-foreclosure homes as well as lender owned. I can help you on the buying side as well as the selling side.
Let me know how I can be of assistance!

I hope this newsletter finds you doing well!
I've said that Denver's on the up-swing where real estate is concerned. I'm a firm believer and nothing can convince me otherwise.
I see it with the amount of first time buyers entering the scene, the number of foreclosures decreasing, and interest rates that are remaining favorable. Buyers are buying, and sellers are selling!
I'm pleased to see that Denver is getting national recognition on this up-swing. Positive press strengthens the consumer confidence, which we still need.
This newsletter is dedicated to the positive news that's out there. Be encouraged!...The summer of 2009 is going to be GREAT!

DENVER
IS THE BEST CITY To Buy A Home In:
Forbes magazine says in a new ranking of U.S. metro areas.
"While the majority of the nation's housing markets are still working toward a bottom, some cities are boasting fundamentals that make them good places to buy a home now," Forbes reported this week.
The Forbes rankings seem geared more toward each market's current and future potential as a place to buy a home, since some of the cities at or near the top of the list are among those hardest hit by the recession.
The report ranked the 25 largest U.S. metro areas on the basis of change in price per square foot, frequency of real-estate transactions, and how evenly distributed home-sales activity is in a metro area.
"Denver tops the list," Forbes said. "It had 25 percent of its property sales occur within approximately 25 percent of the city's ZIP codes. This means sales in various parts of the city were fairly evenly distributed, showing proportionate activity. The further a city deviates from the 25 percent mark, the less evenly distributed the market is in that city, and thus the lower that city ranks."
Forbes also determined that average price per square foot of housing space increased 5.7 percent in Denver between February and March of this year, and that transactions decreased 8.4 percent between March 2008 and March 2009, less of a drop than many cities.
"Denver scores very well in terms of being able to bring people into a stable housing market," the magazine quoted Moody's economist Christopher Cornell as saying. "It has better growth potential than most cities today."
It's the second time in as many months that Denver has held the top spot in a ranking of real-estate potential.
On May 19, 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."
