Housing prices up or down ???

Have Home Prices in Metro Denver Gone UP OR DOWN ????

The media says… Overall prices have gone up around 3% in Metro Denver, Colorado.
BUT when you look at “individual” neighborhoods that information is meaningless
IF you plan to buy or sale a home.

Prices can range between -36% to +49% - Pretty crazy isn’t it ?

It is VERY important that you are working with a Real Estate Agent who knows the FACTS in the neighborhood you are interested in. It can make a CRUCIAL difference to you as a buyer or seller to have the CORRECT information.

See below for a few samples.

PERCENTAGE OF PRICE CHANGE FROM JUNE 2009 TO JUNE 2010
