Louisville Colorado Market Update

Louisville Colorado Real Estate Market Update

sharon_143

 

If our Louisville Colorado Expert, Sharon Monroe, is any indicator of the market in Louisville things are on fire.  Sharon has been  moving at a fast pace keeping up with the needs of her clients in Louisville, so I decided to take a look at the numbers and we have seen a surge of activity with the absorption numbers moving above 22%, which indicates we are at a pretty balanced market.

We have also see the Median price moving above $430,000, now this does not mean a rise in prices as many people mistakenly assume, the average price per a square foot has actually decreased to around $160 per a square foot.  What it does mean is that higher end homes are selling.

The Old Louisville Inn: Living History

Tuesday, January 24th, 2012 at 12:02pm. 376 Views, 0 Comments.

The Old Louisville Inn is one of the oldest buildings still standing in historic Old Town Louisville.  This beautiful building has been the home of several different restaurant establishments over its 106 years life span. The building was originally built by E.J. Difrancia, who was the Louisville agent for Tivoli Beer in Denver.  The Old Louisville Inn has a picturesque antique back bar that dates back to the 1880s.  This bar is the second oldest in Colorado and features a copper spit trough and a 22 caliber bullet hole.

Market Update Boulder County January 2012

Monday, January 16th, 2012 at 8:30pm. 180 Views, 0 Comments.

Here is the latest economic update from our good friend Dan Johnson with RE/MAX Alliance in Louisville, CO.  Dan gives some insight into last year and a glimmer of hope for the year ahead.

 

January/2012

 

That light at the end of the tunnel may not be another train coming this way. For the Boulder County real estate market that light may be the end to the darkness the area real estate market has experienced since the end of 2005.

For the past three years sales activity has been approximately the same. In 2009 there were 3,665 single family/attached unit sales across Boulder County. In 2010 that number was 3,660 and in 2011 the number was 3,539.

When comparing 2010 to 2011, here are some

Louisville, Colorado has been the darling of the media in the past year winning accolades for being the best town to live in the United States, when looking at Schools, Weather, Housing and access to activities.  Louisville certainly deserves much of the attention it has received.  In the last five years the quaint downtown has been revitalized with hip restaurants, ice cream shops and boutiques.

Here are the latest stats on the residential home side of things:

Colorado looking to steady growth in the year ahead

Monday, December 19th, 2011 at 8:11am. 217 Views, 1 Comments.

 backrange_400Richard Wobbekind, one of my favorite economists, who is with the Colorado Leeds School of business, is predicting that Colorado will have slow steady growth in 2012.  We are not going to see robust growth, but we are going to see growth.  The construction industry which has seen a decline in employment over the last four years is poised to add 2,900 jobs next year.

Wobbekind does caution in the article in the Daily Camera, that if something drastic happens in Europe that throws our stock market into a tail spin all bets are off and we could have rough roads ahead. 

The current numbers and job growth are running parallel to what occurred during the 2001 downturn according to Wobbekind.  If we continue to follow the same growth path we should see

You have purchased a new home and a baby is on the way.... Now what?

Tuesday, November 8th, 2011 at 6:54am. 247 Views, 0 Comments.

 

baby_picture_420 Okay, so you’ve purchased that new home in Louisville, CO and the new kid is on the way. How do you make sure you’re providing a safe environment? As the saying goes, “Proper preparation prevents poor performance,” and nowhere is this truer than setting up your home for kids.

#1: Start from the ground up. In this case we’re talking about their crib. Examine the screws, slats and other parts to ensure that the crib is sturdy. Crib slats must not be more than 2 ¾ inches apart. Keep the crib clutter free; remove the toys when the baby is occupying it. Make sure that electrical cords and the cords of the window blinds are beyond the baby’s reach. Any of these items can be dangerous to your child. Never place a crib by a window where the
