Lyons, CO

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.

One of the best winter rides is Halls Ranch in Lyons.  Halls actually has two routes one from Apple Valley road and the other from the South Facing (better for winter) Route 7 South St Vrain Rd.  The path from the parking lot will lead you to Bitterbrush trail where you will begin to climb through some technical single track you will crest the hill at about 1.5 miles where you will drop down into a valley.  The trail becomes smoother at this point, but you will continue to climb until hook up with the Nelson loop, which can be ridden either way.  The loop is 2.3 miles and is a good way to add some extra mileage if you

 Richard 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

Because each loan provider has his own qualifications, this could vary extensively from lender to lender so you do have to shop around to ensure that you obtain a conventional mortgage on the best possible terms.

For instance, to get the minimum possible rate of interest, you should possess a credit

You’ve probably seen it on the news or certain other television shows. Keeping an environmentally friendly home is the way to go. Plus, it has the potential to save you a lot of money.
