On this very day in history, November 6th, 1860. Abraham Lincoln, our 16th President of the United States of America was elected.
Today, November 6th, 2009 -- Our President Barack Obama, signed a bill that will have a dramatic effect on the real estate market, as well as the U.S. economy. One of many substantial acts he has made since becoming the first African American President of the United States of America.
To me this is, at the very least, incredibly inspiring.
There is nothing that we as human beings cannot overcome, let that never be overlooked.
Well, it is now officially in effect! President Obama just signed the extension/expansion of the $8,000 credit for first time home buyers, and now for move up buyers as well. Below you will find a chart with the old bill contrasted by the new bill, so that you may see the changes that are now in effect.

... But now I'm found, and with more exposure than ever!
I'm going to keep this one short and tweet.... I mean sweet...
It's not like I wasn't a believer before, it's just that I never took the time to try it out and I really just didn't see the "how" in Twitter's success. It wasn't until I read one of Steve Schwartz's many blogs on the advantages (and how to's) of using Twitter, that I decided to give it a try.
It was fun at first, but I didn't know if it was "working" just yet. I wanted to find a way to SEE it work.
So I thought, "how do I track how it works?". I decided to post a tweet on one of my blogs, with a link to it. I'd track the hits via Active Rain. I kid you not, every time I post a link to one of my blogs, the hits go up by about 10-20 almost instantaneously! AND, no matter how many times I do this throughout the day, the results stay relatively consistent! This got me excited, and this is just ONE example of ONE avenue of the benefits to using Twitter.
Needless to say, I'm no expert just yet, but I'm definitely an 'on fire' believer! I'm so excited to start my Twitter journey!
First and foremost, if you are considering a move to, or are being relocated to Superior Colorado, I want to start by saying 'Welcome!'. I love this town very much, which is why I live here. More importantly, I love helping people buy and sell their homes here in Superior. So much is available to those who live here, the amenities are endless.
Superior was rated the 24th best place in the U.S. for young and wealthy individuals (CNN Money Mag), albeit a silly title, it does tell you something about the economy within Superior. A large majority of Superior consists of professionals, as a result, the town's economy has proven to be... well... superior!
Choosing a school for your loved ones is an incredibly important decision, and can be quite stressful. You have several choices when it comes to schools in Superior. Superior is a part of the Boulder Valley School District.
If you are going to move to Superior, you are going to need a place to live (duh). Because the demographics consists primarily of professional individuals, the Superior real estate market has maintained a low supply, and a reasonably high demand. This has allowed for property values to remain quite stable in comparison to the remainder of the U.S. (not hitting incredible lows). Along with the stable home prices, the average days on market (DOM) is something to be coveted by other markets. My listings have sold, on average, in about 25-35 days. The overall average DOM remains about 55-65 days (about half the average DOM seen across the U.S.)
The Superior Real Estate market consists of Condominiums ranging from $120K-700K
As well as Single Family Homes ranging from $270K-1M and higher.
There are currently 50 homes for sale, and 30 Condo units for sale.
If you would like to search through the Superior listings, you can do so at my website: www.Luxury-Colorado.com under the "Properties" tab.
Convenience In Location.
As the adage goes -- "Location Location Location". You cannot find a more 'Prime' location in Colorado. Restaurants ranging from 'Fine Dining' to 'Fast food', shopping at one of the best malls in CO. (Flatiron Crossing), 10 minutes from Boulder, 20 minutes from Denver, Costco, Whole Foods, Super Target, Super Walmart... the list goes on. Convenience is abundant here in Superior.
As a resident and a Realtor in Superior, I would love to help you in the purchase or sale of your home, as well as answer any other questions you may have. If you are considering a move to Superior, CO. or any of the surrounding cities, please call Brendan Winans at (303) 829-7214.
