I wanted to pass along this great article about Colorado Foreclosures from the Rocky Mountain News. Governor Bill Ritter and Senator Ken Salazar are urging Colorado Homeowners to use the free counseling hotline for those in the danger of Foreclosure. The hotline connects homeowners with about a dozen nonprofit counseling agencies. Since October of 2006, it is estimated the hotline has helped approx. 5600 families keep their homes.

colorado: Colorado Skiing-It's Now or Never
- 03/31/08 03:03 PM
Well if Never means next November, than the headline is accurate. Spring skiing should be in full swing this week as mountain resorts have received up to a foot and a half of snow over the past 24 hours. In Steamboat Springs, the ski resort broke a record for seasonal snowfall. With 470 inches (and counting) of snow this season, they have easily eclipsed the previous seasonal record of 447.5 inches. The average snowfall at the Steamboat Resort is 334 inches! For those who are mathematically challenged, that is almost 40 feet of snow this year! My back is aching just thinking about … (2 comments)

colorado: Ignore the Headlines? Not so fast my friend!
- 03/11/08 04:11 AM
Just when I think the Media is too out of touch to save, they surprise me. A Time Magazine article by Dan Kadlec, in the Right on Your Money section tells us that the sky is not falling! Wow, how about that, a guy who gets it. His premise is when home prices are falling few people have the discipline to use that money to buy other assets, instead they spend it on consumables. And those who pull the trigger now, will benefit in the long run. He cites a great example of a very likely scenario; "Consider a typical home that sells for … (17 comments)
colorado: Some Great Denver Home Buyer & Seller Information!

So, with the disclaimer out of the way, here we go... What does my Lender want from me?The Home … (2 comments)
