A Great time to Buy!

REASON Number One:   Buyers have less competition. This looks to be a short term opportunity for buyers, as we would project more buyers entering the market as rates rise.
Sellers - take this opportunity to capture the buyers with creative terms.

REASON Number Two:   Interest rates hit historical lows in June in the mid 4.5% range for a conforming loan rate.  The buying power is off the charts for a buyer to really maximize their housing investment.  For example, a $300,000 loan at 4.5% = $1514 dollars principle and interest per month.  That same $300,000 at 7% = $1984 dollars principle and interest per month or $470 dollars more payment per month or $5640 dollars per year more.  The average person lives in their home 5-7 years meaning the savings in payments over 7 years would be $39,480! 

REASON Number Three:  Sellers in entry level single family price ranges which is below $350,000, can position their home against fewer properties this year than previous years.  The tax credit absorbed quite a few entry level properties making for a unique “Move Up” opportunity for sellers.  Sell at close to list price on the entry level home and become a buyer in the upper price range and look for a discount.  

REASON Number Four:  The last time the Denver market had 3 consecutive months of sold data that exceeded the previous year was 2005.

Historically, 3 straight months of increased sold data would signal the market is on an upswing.  Since the Tax Credit artificially increased sales in April, watching this data over the next 3 months will be good indicators if Denver is on the rebound for appreciation or if we are still bouncing along the bottom of the market. 

REASON Number Five:  Denver is considered by numerous experts as the city that will out perform the national market in job growth and job stability for the next several years.
