parker colorado: Metro Denver Real Estate Market Update – February 2018
- 02/28/18 04:11 PM
Despite a dip in sales year-over-year, January 2018 data showed a very active month for the Greater Metro Denver housing market. Over 4,000 homes went under contract – a 34% increase from last month and 9% higher than this time last year.
With the market picking up from the typical year-end slow-down, January 2018 showed a strong start in Denver’s housing market.

In our crazy economy, when prices are going up on everything and when income is staying the same or decreasing for many families, it's necessary to find ways to save. Let's face it - most of us have little say in the price of gasoline, electricity, or groceries. A homeowner has to find ways to save money when possible.
