"Economic Commentary - Franklin American Mortgage Company"  

 
 
Westminster, CO - I receive emails from many lending institutions that I have built a relationship with, as I know you have in your real estate career, too!

"Updates to the Economic Snapshot of Broomfield / Westminster Areas  
Westminster, CO -  Looking at the Economic Snapshot in the Broomfield / Westminster Areas of Denver Front Range, we see some GREAT changes in values when compared to the same time frame in 2012!!
That is exciting!!  We have seen an increase of the interest rates by about 1.25% since Feb '13, as well.
We are noticing a bit of a slow down with that 3 months spurt of activity during the Spring, and that is not unusual.   This trend is normal during most years!!

Recently, I was sent a youtube video of a speech done many years ago, by Art Williams.
For those of you that do not know Art, he was a football coach that become one of the wealthiest Insurance company owners in the country!!  His encouragement is fantastic and his belief in the philosphy of "Just do it", is tremendous!  Enjoy his speech!

A Surprise For Our Saturday in Westminster, CO! Westminster, CO - A beautiful Spring day in Colorado has "sprung" upon us overnight!  Of course, we did get a "heads up" about this Spring snow storm, but we are always skeptical about weather reports during this time of the year!  I mean, the weather reports can fluctuate hourly in this "Mile High City"!
Now, keep in mind... that in Colorado, our greatest amount of snow falls occur during the March and April time frame!  Number 1 and number 2, respectively!  Actually, we have had a somewhat mild Winter with the cold and … (21 comments)

"Disgusting Lender To Watch Out For!!"  

Westminster, CO - Wow, not much to say about this organization that is GOOD or POSITIVE, when working a short sale situation for your client!!
They are called, "21st Mortgage Corp", based out of Knoxville, TN.  Their main business is to provide loans on Manufactured Housing!!   Recently, and that is probably over the last couple years, they have gotten into servicing loans.  GMAC, has been releasing their loan service business, and 21st Mortgage Corp has picked up some of that business!!
Now, here is where it gets interesting.  When you review their website … (8 comments)

January 2013 Economic Outlook for Westminster and Broomfield!!

 
In taking literary license with Charles Dickens’ opening line in A Tale of Two Cities, the 2012 Broomfield/Westminster real estate market wasn’t the best of times or the worst of times,

3,531). Attached unit sales were down 1.04% for the same time periods (669 vs. 676). The
collective market was UP 11.67% (4,698 vs. 4,207).
