by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, says Denver real estate market is better than most of the rest of the country. In fact, he sees the only cloud on the horizon to be "irrational pessimism" of buyers.
Why Denver?
by Kristine Holvick, The Rivera Team
OK. Every Realtor touts Denver as the best city. So, who am I to be more believable?
Well, I grew up in Denver; moved away from Denver; came back home to Denver. What I know about our beautiful city is that it offers something for everyone. It certainly drew me back. It turns out that old saying is true: "The grass really isn’t greener on the other side of the hill". But, in this case the our grass is even better than it was when I left.

Excitment In Erie
by Paula King, Erie Colorado Realtor
I am excited by what’s been happening in my community recently. We have always been considered the "what?" of high-end Denver suburbs. But, all that is changing.

National Western
by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
January in Denver means our coldest weather and "The Stock Show" is in town. It’s a time to remember our western, ranching heritage and hopefully enjoy the first Professional Rodeo of the New Year.
Over 15,000 animals are somehow housed at the huge Coliseum Complex just 3 miles from the heart of downtown Denver. Of course, there are stock shows, live animal auctions and over 300 vendors peddling their wares to cowboys, gentlemen ranchers, locals and tourists alike. There are groomed horses prancing in smaller rings, live stock on display and even a children’s "petting zoo". Your child might want a ride on a pony or even a camel.
If you haven’t seen it, it is a sight to behold.
Downtown Market Not “Down”
by John Ludwig, Downtown Denver Expert
According to Mike Cote editor of ColoradoBiz Magazine, downtown Denver continues to command top prices for luxury condos and office space.
“Despite the subprime mortgage fallout battering residential real estate, downtown Denver has remained resilient, especially with commercial properties, a group of real estate experts said at a forum sponsored by the Metro Denver Chamber of Commerce and moderated by John Rebchook, real estate editor for the Rocky Mountain News.”
Research by Greg Morris, CEO of Fuller & Co, suggests a rise in the average price per foot of class A commercial office space
