Foreclosures Ending?
Posted by: | CommentsAre Foreclosures done in Denver?
by Bruce McQuiston, www.macgrouphomes.com
HUD Foreclosures have been cut dramatically in the Denver area.
That is a great question and the answer is that Foreclosure sales are way off of the pace from the past two years. Foreclosure inventories by the top Foreclosure specialists are in most cases less than half of what they were just a year ago. Can it be that Denver is out of the woods and moving slowly to a “normal” market? Because we were the first ones in the Foreclosure mess, are we the first ones out of it? It definitely looks that way. Read More→

New park in Erie, Colorado breaks ground.
By Paula King, Erie Realtor
I was excited to attend the ground breaking ceremonies last week for a new 41 acre park that will anchor one of the new “four corners” of Erie, Colorado, a Denver suburb. With community input and a $175,000 donation from Encana, Mayor Andrew Moore unveiled the site plan and turned the shovel of dirt, along with Erie’s elected officials and some community campers that were especially chosen for the event.

Denver: Second Best Market
Posted by: | CommentsBy Larry Hotz, Senior Editor
Robert Shiller is co-author of the Case-Shiller Report on real estate markets.
This week, the Case-Shiller report again announced that Denver is the second best of the major real estate markets in the country. We held up better than the other 18 markets. This is consistent with other reports that Denver has weathered the real estate storm better than most areas of the country.
But, is there opportunity in our relatively strong real estate market for buyers and sellers? You bet there is! Read More→
Happy Trails

Paula King, Second From Right, and Friends on Boulder area trail.
One of the more desirable features of living in Colorado is the expansive trail system throughout the state. In Denver, there are several trails that link up all quadrants of the city. They run over 110 miles. You can ride from the Chatfield Reservoir to Downtown, riding along the Platte River, without crossing a street. I have a client who does that on a regular basis. His legs must be like rocks.
The northern suburbs have a lot of mountain trails around Boulder. Also, there is a proposed inter-city trail Read More→
Boulder Brainiacs
Posted by: | CommentsBy Paula King, Boulder Realtor
Once again Boulder has landed at the top of America’s “Best Cities.” Occasionally “lovingly” referred to as the People’s Republic of Boulder, for its strong individuality, it now can claim the title of “Best Educated City.”
University of Colorado helps Boulder rank first in education.
Forbes magazine rated Boulder number one. They based the ranking on the number of residents 25 and older with a bachelor’s (30%), master’s (17%), professional (3%) and doctoral (5%) degrees, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey. The towns considered were all university, research or corporate havens with strong economics and low unemployment.

Boulder Teahouse
Posted by: | Commentsby Paula King, Boulder Real Estate Specialist
Boulder has a lifestyle of its own. There are some very wonderful things to see and do on lazy Saturday or just about any time.
One of my absolutely favorite ideas for the perfect weekend outing in Boulder is hitting the Saturday Farmer’s Market. Fresh and organic produce and items grown by small farmers in and around Boulder are displayed in a very fun and appealing way. It’s healthy and the people alone are worth the watching.
Then, we like to follow that up by sitting on the patio of the picturesque Dushanbe Teahouse. Read More→
