I often work with buyers relocating form other parts of the country or even the world. My job is never dull, every assignment is always different from the last. The best part is getting to meet a diverse group of people with interesting backgrounds and some fascinating expectations.
Colorado is a wonderful place to live. It’s so easy "selling" people on a place I love. Of course most of the folks I work with are enamored by the thought of moving here, so my job becomes even easier.
Questions I get to answer are about our low property taxes, automobile insurance rates, lack of crime, excellent schools and amazing weather.
Our appreciation has not been record braking, but it is steady and consistent. Over the past 3 years Denver has had 9% appreciation.
Denver residents only spend about 16% of their income on housing compared to 16% nationally and 30% in the top 20 metro areas.
Average annual employment in the Metro Denver area has been increasing also.
The current average home price is about $248,400 above the national average, but well below the larger metro markets. These are the markets that truly are fueling our industry right now. Relos are fleeing these markets, cashing in their equity for a less expensive, simpler life.
Less is more.
Should we talk? Denver real estate and relocation
