Speaking of ending well, 2011 is quickly drawing to a close and it was another great year for my clients and those at Re/Max of Cherry Creek. Although the market hasn’t returned to its hey day (and don’t hold your breath hoping for that), sales are still reasonably strong and with inventory pretty low, may create some golden opportunities for sellers in the new year. It appears that the cause of the shortage of houses on the market includes several factors: first off, many homeowners are holding off selling because they think that the market is so bad, and they are pining away for the old days and higher prices; secondly, with the job market being as tight as it is, people just aren’t moving around as much as they have historically. For the past couple of decades, people moved on the average every 6.5 years. Currently the figure is closer to every 11 years; and lastly, many baby boomers are simply deciding to stay put with many feeling a bit uncertain about their retirement prospects give the US and world economies.

So, what will we have to look forward to in 2012? Very hard to say, but there may be a bit of a golden opportunity for those wanting to sell. With interest rates at historically low levels, the appearance of an economy beginning to show some strength and the shortage of listings for buyers to choose from, sellers could be in the best position that they’ve seen in years.

Let me know if I can help answer your real estate questions, and I hope you have a wonderfully Christmas and holiday season. See you in 2012!

The area is an eclectic mix of older residents, some of whom have lived here over 40 years, and young professional people drawn to the area because they appreciate the style, charm, and the convenience to being close to Cherry Creek shopping, buslines, downtown, hospitals, numerous parks and recreational facilities.

SOME OF THE ATTRACTIONS nearby include Congress Park itself with basketball, tennis, swimming and playing fields. Cheesman Park with its’ wonderful views, Botanic Gardens with it’s superb outdoor programs,t City Park with the Zoo and Natural History Museum, he Tattered Cover bookstore, and the 7th Avenue Parkway, perfect for biking and jogging.

ON A SMALLER SCALE, neighbors enjoy the little things that make the area special including the company of one another at block parties, the many conveniences of shopping areas that run the gamut from the upscale Whole Foods to the down home shops of East 12th Avenue and just walking around this quiet, yet active residential area.

RESTAURANTS ABOUND. Check out the Barolo Grill, Goosetown Tavern, Tommy’s Thai, Annie’s, Daz Bog, Chez Jose, Cucina Calore, Irish Hound Pub and others in Cherry Creek too numerous to mention. The Colfax corridor is undergoing an exciting revival with several new spots including the Mezcal, Atomic Cowboy, and Encore at the Lowenstein Complex.

PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY. Join one (or all) of the three civic associations in the area, visit the local elementary schools including Bromwell, Teller, Steck, Good Shepherd & Waldorf. Most, but not all of the children attend East High School and either Morey or Hill Middle Schools.

I’ve lived in and enjoyed this neighborhood for over 20 years. I think you’ll enjoy it too!!!
