Don’t you wish you could write the headlines, the story, and the outcome days, weeks, or even years ahead? I think you can. I’ve been involved in the appraisal, renovation, rental, and sales of residential real estate for 50 years. Yep, I added it up. I started in this business in June of 1976. I worked hard, played harder, and grew up the day my daughter was born. At that moment, I knew how important a home would be! And for the last 33 years, the home Dee and I reside in has been the landing strip for Birthdays, Holidays, and Special Events. The hardwood floors have the patina of love, not wear and tear.

So remember, you heard it here first, you can write your own future, and the Broncos will win the Super Bowl. Really, could I write anything else in this story? We’ve even been having fantastic blue and orange sunsets and sunrises!

This morning’s sunrise!

Yesterday’s Sunset.

Blue and Orange, just like the Broncos! Show me a better predictor…

So what happened this week. Will the MLS confirm my convictions from last week, or are sellers waking up with signs in their front yards?

How does this stack up to the number Total Active Listings? With only 6,235 Total Active right now, this compares well with last week. We are experiencing a market right now that has good absorption and supply coming in at sustainable numbers. I believe we will start the year off in a balanced manner, better for sellers than last year, but buyer-friendly with enough supply to have choices.
