This was just too good not to push out just one more time. The many truths from a year ago still hold true today!

Where Are We in the Pricing Cycle?

The Residential Pricing Cycle

The Residential Pricing Cycle

The image to the left offers a view of a typical market cycle from Optimism and back.

This is a great question to determine where everyone is “psychologically” speaking in the current market.

This is obviously not a scientific poll, but it does examine how individuals follow their residential market.

Spend a moment, think through this from both perspectives (Buyer or Seller).  I will keep this poll active long enough to get a reasonable impression of what followers are thinking.

Ten Things I’m Giving Thanks for This Year!

William's Notre Dame Graduation 2010

William's Notre Dame Graduation 2010

Every year, I like to look back at Thanksgiving and reflect on what makes me thankful.  In fact, during Thanksgiving Dinner, I routinely work my way around the table and have everyone there publicly announce for what they are thankful.  It makes great conversation, it can draw tears, but it can draw smiles and laughter, too.  I just think it is healthy to make a public proclamation of ones feelings once in a while.  So here goes:

  1. My Health!
  2. My Family!
  3. My Friends
  4. My old dog!
  5. My Lifestyle!
  6. My Faith!
  7. Where I Live!
  8. Where I work!
  9. My Car!
  10. My Country!

As I write this, I’ve had another birthday this week.  It is an exciting time in my life.  It is an exciting time in our world.  It is an exciting time to be alive!  Amen…

The Future of Denver’s Residential Market 2010

Posted on November 24, 2010 by Dee & Tom Cryer

We enjoyed a great program as Realtors last week as Lawrence Yun, Ph.D. lead us through some history and some predictions.  Dr. Yun clearly and graphically relates the impact of aggressive lending and borrowing habits of the last decade.  This power point presentation is a must for all buyer’s and sellers currently in the market, for those looking to complete transactions in the next couple of years.  The path to recovery is clearly identified.  There is good news for Denver Real Estate!  Enjoy!

10 Things I Love About Colorado!

Posted on November 15, 2010 by Dee & Tom Cryer

“These are a few of my favorite things…” Welcome to Colorful Colorado!!!

  1. 14ers – These are mountain peaks that exceed 14,000 feet above sea level.  In the vernacular, I have bagged 13 of them.  41 To Go!
  2. Vail – Have you ever bonded with a particular location?  Vail is my location.  I like the easy access, I like how much there is that you can’t see from I-70 and I like how close it is to so many other things to see and do.
  3. Lake City/Ouray/Telluride/San Juan Mtns. – If you haven’t driven the back roads from Lake City to Ouray and then over to Telluride and then back around through Ridgeway, you’d have to admit, you hadn’t seen Colorado yet.
  4. South Park – One of my first trips to Colorado included a weekend trip over Kenosha Pass into South Park.  The views are spectacular.  From the top of Mt. Democrat this spring, I was exposed to an entirely different vantage point; South Park is magnificent!
  5. Strawberry Park Hot Springs storied history, a magical place and a landmark that is seldom forgotten.

6.   Mt. Evans – It’s always there, even on a day like this when the clouds role in, it’s there. Mt. Evans looms quietly over Denver always reminding us where we live.

7.  Great Sand Dunes National Monument – The biggest and best sandbox you will ever enjoy!  Very kid friendly too!

8.  Aspen – All that surrounds Aspen makes this a great town and a great jumping off point.  Arrive with plenty of time, there is just too much to do!

9.  The Rampart Range & Deckers – Very near suburban Denver is a fabulous getaway just minutes from my home.  Mountains, rivers, peaks and valleys, it’s got it all.  Never forget about Ranger Bob and the Scraggy Peak Ranger Station!

10.  Last, but certainly not least, I’m going to call this one, Buena Vista and the Arkansas River Valley.  Close enough, but far enough away, it has it all.  Rafting, 14ers, old mining towns, fishing, biking, exploring, hot springs, skiing and much much more, but I guess I could say just about the same thing for the previous 9 favorites.

Now, what are some of your favorites?
