At the very beginning of this year the local MLS provider published some figures for last year. Admittedly, their data must be flawed because they always post early in the cycle. But they are consistently bad, so I guess that is good. An example: MLS data indicated on 1/3/2012 that 1857 single family homes sold in December and on 1/24/2012 that number was 2184 (my personal search criteria on 2 different dates).

Anyway, what I was going googly eyed over was this real estate listing and sale data in Denver. 2 things I saw after a while…1: when the average number of active listings went down below 10,000, the average price started to climb and 2: The actual number of closed sales also tends to increase? Fewer listings but more sales? Only in Denver!

Some folks have focused on the average asking to the average sale price thinking there is a correlation… and I am here to say there are more folks dreaming big and testing the water when the market proves to be upwardly mobile.

Let me know your thoughts…Is it time to buy? Time to sell? How could I help you?

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned-in the aluminum cans for recycling, you would have received $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily & recycle. It is called the 401-Keg.

A recent study found that the average American walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year. That means that, on average, Americans get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Makes you darned proud to be an American!!!

FEAR FACTOR? I am not a fan of the show, but I seem to remember that you get a great reward if you face the fear, and sometimes throw yourself into it! GREAT REWARD? Hmmm. Just drawing a picture so bear with me…

January 3, 2011 there were 13,112 single family homes on the market.

January 3, 2012 there were 8,088 single family homes available on the market.

AND, in 2011 we sold AND CLOSED more single family homes than we did in 2010. The average sale price varied less than one percent…neighborhood is the difference. The trend continues… do not wait.

If you do not trust a Realtor, you won’t do business with them. Here is one way to get to know me, a little better…in this video.
