It’s really annoying that I can’t get it to line up right in the post below, but this video is so good, I’m posting it anyway. Don’t want to watch it? Click through for a quick summary. Barbara Corcoran named Denver the best housing market in the country a few days ago. The top five? San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, Raleigh and our fair city. She laid out eight things that define a good market. I think its fair to say we’ve got them all: jobs, population growth, good weather, lots of first time homebuyers, no overbuilding, a vital downtown, an educated population and, interestingly, a ton of early cycle foreclosures. Here’s what she had to say about Denver: “This city is clearly on a rebound. It’s really the perfect real estate success story. It had one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, for years running, and now they’ve cut that foreclosure rate in half and its turned the corner. It’s got a vibrant downtown. It’s got a high employment base. It has educated people. It has youth. It has one of the biggest park systems in the country. Everything about Denver is pointing up, up, up. Prices are moving up, just now, after seven years of being down.” Pretty cool. http://blog.riverfrontpark.com/index.php/854/
