Interesting survey from the National Association of Realtors.

Even though this survey is from November 2009, the Denver area real estate market is still largely following this trend.
While the tax credit has expired, interest rates are at or near record lows, home prices remain affordable and there is a reasonable amount of inventory.
If you are thinking about buying your first home and would like additional information about the process, I would be glad to answer any questions you may have.
I offer a Free First Time Home Buyer Consultatioin and Home Buyer's Guide that goes through the entire process in detail for you.
It is still a great to buy a home in the Denver metro area!
