Some good news for Grand Junction'ites to start the year off... home sales (closings) climbed 20% just since November of '09! Even though this does not mean home prices are increasing, it is just nice bit of information... our inventory WILL SELL. Most likely, the three forces driving this climb in home sales are 1) great interest rates 2) affordable prices, and 3) the federal tax credit offered to first time home buyers! But hurry, interest rates are on the climb, starting with the 1/2 percent increase that already took place since Jan 1st!
Another piece of positive information (I'm glad I could make your day!) is that two of our major oil & gas companies here have announced they will be expanding their employee base within the next month. While it may take some time for the majority of the members of our community to "rise from the ashes", we are conditioning for a healthy recovery.
Please call me to discuss any real estate decisions you are facing. As your trusted Real Estate Professional, your situation is always confidential. In 2009, I expanded my education. In addition to helping qualified buyers and sellers, I am a pre-foreclosure and short-sale specialist. Many home owners do not understand that it is not necassary or wise to just "walk away" from your home if you cannot afford the payments. There ARE options. As long as you don't wait until it is too late. I look forward to hearing from you SOON. Alyssa Roberts 970-683-2591
