Welcome to the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010. This is time for reflection and time for projection. The economy was bad, or was it? Here is what we know, the amount of houses sold was down in 2009 and so were the prices. The amount of homes sold in the metro Denver area is down 12.1% and the prices are down 2%. That means that if you averaged one house sold per month in 2008 you should be down to 10.5 homes sold in 2009. So here is the next part. There were about 10% fewer real estate agents in Colorado in 2009 from 2008 according to Erin Toll of the Real Estate Commission. That should mean that real estate agents had about the same amount of sales per agent in 2009 as in 2008.
What we hear is that nothing is selling and that just isn’t true. successful agents tell us the are very busy. Where do you fit into the economy? Can you turn 2010 around or is your strategy to “hope”. Best wishes for a dynamite 2010.
