Denver Post predictions for RE in 2014

Denver Post's article yesterday cited several "local experts" all pointing to another strong, but more balanced real estate market in 2014.  The entire article can be found here:



An interesting note at the end of the article, pointed to 5 strong neighborhood attracting buyers - they are:

  1. City Park
  2. Skyland Neighborhood
  3. Wadsworth corridor south of I-70
  4. Kipling Street nort of US6
  5. Applewood Valley

 Why?  What do these homes have in common?

  • they have an older housing stock that needs updating
  • they have direct routes into downtown or are close to the mountains
  • they are all neighborhoods with character

As an investor and real estate broker, I agree ... these are all great neighborhoods!
