Colorado real estate: does it rock? We know that Colorado is known for Rocky Mountains. But does the Colorado real estate rock as well? Outside of foreclosure , the normal Colorado real estate market doesn’t rock that much, as per the statistics (and when we compare Colorado real estate to others like Florida real estate or California real estate). However, there are people with contrarian views as well. And believe me, contrarian views do sometimes get huge profits for you, because in such circumstances you will generally face lesser competition from other real estate investors and you can probably get a Colorado real estate piece for much lesser than it actually is worth. However, we are not saying that Colorado real estate has performed badly. Though I donít remember the exact statistics but Colorado real estate appreciation was about 57% only which is much lower to 25% or so for Florida real estate. Again, when we say 57% appreciation in Colorado real estate, we are talking about the state in general. So, itís quite possible that there be regions in the state where the real estate appreciation is say 25% and there could be places where there has been no appreciation in real estate. The opportunity is always there, the only thing you need is the art of finding the Golden deal in this Colorado real estate market. When assessing Colorado real estate you must take into consideration various factors e.g. you must assess the overall economic indicators and check what effect it can have on Colorado real estate (both in the near term and in the longer term). You donít need to be a financial analyst or a real estate guru for doing this assessment, you just need to keep track of various news items and analysis reports on Colorado real estate. Also keep track of the mortgage rates and laws on tax breaks (as applicable to Colorado real estate). All these factors influence the trend of real estate anywhere (not in just Colorado). Moreover, you will need to hunt for Colorado real estate opportunities by going to public auctions, foreclosures, teaming up with attorneys for information etc. Again, remember that a notsogood news about any real estate (be it Colorado real estate or Florida real estate), doesnít mean that real estate investment wonít make sense at that place; in fact, it might cut down the number of competitors you have. So, if you feel that Colorado real estate doesnít rock; you can probably make it rock for you. There always are plenty of opportunities.

Colorado  real  estate:  does  it  rock?  

We  know  that  Colorado  is  known  for  Rocky  Mountains.  But  does  the  Colorado  real  estate  rock  as  well?  Outside  of  foreclosure,  the  normal  Colorado  real  estate  market  doesn’t  rock  that  much,  as  per  the  statistics  (and  when  we  compare  Colorado  real  estate  to  others  like  Florida  real  estate  or  California  real  estate).  However,  there  are  people  with  contrarian  views  as  well.  And  believe  me,  contrarian  views  do  sometimes  get  huge  profits  for  you,  because  in  such  circumstances  you  will  generally  face  lesser  competition  from  other  real  estate  investors  and  you  can  probably  get  a  Colorado  real  estate  piece  for  much  lesser  than  it  actually  is  worth.  However,  we  are  not  saying  that  Colorado  real  estate  has  performed  badly.  Though  I  donít  remember  the  exact  statistics  but  Colorado  real  estate  appreciation  was  about  5-­‐7%  only  which  is  much  lower  to  25%  or  so  for  Florida  real  estate.  Again,  when  we  say  5-­‐7%  appreciation  in  Colorado  real  estate,  we  are  talking  about  the  state  in  general.  So,  itís  quite  possible  that  there  be  regions  in  the  state  where  the  real  estate  appreciation  is  say  25%  and  there  could  be  places  where  there  has  been  no  appreciation  in  real  estate.  The  opportunity  is  always  there,  the  only  thing  you  need  is  the  art  of  finding  the  Golden  deal  in  this  Colorado  real  estate  market.      

When  assessing  Colorado  real  estate  you  must  take  into  consideration  various  factors  e.g.  you  must  assess  the  overall  economic  indicators  and  check  what  effect  it  can  have  on  Colorado  real  estate  (both  in  the  near  term  and  in  the  longer  term).  You  donít  need  to  be  a  financial  analyst  or  a  real  estate  guru  for  doing  this  assessment,  you  just  need  to  keep  track  of  various  news  items  and  analysis  reports  on  Colorado  real  estate.  Also  keep  track  of  the  mortgage  rates  and  laws  on  tax  breaks  (as  applicable  to  Colorado  real  estate).  All  these  factors  influence  the  trend  of  real  estate  anywhere  (not  in  just  Colorado).  Moreover,  you  will  need  to  hunt  for  Colorado  real  estate  opportunities  by  going  to  public  auctions,  foreclosures,  teaming  up  with  attorneys  for  information  etc.  Again,  remember  that  a  not-­‐so-­‐good  news  about  any  real  estate  (be  it  Colorado  real  estate  or  Florida  real  estate),  doesnít  mean  that  real  estate  investment  wonít  make  sense  at  that  place;  in  fact,  it  might  cut  down  the  number  of  competitors  you  have.  

So,  if  you  feel  that  Colorado  real  estate  doesnít  rock;  you  can  probably  make  it  rock  for  you.  There  always  are  plenty  of  opportunities.
