Denver was the top searched city in the nation for October:
According to data from Yahoo.com, "Denver Real Estate" was the second most commonly searched real estate term in the month of October, 2005 (second only to "Florida real estate"). When you factor in that "Florida real estate" covers the entire state, and "Denver real estate" indicates people are looking specifically for real estate in the city of Denver, that's a pretty impressive statistic.
Although Denver Property values have been somewhat stagnant for the past several months (and some areas have slightly declined) this statistic appears to be a strong indicator that the Denver market is still a highly sought after market. The fact that Colorado real estate was also a top 10 searched term for last month scores another one for Colorado in general.
Promising features of Denver:
Several surrounding Colorado cities and amenities add to the popularity of Denver as a place to live. Denver is less than an hour from skiing, and within 2 hours of a dozen excellent resorts. Travelers love that Denver is only about a half-hour from the airport, and the fact that there are 4 major sports teams (Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets, Denver Broncos, and Colorado Rockies) doesn't hurt either. In addition, there are several extremely competitive colleges and universities (Colorado State, Colorado University, Denver University, and Colorado College to name a few.) If sports isn't your thing, Denver also has an excellent arts program, several fantastic museums, any type of dining you desire, and a solid real estate market.
About Denver Colorado real estate:
When moving to the Denver area from out of town, many people envision moving to Colorado and buying a cabin in the mountains, and are surprised to find that they can't get that in the city limits of Denver (or in any immediately adjacent cities either.) However, several mountainous towns (such as Evergreen, Golden, Conifer, Bailey, and Coal Creek Canyon) are close enough to get the best of both worlds -- mountain living, and the conveniences of a big city.
