Values are up by 6.5% in Denver, according to RadarLogic’s January 2010 RPX Monthly Housing

But you’re thinking:  ”Has my home gone up in value by 6.5%?”

The short answer:  Location, location, location.

Longer answer:  We’ve seen prices decline and stabilize in most areas.

The areas where increases are happening are most likely those where there have been a lot of foreclosures in the past two years – and those areas are coming out of the bottom of the market.

Those areas are most likely to be in:  Aurora, Castle Rock and Northern suburbs like Thornton, Northglenn, etc.

Also, the tax credits for both first-time home buyers AND existing home owners are nearing their end.  It’s pushing-up sales prices right now.  Those tax credits end on April 30th.
