Arvada's real estate market is not the same as Denver or Boulder, but is very similar to Westminster, Broomfield, Lakewood, and Golden.

To All My Friends & Neighbors –

Greetings!

 

         Did you get out to Arvada’s Kite Festival or the Colorado Tartan Festival?  Both very fun events that are held on the same day. I made it to both last year but only the kite festival this year.  It has become a huge event. My family walked from our house because parking was so bad last year.  This year they had shuttles, but I was glad we walked.

         Arvada’s kite festival is such a success, I’m betting it won’t be much longer before other communities start copying it!

 

         It’s turning into an interesting real estate year already.  Lots of what we’ve come to think of as ‘the way it

According to S&P Case-Shiller Home Prices Index Denver Metro homes prices increased in January 2012 compared to January 2011.  This is the first time in the last 19 months the Denver Metro real estate market has seen prices increased from the previous year.  While the increase was small, only 0.2%, it’s another sign over a changing real estate market in the Denver Metro area. 

Previously, we talked about all the signs pointing to a rapidly changing real estate market in the Denver Metro area, except an increase in prices.  Inventory levels, days-on-market, and homes under contract all pointed to an improving real estate market for months.  We should see Denver Metro home prices continue to rise in 2012 given the pent up demand for homes in the

The Kite Festival is one of my favorite Arvada events.  Arvada hosts so many fun events, it's hard to choose - but this one is just so full of eye candy, and laid back and family-friendly. Not to mention so close to my home, I can walk there!

Arvada's 2012 Kite Festival is set for Saturday, April 14 starting at 10 am, and the rain date is April 21.  It's a very popular event, and cars line the neighborhood streets quite a ways in both directions on both streets that border the park.  So it's nice to see that this year, they will be offering shuttle service from the free parking lots at Warder Elementary School, 7840 Carr Drive, and George Meyers Pool to Robby Ferrufino Park.
