That\\\'s interesting, Dave. Even though it\\\'s a different world writing a blog than reporting for a newspaper, for the most part I try to be like Switzerland - neutral. I always welcome a variety of points of views, of course. I wonder what other readers think. John

InsideRealEstateNews.com : Forbesgate continues with removal of Denver articles

Kris, That\\\'s interesting. Maybe some techie can explain why the second half of the second story can be found online. Of course, even I know once something has appeared on the Internet, it never truly disappears. I went on Forbes.com and it is clear that they have officially removed the links to both articles. John.

NAR didn\\\'t include Detroit in this analysis, Dave. It released data on the MSA\\\'s in which it was most comfortable that the information it had was very good. john

InsideRealEstateNews.com : Realtors: Forbes unfair to Denver

Thu, 15 Apr 2010 13:48:06 +0000

How right you are, Llinda.
I tried to contact the reporter, but she doesn't seem to be listed in their directory, to ask those very questions. I also sent them an e-mail, which they have not responded to.

Sat, 10 Apr 2010 17:19:34 +0000

I think it's a pretty safe bet that April will be a strong month, and there probably will be a lot of closing through June. It will be fascinating to see what happens afterward.

InsideRealEstateNews.com : Saving Grace, but not her home

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:52:29 +0000

Steve, I\\\'m guessing it is going to sell for more than the asking price. The home is an easy walk to Patsy\\\'s Restaurant and the Bugs Theatre, to name just two nearby local landmarks. It is at the edge of the trendy Highland neighborhood. I plan to watch what happens to the house. The city, for tax purposes, assesses its value at $121,200. John

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 00:59:30 +0000

If you mean the same in every area of the country, I would say no. We didn't ask him that exact question, but he said even Colorado has many different geographic areas with their own strength, weaknesses and challenges.

InsideRealEstateNews.com : Except for luxury homes, Denver's housing market is robust

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:23:22 +0000

I'm not taking a position. I try to report the news as objectively as possible. I welcome input from all points of views. I think you raise valid issues. And I do think there is a shadow market The question is how big is it, what will the impact be, and when will we see the repercussions. My observation covering business for more than 25 years at the Rocky Mountain News is that a strong economy ultimately is what is needed to right a bad market. It is amazing how the slate of bad decisions made by consumers, lenders and businesses can be wiped clean if there are more jobs and more demand for housing. Thanks for writing. I appreciate your thoughtful comments and suggestions. John
