Forecast for 2008 Real Estate Market Made
The Group, Inc. Real Estate held its annual real estate forecast on Monday, February 4, at the Budweiser Events Center. About 1,500 people attended to hear Chairman, Chuck McNeal, present our predictions for 2008. Here is an overview:
Forecast for 2008
Continued low interest rates, projected growth in employment, and quality of life throughout this part of the state will continue to be the drivers of real estate sales. These economic indicators, along with rising residential rents and falling vacancy historically indicate an improving market. Inventory will continue to balance throughout Northern Colorado as builders limit their supply, and foreclosures are absorbed.
While all of our challenges are not behind us, signs point to improvement. Builders, developers, buyers, sellers and investors who do their homework will find opportunity in this market. On the horizon we see pent-up demand and even inventory shortages in some price ranges and neighborhoods as the economy recovers nationally.
