I get website MLS summary sheets every month. I thought I would start sharing these with you. This hot sheet shows the top ten properties on my website in December of 2009. I was super busy with clients all month which surprises people because they think this town sleeps all winter, which it certainly does no such thing. Estes Park is a year round destination for many people. I had clients visiting family, snow shoeing, skiing at Eldora, going to the casinos in Black Hawk/Central City, shopping, playing in the snow and finally buying houses. I think January will be busy too with buyers wanting to take advantage of the home buyer credits that expire in April and with our Winter Festival in two weeks. The chili cook-off is going to be awesome so please visit us soon. Check out what Estes Park buyers are looking for here.

If you are planning on buying real estate in the next two years I implore you to consider the advantages of buying today. Home ownership is an investment in your future. With each mortgage payment you are building your wealth. Owning a home builds wealth over the long term, and it provides significant social benefits. Did you know home owners are are happier and healthier than non-owners? And what about the tax benefits of home ownership? In short, you can deduct interest charged on a loan used to acquire or improve your principal residence in the year that it is paid. Check with your tax preparer and account for all the benefits of home ownership.
