Will the election of the 44th President change our housing market?

While I think that the President elect Barack Obama will make changes to aid our economy, I don't think that he will have a huge impact on the housing market. Over time I believe some of the economic changes he makes will impact our market in a positive way, but just because we have chosen our next president will not make people go out and decide to buy a house. I think people still buy and sell for the same reasons. They need to move for work, their family is growing or they are empty nesters, some simply move just for a change. The golden rule to real estate is that over time it is one of the best investments that you can make. Over time your home will appreciate. Over time our market will recover, there is no overnight fix. If you are thinking about buying right now rates are still historically low and you will get an awesome deal on a house, and yes over time you will gain equity, just not over night like in the past. If you are an investor now is a great time to invest and over time your investments will pay off. Real estate has always been one of the best investments you can make and even in troubled times is still the best investment you can make for yourself and your family's future.

The market in Jefferson County Colorado is showing signs of improvement and I believe it will continue to. We definitely are better off than other parts of the nation. Something we should all be thankful for.
