When it comes to statistics for Denver homes for sale, it’s all in the spin.

Take this Denver Business Journal article referenced below. The Headline reads”Home Resales Drop 8.5% in February from 2010.” While that data is accuarate, buried in the acrticle is this nugget “Sales were up 3.4 percent between January and February 2011.” That’s important. Especially when you factor in the rush last year due to the first time homebuyer tax credit.

The artcile itself is decent and presents some good facts regarding Denver short sales and the first time homebuyer tax credit. In addition, it refenences the banks beggining to speed up the time table on short sales. However, a bit more analysis and some details on the inventory of Colorado foreclosures should be presented.

While the Denver maret isn’t roaring back, it is on a steady, slow, march upward.

Here is a link to the entire article from the Denver Business Journal:

Home resales drop 8.5% in February from 2010

Home resales in metro Denver were down 8.5 percent in February from a year earlier, following a similar year-over-year decline in January, according to Metrolist Inc. data released Wednesday.

 An interesting piece of news on Colorado Foreclosures. It seems that homeowners who had equity in their home when the foreclosure sale happened, may not be receiving the proceeds due them at sale.

This is one of the many dangers of just “walking away.” We’ve seen several home owners who could have attempted a short sale or loan modification simply decide it wasn’t worth it. When you walk away from a mortgage, you’re giving up on a lot more than just your house. Make sure you consult with legal and real estate experts before you give up hope.

 From the Denver Business Journal: 

Many Coloradans whose homes are sold in foreclosure auctions aren’t being told that they are owed money — sometimes thousands of dollars — from the sales.

The Denver Post’s David Migoya reports that despite a state law requiring counties to turn over any proceeds from foreclosure auctions to homeowners after debts are paid, that doesn’t happen in many cases. The Post found that homeowners in Denver, Arapahoe and Douglas counties alone were owned $653,000 since 2008.
