Market Update Louisville Colorado April 2010
Louisville real estate market activity has improved in the last month or so.
Single family homes have sold much more quickly, and about twice as many sold in April as in March.
We went over to Louisville’s Community Park last weekend with the kids and a couple of their friends, and I was amazed at how popular and well-used the park is on the weekends.
There was an ad hoc softball game, a men’s soccer game, a birthday party in the pavilion, an old guy playing horse shoes, bocce ball, kites flying, and lots of kids all over the playground.
We walked up into downtown (about 3 blocks) to get italian ices and gelato, which was a nice treat on a warm spring day, and then back to the park for a couple more hours. No wonder Louisville is so coveted and homes sell there so quickly for top dollar.

Louisville Colorado Market Update March 2010
Louisville real estate is doing really well.
The latest data shows prices trending upwards, don’t keep waiting for the ‘bottom’ of the market. If you do, you’ll probably been one of those that misses the upswing and pays too much. While it may take a while, as I think we’re on a steady trend upwards, this market isn’t going to tank any time soon. Look at the chart I’ve provided a link to at the end of this post. It shows that the median price of sold homes in Louisville has increased 30% over the last two years.
Also remember that the home buyer tax credit is not just for new home buyers.
If you’re moving, and have lived in your current home at least five of the last eight years, you may also qualify for a tax credit up to $6,500. The deadline to be under contract to purchase is April 30th 2010, and you have to close the sale by June 30th 2010.

Conoco Phillips Comes To Louisville
It’s now official, Conoco Phillips will begin constructing its global training and new energy research and development facility at the former StorageTek / Sun Microsystems campus in Louisville Colorado. This is big news for Superior, Louisville, and Broomfied for sure!
ConocoPhillips has submitted plans to Louisville Colorado city officials, and the expectation is that ConocoPhillips will open the first phase of the project — as much as 1.6 million square feet of the new facility — by 2013.
Think this isn’t a big deal yet? I hope you follow the positive impact we’ve been talking about on the local economy. In it’s hay-day, Storage Tek employed about 4000 workers. When the third and final phase of the ConocoPhillips facility is fully up and running, ConocoPhillips’ own reports say they expect to employ approximately double that number of people.
What about all the ancillary jobs due to construction, associated businesses’ growth, and the big topic that hits most of us: housing prices?
