Denver real estate professionals are working to bounce back from setbacks in the first quarter. The number of new and previously owned homes sold in the Denver area fell by 10.6 percent in the first quarter, compared with 2006 figures. Additionally, the median price of all homes dropped 1.3 percent to $235,000 from $238,000 in the first quarter of 2006. And no one’s quite sure what’s going to happen in the upcoming months.

 

But despite daunting numbers in much of the Denver area, there’s one part that was left virtually unscathed in the downturn. Broomfield, located less than 20 miles from downtown Denver, experienced awe-inspiring increases in median sales prices and home sales.
