Grand Junction Colorado Market Report, Mesa County The NUMBER of home sales were slowly on the rise for the last quarter in Colorado due mostly to buyers taking advantage of lower home prices and mortgage rates. Home PRICES continue to be LOWER due to joblessness and slow business overall. As lenders complete processing on more of the foreclosures that are pending, more properties will appear on the market for sale at lower prices, this will not be helpful to home owners trying to get top dollar in today's market, as there will be many comparable homes on the market at reduced prices. After mortgage companies formally foreclose on the homes, and the larger inventory of homes at reduced prices hit our market, prices are expected to DECLINE an additional 5.1% in 2012. Savvy home buyers h... 01/29/2012

Black Friday in Grand Junction Colorado I love a bargain like everyone else but I wait for the prices to come down before I shop.  I saw a great deal at Best Buy for a TV for $199.00. The sale was to start at midnight. I was going to friends for Thanksgiving so the chances of leaving their house close to midnight were good. I thought I can do that!. I took a drive to our Best Buy at around 5 to see what was happening. There were at least 100 people at 5 waiting for the store to open. I decided that saving a little money was not worth the hasstle. An article in this morning’s paper stated that a mathematician determined that the best bargains were in the early part of December or after Christmas. I can wait at home where it is warm.   Those people are nuts who wait out in the cold. They ... 11/25/2011
