Sky opened up here twice in the past two weeks. Massive hail measuring as much a 4". Thousands of cars and houses damaged. That said...the real estate market still moves upward. Colorado is one of the best states when it comes to increase in value. El Paso County (mine) is considered in the top 10 nationally. Our MLS publishes stats monthly broken down into the 30 MLS sub areas. I include a one page Local Market Condition addenda in every one of the appraisal reports along with a comparative market analysis of the listings, pendings, and closed sales. We are blessed in most areas to have lots of sales and good market data. I've been through 3 major declines in my 38 years of appraising and I suspect we will see another one at some point in the future; however, I don't see it in the immediate future...at least in MY MARKET.
