Twas the night before Christmas and all through the city...  the snow kept on falling and doesn't it look pretty.

Okay, we clearly should stick to Real Estate and forget the poetry.

Denver got it's white Christmas just in the nick of time, and along with it the roads became just a little bit more of an adventure for last minute gift shoppers.  For many of our downtown clients and friends the weather just meant some thicker socks and heavier boots as they made their way downtown.

With the holidays we will take a little time out ourselves from the real estate activities that have been growing more and more active in the last part of this year.  We have seen an amazing number of offers going out and winning some incredible values in the various Lodo, Riverfront Park, Highlands, Ball Park, and other Downtown markets. Several of our clients got their presents from Santa very, very early and boy was he kind to them.  But that is the nature of the market we are in.  There are many opportunities out there including a number of short sale properties and developer inventory items that have motivated sellers hoping to wrap up this year or kick of 2010 with movement on their inventory.  How nice for all of our buyers.  Curious about what we have seen lately or interested in finding that perfect property at an attractive price, just give us a call.

And we would like to thank you for reading our blog and sharing your questions and ideas with us this year.  All of us at New Era Realty would like to wish all of you the very happiest of holidays and we look forward to working with you in the New Year.  We already see some great things happening in the start of 2010.

And one last item we wanted to share with all of our downtown condo and downtown loft clients and friends.  There aren't many places to grab some holiday cheer that will be open on the 25th but we have heard that the number one spot will be at Elway's downtown.  For those of you out there doing a google search for open on Christmas in Denver we hope this information helps.  Churchill's and the Ship's Tavern are both open in the Brown Palace as well but look to be booked up which still means you can enjoy a drink at the bar.  And last but not least the Altitude Restaurant in the Hyatt is serving as well which gives you a chance to look over at the newly constructed SPIRE building we have been speaking of.

If you are Downtown craving some place to stop in we hope these suggestions help.  You might want to call ahead just to be safe as their hours and capacity might be changing but at least it gives you a few options.  Cheers and Happy Holidays to All from New Era Realty, your Downtown Denver Condo and Loft Experts.
