#Denver 1st City where housing prices exceed pre-recession levels

Metro Denver has become the first major city in the mountain West — and one of only four nationwide — "to fully close the book on the housing crisis"
"At the end of 2014, house prices in Denver reached levels last seen before the Great Recession," it says. "All of its regional [city] peers except Colorado Springs beat the national average in terms of house price growth over the quarter, reinforcing the region’s leadership in the national housing recovery."

Why Are So Many Trees Dying in Colorado?

Image
On a recent trip on I-70 to evaluate some land for a client, I was confronted with sad but beautiful image of red forests stretching for miles across the hills. The image of a red "evergreen" contrasting against the green scenery is mesmerizing at first until you take a closer look at red death destroying millions of trees in Colorado. Beetle epidemics across the western United States are becoming more obvious every season with entire landscapes turning red and brown as trees die. In northwest Colorado the beetle epidemics, triggered by extended drought in aging forests, are intensifying at an alarming rate, and there is little that can be done to stop them. Actions can be taken to protect high value areas such as ski areas, developed campgrounds and trees in people’s yards. Hastening Death: Pine beetles carry a fungus on their body and legs.

Now's the Time to buy that new clothes washer or watersense toilet

Denver Water to Reduce rebates on March 16 Beginning March 16, 2011, Denver Water will change its residential rebates for high-efficiency toilets and clothes washers. The utility will reduce the amount offered for toilet and clothes washer rebates by $50 each. The new rebate amounts will be $75 for qualifying toilets and $100 for qualifying clothes washers. "It was time for a change because the cost of these high-efficiency products has come down in recent years," said Melissa Elliott, manager of conservation. "As a result, Denver Water's rebates will cover a similar percentage of new product purchases. We want to give our customers a heads-up so they can make those purchases before March 16, 2011, if they want the current rebate amount." Customers should check details before making purchases. Not all toilets or clothes washers qualify for a rebate, but all " WaterSense " labeled toilets are covered. Visit  www.denverwater.org ...
