			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Dear Readers</h1>
<p>  </p>
<p>Durango Real Estate is looking up again, as both the 1st quarter home sales statistics for 2010 and current sale pending numbers show.  </p>
<p>First, here is an excpert of the press release of the Durango Area Association of Real Estate on the 1st quarter real estate sales statistics (<a target="_blank" href="http://durangorealtor.com/images/Statistics/2010/DAAR2010PressRelease1stQtr.pdf" >click here for the full article and statistics</a>)  </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The first quarter is being compared to the same quarter over the last 3 years. For the </span> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">second consecutive quarter, the La Plata County residential market has improved with a  </p>
<p>higher number of transactions and an improved median price. Total residential  </p>
<p>transactions in the County for the 1st Quarter of 2010 were 131 compared to 79 last year,  </p>
<p>a 66% increase. The median price increased from $275,600 to $306,100&#8230;.. <a target="_blank" href="http://durangorealtor.com/images/Statistics/2010/DAAR2010PressRelease1stQtr.pdf" >click here for more </a>  </p>
<h1>Now for the weekly update blog </h1>
<p>In the last 10 days (April 10th through 20th) there were 19 sales in Durango and Area ranging in price from under $100,000 for a mobile home with no land to $670,000 for an Edgemont Ranch Custom Home. <a target="_blank" href="http://CREN.fnismls.com/publink/default.aspx?GUID=3a648960-1f2a-47fd-9580-813ef7624d06&amp;Report=Yes" >Here a link to recent sales</a>.   </p>
<p>There are 23 homes that went under contract (sale pending) in the past 10 days, ranging in price form  $100,000 to over $4 Million . <a target="_blank" href="http://CREN.fnismls.com/publink/default.aspx?GUID=a88cf6c4-9e78-418c-a89d-cae5a6b0cf61&amp;Report=Yes" >Click here for homes recently under contract</a>. Thats a good indication that sales are increasing.   </p>
<p>During the last 10 days we have seen over 100 new listings. Spring is traditionally the time where most Durango homeowner put their homes on the market. I think this is a good sign and a fun time to be looking for a new house and a good deal! <a target="_blank" href="http://CREN.fnismls.com/publink/default.aspx?GUID=151f7c15-06db-4f69-b310-b5a1ef9f809f&amp;Report=Yes" >Here is a link to all recent new listings </a>(minus land listings)   </p>
<p>We have two great new listings at Blue Ribbon, a relocation listing at almost $100,000 less than the recent purchase as well as a bnicely remodelled intown duplex which rental potential (live in one side and rent out the other?). <a target="_blank" href="http://CREN.fnismls.com/publink/default.aspx?GUID=3bdde4bb-4c21-440c-92cf-568866f0ba05&amp;Report=Yes" >Click here for more details</a>.     </p>

<p>Can&#8217;t sell your property? How about trying an auction? We&#8217;ve had great success with online autions, where the seller can both have the house listed with a Realtor on the MLS and market an auction date to generate traffice and get the property sold (with a minimum reserve price). The hype of auctions offers a wonderful marketing hook to differentiate you listing. For buyers it&#8217;s an excellent way to get the best deals.<br />
