We actually will be meeting in the Apache/Shoshoni Room at the conference center in a building that is located near the corner of Kline Dr. and Industrial Cir. Although the building doesn't actually have an address, when I use 1890 Industrial Circle in Google it shows it pretty close on the map.

"Denver Metro Real Estate Market Trends", with Charles Roberts, Your Castle Real Estate

This talk will provide an analytical overview of the major real estate trends in our Denver Metro residential market, specifically honing in on the Denver sub-market. Property records and data are reviewed at many different levels (neighborhood, zip code, town, region, etc.) in order to gain a deep understanding of the local real estate conditions. In addition, we compare historical data with current economic data to try to predict what lies ahead. You will leave this session with a solid understanding of the residential and income housing market in and around Denver and which areas have had the best and worst appreciation.
