Hi Folks,

I just finished reading an article in today’s Gazette. What an article of doom and gloom! The article states that Colorado Springs has lost 4,100 jobs and 174 million dollars in revenue. Unfortunately, I believe it.

This is what is directly affecting the home sales market in Colorado Springs. Intel has done a large layoff and we are missing 18,000 troops who support the local business. Adding to the fact the economy is tight, is that most employers are not giving wage increases.

So what can we do? Support your local companies. Yes, they may be a little more expensive, but you’re supporting someone that will support you. Think positive. Know that the economy is correcting, not tanking. Know that when you buy a home, it’s a long term investment. If you look at what homes sold for 10 years ago, it is very obvious real estate is a good investment.

Please call us at 888-593-2963 or visit my website at www.maecker.com for a private consultation. We’ve sold 100 homes so far this year and we are looking for more to sell.

Thanks,
Brian
