On average, more people are employed now than at this time last year, and they are making more money. As a whole, the jobs picture in Colorado seems promising. This is great news for the real estate industry because employment drives home-buying activity--that's one of the reasons DMAR, CAR and NAR watch labor statistics as a key indicator for the residential real estate market. Coupled with the mostly positive jobs picture, it is widely expected that mortgage rates will remain as they are for at least the first two quarters of the year.
