Cheyenne's population increases

According the the Wyoming Tribune Eagle's article this morning, the Cheyenne population has increased about 12% over the last decade.  Cheyenne's current population is at 59,466.  Population is expected to continue to grow in the Cheyenne area as a result of the (Niobrara) oil play and the Swan Ranch Rail Park.  I understand that the first 500 acres of the Swan Ranch Rail Park is expected to be committed to by the middle of this year.  A stable economy and stable house prices make Cheyenne a great place to live.

Cool new Home search tool

Finally the Iphone is available in the Cheyenne area.  ATT does not provide service to our area and therefore no matter how much we wanted to get the Iphone it was just not available.  Now that Verizon carries the Iphone I was able to get my hands on one. One of the first in town to get it.  Love it!!!  Goes really well with my Ipad and I can even use the Iphone as a hotspot for my Ipad. The 3G is very fast compared to my old Blackberry. 

Now for the cool real estate tool.  It is called myAgent by IDX.   Load this app on your Iphone and enter the number 8656 as the agent code and you will be able to see on a map most, if not all, of the homes available for sale in the Cheyenne area.  (Listed with a REALTOR).   You can zoom in on an area, select a home, get information on a home, get photos of the home and see other homes in the immediate area.  Works on your Ipad as well.

Happy New Year

2010! Unbelievable how quick 2010 got here. Do you remember the year 2000 when we thought computers would stop working, how would they handle anything but the year starting with 1900. Well, everything was just fine and so will 2010 especially in real estate. Interest rates continue to stay low (around 5%), lenders are lending money and there is a nice inventory of homes to choose from.

Living in Cheyenne the past 30 years I have seen Cheyenne grow from small city (small compared to where I came from Rochester NY) to a still developing larger city. Cheyenne is now the home to Lowe's Distribution Center, Walmart Distribution Center, Nortrak, Sierra Trading Post and Library Journal and Gale Cengage’s 2008 Library of the Year to name just a few. We are also the future home, according to Cheyenne Leads, of The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) working in conjunction with the University of Wyoming, uranium mining company, Cameco Corp and a coal gasification company.

I have seen Dell Range Blvd go from a 2 lane road to a 4 lane road and become the busiest road in Wyoming. All I can remember on Dell Range was the firehouse and a back road to get from the east side of Cheyenne to Yellowstone Rd. With all this growth I believe comes a better quality of life. Many of the reasons Cheyenne residents traveled to Colorado are now here in Cheyenne.

Cheyenne, what a great place to live!

First-time homebuyer tax credit about to expire

This tax credit is available to anyone who has not owned a home in the last 3 years and must be closed by November 30, 2009.

With escrow periods typically in the 30-45 day range it is very important to find your home now in order to take advantage of the tax credit.
