Home prices in Denver recorded a year-over-year decline in February for the eighth consecutive month, according to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Prices Index, released Tuesday.
The average home price fell by 2.6 percent in Denver from February 2010, while the 20-city composite index declined by 3.3 percent during the same period. Only Washington, D.C., posted a year-over-year gain, with a 2.7 percent increase.
In Denver, average prices declined 1.2 percent between January and February, on the heels of a 1.1 percent drop from December to January.
Detroit was the only city with a month-over-month increase, at 1 percent.
The report assigns index values to the 20 cities based on current average home prices in relation to what they were in January 2000.
Denver’s index for February was 121.26, meaning that prices were 21.26 percent higher than they were in January 2000. The 20-city average index was 139.27 for February.
Each month from October 2009 through June 2010, the Case-Shiller report showed year-over-year increases in Denver-area home prices. That ended last July. Before October 2009, Denver saw 36 straight months of year-over-year price declines, peaking at a 5.7 percent drop in February 2009 from the year before.

Since 2004, the maximum VA loan is the same as the maximum FNMA mortgage which is currently $417,000. Occasionally, a Veteran wants a loan in excess of that amount. If the Veteran will put a 25% down payment on the excess amount, a lender will loan the other 75%.
 |
Example
| Sales Price | $475,000 |
| Maximum VA Loan | $417,000 |
| Excess Amount | $58,000 |
| 25% Required Down Payment on Excess | $14,500 |
| Adjusted Loan | $460,500 |
VA loans are eligible for veterans of the military with a certificate of eligibility. A Veteran can get a 100% loan up to the maximum VA loan amount and the seller can pay their closing costs which would allow a Vet to get into a home with no down payment and no closing costs. The VA Funding Fee can be rolled into the mortgage or paid by the Seller.
When the Vet sells the home, their VA loan is assumable at the existing interest rates but does require qualification of the new buyer. The benefits would be a possible lower interest rate and lower closing costs.
