Our housing growth has been amazing. I took a drive yesterday out to an area that used to be just farm houses and wheat fields 25 miles out of town. I was surprised to find 3 square sections of farm land turned into housing editions. There's no town or infrastructure out there just wheat fields. It's like that all over the place around here. Most of them are houses in the 3,000 sq ft range or bigger. We can't figure out where all the money or people are coming from but it sure does help my WiGLE stats. None of them are on any mapping software or Google Earth. I just have to drive the section lines and keep good notes for return visits. I never know where I'll run into an area like that.
That's what Denver looked like. The 757 pilot friend of mine has been near Denver for 15 years, and said that most of the outlying area was flowers and grasslands up to 5 years ago. BIG houses, $1 to $1.5 M. Area real estate person indicated that most folks were getting 'interest only' mortgages to be able to afford them. (How STUPID can you get?)
