colorado real estate: Seriously, didn't they realize there's sun here? - 05/26/07 12:13 PM
We love our house, don't get me wrong, but what was the builder thinking when he put a cedar shake roof on it? I get it: they have a certain "look" that some folks like...kind of rustic. But if you've spent any time in this part of Colorado you know that there are weeks on end in the summertime when it feels like you're standing ten feet from the sun.
The altitude, thin air, and clear skies don't exactly make for the best bedfellows with a cedar shake roof. A normal composition material roof should last a good 20 years or … (9 comments)

colorado real estate: Boulder Love Letter - 05/23/07 09:21 AM
Every once in a while I have to pinch myself to make sure this place isn't just some pretty dream. Ok, I'm sure each and every one of you just love your respective hometowns, but with all due respect I just can't imagine living anywhere else.
Boulder has it all, and this is the time of year where my family and I are constantly rediscovering whey we live here.
Things I love about Boulder in the summertime:
Farmer's Market (must be getting old if that's #1 on my list)The hiking. Chautauqua is beautiful this time of year...and I'm going to torture all of you … (7 comments)

colorado real estate: Where's that sneaky radon hiding? - 05/16/07 10:36 PM
It's a mystery, isn't it? You help one person buy a home in the Denver area and their inspection turns up next to nothing in regards to radon. You write a contract just down the road for another Denver buyer and the inspection results come back at 22 pCi/L.
What the heck does that mean?
It depends on where you are living. If you're in the United States then radon levels at or above 4.0 pCi/L then it's considered time to take action. But take a look at this chart from the Jefferson County , Colorado website:
What is a person to make … (5 comments)

colorado real estate: Boulder's coolest new condo development - 05/08/07 09:34 AM
Athletes come to Boulder for the rock climbing, hiking, running, kayaking...and THE BIKING! Which is why it is no surprise that Boulder's latest real estate offering is called The Peloton.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this phrase I'll give you a visual hint:
A peloton is that main group of riders in a bike race.
Great, now that you know that what does this particular Peloton have to offer Boulder residents?
Well, they've got prices starting in the 300's for centrally located new condos in the heart of Boulder. Almost every unit has a mountain view, there is secure underground parking, … (1 comments)

colorado real estate: Denver foreclosures and the first-time buyer: mismatched from the start - 05/06/07 03:14 PM
Everyone knows that Denver has lots of foreclosures. The problem is that there are lots of first-timers who think they should give it a whirl. I've currently got a few contracts pending with banks and all of them are with investors, or seasoned buyers.
Aside from the usual things to watch out for with foreclosures:
"AS IS": that's right, forget about getting out on inspection issues, you are going in unprotectedRedemption: one must remember that homeowners have over two months to get back into the home if they can come up w/the cash.Property Disclosure: you probably will not get a peak at a … (3 comments)

colorado real estate: Boulder real estate and Zillow's Zestimate: the dance continues - 04/12/07 04:34 PM
The controversy continues with Zillow's Zestimate's vs. local agent's pricing accuracy. I've read lots of interesting stuff on this site as well as Sellsius and others in regards to Zillow's ultimate plans. Are they going to become a national MLS? Should we Realtors be using their tools to enter other homes for sale? How will the Zillow model impact the real estate industry in general?
I don't know. I have no idea what Zillow's ultimate plans are. Don't know if other Realtors should be entering listings of their peers. I do know that this industry is crying out for change. I do … (2 comments)

colorado real estate: Visit Boulder, Colorado: Come for the granola, stay for the spa - 04/07/07 10:33 AM
Yes, yes, I know there are a lot of people who have this image of Boulder as a hippie-haven and health-crazed mountain town. And in many ways that characterization is correct: Boulder was voted the best place to be an uberjock, and Runner's World voted it #7 on the top 25 Best Running Cities in America.
And we've also got our share of "granola-ie" food offerings. Boulder is where Silk Soy Milk got its start, and there are plenty of health-conscious activities like the famous Boulder Farmer's Market to choose from on any given weekend.
But a person could also lose themselves in … (4 comments)

colorado real estate: Boulder real estate prices and Zillow: Nothing more than a parlour game - 04/03/07 11:22 AM
Alan Dalton recently suggested http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DNtYtM_gX0 that Zillow’s Zestimate’s are really nothing more than a modern day parlour game. Fair enough. There are many of us who agree whole heartedly with Mr. Dalton. Some of you out there may disagree. My default, like many of you, is to make a gut call on a lot of controversial issues. Zillow’s Zestimates seem a little too good to be true to me–my gut said they were bogus. But as someone who spent many years teaching and studying the Scientific Method (pre-med in college, former Biology and Genetics teacher) I decided that the only way … (10 comments)

colorado real estate: Boulder real estate company explains: What we're all about - 03/31/07 04:30 AM
Let’s keep it simple. That’s the guiding thought behind what we’re doing over at Real-a-Save. Buying a house is a pretty straight forward process: you start looking for a house, narrow down your search, take a look inside, make an offer on your favorite, navigate some hurdles, close the deal, move in. And with more and more people choosing to do the search portion of this process on their own via the internet, and then bringing the agent in to write the offer only after they’ve narrowed down their list, well, it makes our business that much more sensible. Why shouldn’t … (0 comments)

colorado real estate: Boulder Real Estate - 03/31/07 04:23 AM
You can’t believe everything you read. If you were to judge the Boulder real estate market by what is being written and said about the Colorado market in general, then you’d be terrified. Foreclosure, unscrupulous lenders, plummeting house prices, and every other plague imaginable has infested the Colorado real estate market, and by association, the Boulder real estate market as well. So stay away. You’d be nuts to buy. If you believe that then you’re probably one of the people who are constantly losing money in the stock market. Momentum buyers tend to listen to the prevailing news and purchase homes, … (0 comments)
