denver real estate: New Construction - 04/10/08 02:25 PM
Funny how everyone thinks that the Denver real estate market is in the tank. I've had several clients relocate to the area recently, and their impression of pricing is that the 20% discount is a possibility given the meteoric rise in real estate prices over the last several years. This kind

denver real estate: FHA vs Sub-prime - 03/19/08 03:09 PM
We're seeing many more Denver real estate shoppers using FHA programs as opposed to the ridiculous sub-prime deals. It's also the VERY rare deal that sees 100% financing or the dreaded "Stated Income" programs that were so popular over the last 5 years. I won't miss these programs at all. The stated

The problem with most real estate search engines is that you have to search by zip codes, cities, or VERY LARGE areas. Sometimes you may have a very specific area that you'd like to search. Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to limit your Denver real estate search to an

denver real estate: Short Sale Madness - 03/12/08 04:08 PM
Note to all short sale agents: honesty is the best policy. The Denver real estate market continues to be a hotspot for short sales. The main problem here is that there is sometimes a complete lack of communication between lenders and listing agents. Even to the point where listing agents DO

denver real estate: Arvada Loyalty - 01/22/08 06:40 AM
So many of my clients discover Arvada only after focusing on other popular neighborhoods and towns. It's funny, but a handful of clients over the last year discovered Arvada almost entirely by accident while searching the Denver real estate market. The same thing tends to happen to new residents of this lovely

The Denver real estate market continues to stay relatively flat, with increasing inventory and stagnant or dropping prices. But just like every market in the country, our little corner of the world has pockets of strength. Places like Louisville seem to be weathering our current housing storm pretty well.

So many neighborhoods are overrated that it's hard to keep track of what the current "best neighborhood" really is. Sunnyside is Denver's most under appreciated neighborhood, and it deserves some serious consideration from Denver real estate shoppers. Stop in to San Carlos someday for a lunch featuring homemade tortillas and tamales. I'm

As the builder's website says, "This place is something else.." Stapleton is the Denver real estate answer to the question: Where do I live if I love the city, but want more room, more house, and easy access to everything downtown? I'll go easy on the sales-talk after this, but if

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

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

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
