Luxury Home Sales - January 2012 - Denver Colorado

Denver mountain views


Sales of luxury homes in the Denver metro area over $1 million decreased in January over December by four sales.     Inventory is down over December's active listings from 642 to 557 detached single family homes listed above $1,000,000.    Of these active listings, two are short sales, and only one bank owned property is active.


Luxury Homes in the Denver metro area currently under contract are 63, a monumental increase over any month in 2011!     Only one short sale and four bank owned properties are showing under contract.


Of the 25 sold properties that sold in January 2012, three were short sales, one was bank owned, four were new construction sales and 17 regular sales.      24% or 6 of these sales were paid for with CASH, interestingly enough, there was one owner carry, which I have not seen for years.     The remainder of these sales were purchased with conventional loans.          

Here are the sales by City within the Denver metro area -

Denver metro luxury sales January 2012


Luxury Homes in DenverLuxury home sales in Denver









The highest sale in Denver for the month of January 2012 was in Denver proper sold for $2,562,500 which was a Tuscan custom home with 4 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms and a 3 car garage and 7,050 finished square feet in the heart of Cherry Creek.


The largest home sold with the most square footage sold in Cherry Hills Village for $2,162,500 and sported 9,675 square feet finished - 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and a 3 car garage.    


The smallest home sold with the least amount of square footage sold in Denver for $1,020,000 and had 3,642 finished square feet and had 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and only a 2 car garage.


I have been tracking statistics for the last few months showing luxury market sales and find they are holding strong in the Denver metro area.   With 68 currently under contract, the statistics for February will be fantastic!

Denver is experiencing the largest snowfall of the year (so far) and is a good day Snow shovelingto stay home if you are able.     All school districts were closed today, and many businesses are closed.

Sad to say, our mountains that NEED this snowfall is not getting the benefit of this storm.      However, there are many accidents all over town, and hope drivers have the essentials needed to make it home safely.

~ Water
~ Snacks
~ Blanket
~ Full tank of gas
~ Gloves, hat and warm clothing

This time of year if you get into a traffic jam, and unable to move for long periods of time, it is not uncommon for some to run out of gas.    BE PREPARED!  

Today is a day we are to wear RED for heart health, so if you have any heart conditions, find someone in your neighborhood to shovel or use the snow blower for you.  



For those that have not seen snow, not experienced this beauty, I have done a short video to show you how beautiful and peaceful a snowfall can be!

Denver's Real Estate Market is Changing...Quickly

Denver real estate


In the last few months, buyers looking for Denver real estate have noticed the limited inventory available, and in some cases seeing multiple offers.  Showing homes on the weekends, Realtors are experiencing overlapping appointments with other Realtors and their clients.    Showings set for homes in the Denver Metro area have doubled from the previous year on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but our inventory has increased minimally.



When the supply of active Denver home listings become limited, and the demand increases, we surely will see some pricing increases in the next few months.      With multiple bidding being prevalent, the need to know where the home will appraise is very important.    If the home does not appraise at contract value, and the buyer is obtaining a loan, the dollars offered in the contract over the appraised value will need to be added to the dollars needed for closing.

Home for sale

Example - Last weekend I showed a property new on the market one day --- 15 showings first day, 7 the next, and 4 offers were received.    This home was absolutely turnkey, great location, AND $15,000 higher than any other comparable sold property in the development.        

With the market changing, we as Realtors have to be sure our buyers and sellers are aware of these facts!   Working full time in this industry is very helpful to see the changes happening, and to be able to relay this pertinent information to buyers and sellers!


Real estate is local, it is important to know all markets are not the same!


I have 15 years of experience working with buyers and sellers working full time in the Denver metro area.    My involvement within my Realtor community keeps me abreast of local governmental changes and the current industry trends.

Parker CO Market Report - December 2011

Town of Parker Colorado

 

The Town of Parker is Southeast of Denver approximately 30 miles.     It is a quaint town that is commonly called a bedroom community.    It has the small town feel, yet has lots to offer.      The Town of Parker is approximately 20 square miles.

Like Denver, Parker real estate is very low in inventory and difficult to find a non-distressed home for a family that is under $200,000.    Currently there are 150 under contract and 61 pending.    Here are the numbers for the Month of December 2011:


Parker's numbers for December 2011


Here are the numbers since May of 2011, which shows strong market activity for
December!


Parker's SOLDS since May 2011


Homes in the Town of Parker feed into the Douglas County Schools, there is a hospital, and several boutique shops as well as some large box stores.     I believe this hot market will continue as we are now seeing many multiple offer situations, especially in the price range of $300,000 and less.


Real estate is local, if you would like more information on a specific neighborhood or your value of your home, please give me a call.

Bank Foreclosures in Denver Metro - 1/23/12

Bank foreclosures

The Denver real estate market is very active with buyers looking for a deal or the ability to attain sweat equity.       A bank foreclosure is different than a short sale, many times we get an answer within a week!      If the property is in a prime location, and in good condition, you will expect to have multiple offers!      Some banks are doing improvements and they show pretty well!   

In the last couple of months, the median days on market for a bank foreclosure is 62 days and the banks have seen 88.15% of list price!     

Some banks will pay closing costs, and very helpful for those first time home buyers!   

Here are the results for a few cities in the South side of Denver and ONLY single detached homes.      If you have a different city in mind, or a multi-family property, please give me a call!


Foreclosures available 1-23-12


Ask about the possibility for a 203 Rehab loan for some repairs!

Some banks do not offer FHA financing, and some are CASH only!
