Denver Market Report - April 2012


The Denver real estate market has shown signs in many parts of town of being a seller's market, and Denver's warm spring weather is creating a strong market.   The inventory was down 42% in April for both single detached family homes and multi-family, which is causing some multiple offer situations especially with homes showing well and priced correctly.

Those sellers that have thought about putting their home on the market should do so now.    The need to be realistic with the list price is still critical!     Pricing homes higher … (24 comments)

Working with Relocating Clients


Relocating from one State to another or from another Country is a bit different than working with clients moving within the City.     There are quite a few things I do differently with incoming buyers from other States and outgoing sellers moving out of State.
 
 

~ We are a Mile High --- and hydration is critical before visiting Denver.   Drinking several ounces of water a few days before and all during the visit will insure you do not feel altitude sickness.

The Denver real estate market is rebounding very well, and the early spring weather is bringing buyers out in droves.   The inventory was down 41% in February for both single detached family homes and multi-family, which is causing some multiple offer situations especially with homes showing well and priced correctly.

Denver’s real estate market is absolutely CRAZY right now.    For sellers --- you have to be loving it.    Multiple offers, some offers above list price and still hoping the appraisal comes in at contract price!

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


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. … (30 comments)

Denver Market Report - December 2011

Denver’s real estate market has been very good over the last few months, and is evident by the numbers.    December's inventory is low, especially in the condo/townhome sector.    
 
Sellers are beginning to put their homes on the market, and homes are going under contract fairly quickly.     We are having a mild winter with warm days for previewing homes.       Pending status means a bank or 3rd party has given verbal approval, but has no written approval.   We are seeing more and more Denver short sales getting approved, and in … (22 comments)

Denver foreclosures for sale - Week of 8/1/11

Denver Bank owned properties/Foreclosures can be a way to see instant equity, especially if you are handy! Some properties need very little repairs to be livable, and some need quite a bit.    Bank owned properties/foreclosures are not like short sales, you will get an answer from the bank on an offer within 3-5 days. I have had answers within a couple hours!  If you were looking for a deal in Denver, this could be your answer.
