arvada homes denver boulder real estate: A House Has to Make Sense When You Buy It - 03/14/12 12:07 PM
I've often said today's home buyers are one smart bunch, and the comments below from a young man named Chris reinforced that for me. 
I asked a question about the 'end' of the housing crisis, and got a variety of answers. People who hope to sell a home sometime soon don't feel we are anywhere near the end. Chris acknowledges that, but then goes on to answer the question from the perspective of a first time home buyer.    I especially loved his statements, "A house has to make sense when you buy it, not when it appreciates", and "the days … (0 comments)

arvada homes denver boulder real estate: Arvada CO Home Sales Under $150,000 December 2011 - 01/15/12 10:37 AM
What this report tells you:  A couple of good trends in this price range are a reduction in the number of days Arvada homes stay on the market before going under contract, and a lowering percentage of distressed sales.  Coupled with the fact that vacancy rates in residential rentals are so low means pressure should be showing up in prices.

arvada homes denver boulder real estate: Arvada CO Home Sales $150-200,000 December 2011 - 01/15/12 10:34 AM
What this report tells you:  With 61 homes on the market, it seems there's a lot for Arvada home buyers to choose from in this price range.  However, 19 selling in the month of December means there's only slightly better than a 3-month absorption rate.
From what I've seen out there, I believe the high number of days an Arvada home sits on the market before getting under contract is due to the fact that homes in this price range are more likely to need a lot of work. And since this is the hottest price range for first-time buyers, who … (0 comments)

arvada homes denver boulder real estate: Arvada CO Home Sales $200-250,000 December 2011 - 01/15/12 10:31 AM
What this report tells you: Arvada home sales in this price range showed a year-over-year uptick in the percentage that were either short sales or foreclosures.  This is unfortunate, but it is good to see this inventory getting cleared out. Home sellers will have competition from bargains, but homes in good shape in this price range still bring offers from first-time buyers who are busy working and maybe raising children, and therefore don't want to buy a house that needs a lot of work.

arvada homes denver boulder real estate: Arvada CO Home Sales $250-300,000 December 2011 - 01/14/12 02:28 PM
What this report tells you:  Last month's report on Arvada homes in the $250-300,000 price range showed a big year-over-year improvement in days on market along with a pretty good uptick in distressed sales, and both trends continued into this month.  A home buyer shopping in Arvada in December would have noticed a higher percentage of foreclosed properties, and would have had to act fast to get one for themselves.

arvada homes denver boulder real estate: Arvada CO Homes $400-500,000 December 2011 - 01/14/12 01:29 PM
What this report tells you:  The most dramatic finding in this month's report is the increasing amount of time Arvada homes in this price range stay on the market before they go under contract.  With nine homes sold and 32 on the market, that figure probably won't show much improvement any time soon.  But this is a year of improving news for the Denver to Boulder real estate market, so we'll see what the summer home-selling season brings!
