jefferson county: About Arvada Real Estate - 72% of American families could afford to buy a home - If they have a job - 05/22/10 03:52 PM
I saw this article and the words, '72% could buy a home' caught my eye, so I'm using it just as I saw it - except I added the 'if they have a job' part! I wondered, "How does Arvada real estate compare to this article's claim?" I'll address that later, but first, here's the link to the CNN story for those of you who like to read it yourself.
And the 'peak your interest quote': "NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- It's prime time for house hunters. Nearly anyone with a decent job and a good credit score can afford to … (2 comments)

jefferson county: Buy a Bag, Feed a Family, Preserve the Planet - 04/18/10 04:55 PM
Yes, that's right - you can buy a beautiful shopping bag made from African kanga cloth and you will be helping feed a family (because the Kenyan women who make the bags now have a source of income) and preserving the planet (by adding fewer plastic shopping bags to the world mess). The bags are really cool - beautiful, with lots of inside pockets. Each bag comes with a DVD that tells a woman's story and large bags come with a smaller purse.
If you don't live anywhere near me (in Arvada, Colorado) you can get bags directly from the … (1 comments)

jefferson county: Arvada is a Giant Playground - 03/11/10 10:49 AM
I had coffee with a former client, now friend of mine, who bought a house in Arvada recently. The whole time we were looking at houses, negotiating, waiting (short sale), she was torn about leaving Lafayette. Lafayette had been good to her and her family, and she really loved it. But they needed a shorter commute for her husband, hence the move.
What she thought she'd miss most about Lafayette was the life she'd built for her 2-year-old daughter. It is hard any time moms and dads move their kids, we never know how they'll react. But she didn't need to worry … (5 comments)

jefferson county: Between Denver and Boulder - Pomona Lakes' Homes with 2000+ Finished Square Feet - 07/12/09 01:09 PM
There's a one-level (ranch style) home for sale in Arvada's Pomona Lakes neighborhood, which caught the eye of a neighbor because it's larger than most (1,682 square feet on the main level plus a full finished basement). The asking price was recently lowered to $269,900. So the gentleman and his wife and I went to see the house yesterday.
It is definitely good-sized, with a finished basement. It had been remodeled some over the years (built in 1972), but doesn't have any of the 'wow' items that buyers want today, such as wood floors (there was some older parquet, that needed … (0 comments)

jefferson county: Protesting Your Colorado Homes' Tax Valuation - 05/08/09 04:47 PM
Colorado homeowners should have received their property tax valuation notices by now. Most of you will see a decreased value, which means paying lower taxes. But for those of you who want to protest your valuation, here’s how.
(BTW – sometimes I hear people complain that their valuation is too low. Why?? Maybe you don’t realize that these valuations do not affect the market value of your home if you want to sell the house?)
I receive valuations from both Jefferson and Adams County. In both cases, the form to use for protesting the valuation is on the back of the … (0 comments)
