denver real estate: Free Tours for a Snowy Denver Day - 02/14/08 10:21 PM
We still have a few weeks of winter left and if the occasional snowflakes happen to fall when you least expect them, you may want to consider taking one of the wonderful free tours available in the Denver area. Here are just a few suggestions.
I toured the State Capitol and the Mint when I was a child. I look forward to going back. I remember being fascinated, especially by how money is made.
These are all wonderful places to visit on a snowy day, or any other day in fact.
Happy touring!

denver real estate: Fourth Quarter 2007 Denver Real Estate Absorption Rates - 01/27/08 10:43 AM
Fourth quarter real estate statistics show that Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree are continuing to average a lower absorption rate in comparison to other featured areas, which can translate into quicker home sales. North Jefferson County's absorption rate is also lower in this current quarter. During the third quarter we had three areas identified as a Buyers Market. This quarter, we are up to eight areas. Buyers tend to shy away from purchasing a home during the holidays and that may explain the increase.
Considering Absorption Rate is one way to measure the health of our real estate market. Absorption Rate designates the number of months … (4 comments)

denver real estate: The Housing Woulda Shoulda Couldas - 01/25/08 07:50 AM
"You know, your Dad and I almost bought that land years ago. Just imagine what it is worth today." My mom said that every time drove by land along Parker Road just of I-225. That was a few years ago when my sisters and I were growing up. Is this year's housing market one where we may look back and wish we woulda made that decision to buy?
When I listen to the Sunday financial shows one person will tell us that we've hit bottom and the time is ripe to buy. The next "expert" will tell us that the housing market still has a long way to drop. There are more mortgages … (14 comments)

denver real estate: Second Quarter Residential Absorption Rates - Denver Area Real Estate 2007 - 07/09/07 06:29 PM
How many months' supply of homes are currently on the market and what does that tell us about the health of the Denver real estate market?
I wrote an earlier post, Translating Denver Days on Market, reporting what the average number of days each home was on the market before it was under contract and what that means to people considering a sale. Another way to measure the health of our real estate market is to compare how many months of supply are on hand, or absorption rate (AR). The larger the supply, the more competition there is for sellers and the higher likelihood that … (2 comments)

denver real estate: Translating Denver Days on the Market - 06/22/07 09:50 PM
We've all seen the news reports comparing "Days on Market" statistics relating to home sales. What does it mean when you are considering putting your house on the market? "Days on the Market" tells Realtors and sellers how long the average home is taking before it is under contract. Add an additional 35 days, the approximate time it takes from the time a house is under contract to finishing the deal at the closing table, and you have an average timeline from listing to moving date. It is only an average. Imagine the surprise of some sellers who are under contract within a week of … (4 comments)
