What can Denver home buyers do today? 

  • Explore the NEW Tax Credit of $6,500 for existing homeowners to buy a    new primary residence before June 2010.
  • Consider a Multi Generational Model for buying a larger home,  meaning combine several generations in one family to buy jointly into the upper price range homes.
  • Become a prequalified buyer before looking.

 What can Denver home sellers do today? 

  • Know the supply vs demand numbers for your price range and area.

A 3 months' supply vs. a 3 years' supply will make a significant  difference in how you price and market the home.

  • Consider an "Owner Will Carry" scenario for homes with equity.
  • Offer a holiday special price reduction, like "10% off for Thanksgiving Weekend Only".
