denver real estate: Denver Gas Prices - Ouch! Here's How to Find Your Local Low - 06/10/08 05:41 AM
You are probably as irritated as the rest of us at the price of gas.  Around town its nearing the $4.00 mark and I hear a few places in the Denver area have now surpassed that. 
Here is a quick & easy way to find out where in the Denver area has the cheap(er)(est) gas prices on any given day at any given time.
Go to Denver's page of Gas Buddy.
It will even tell you the highest prices around as well, in case you were wondering that too. 
Here's a screen shot from this morning (6/10/08).

denver real estate: Can You Still Buy Your First Home in the South Denver Suburbs? - 06/07/08 02:41 AM
With the increase of the price of homes over the last several years and perhaps the economic crunch hitting savings a bit, can this really be done? 
Perhaps. It depends on you.
If you have been planning for this, keeping your debt low and credit history excellent then you really can buy your first home here.  Of course, what I run into often are people not satisfied with needing to start out in anything less than what mom and dad have, or friends, etc… 
This is where you need to look hard at the magic reality mirror and ask yourself what … (4 comments)

As I recently mentioned, I am switching over to a new home search feature.  I have been looking at new search features for Denver homes for some time and for a while I thought I had something, but in testing, it just wasn't everything I really wanted for my Denver area home buyers.  
So the search started over a few weeks ago and I am really pleased with what I am going with.  The new Denver real estate home search is now live.  It has a fully adjustable Google map that acts as its map based search and I … (2 comments)

denver real estate: Living in Colorado - A Summer of Fun Without Leaving the State - 05/28/08 03:38 AM
Memorial Day Weekend has just past, my kids get out of school this week, and its time for my own family to evaluate our summer plans.  Last summer my family was very fortunate in taking two very wonderful trips for vacation.  We actually had not planned two trips so close together - it just sort of happened.  We had been planning our trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons for almost two years and a bit more last minute we accepted an invitation to attend a family reunion in Europe.  Which was fantastic as we had ever been there before.

Market Reports & Sales Trends - Centennial, Littleton, Greenwood Village Homes Sales & Real Estate - April 2008
In this Denver suburban area - homes for sale inventory (single family homes) has risen form last month as has homes sold and even pending sales has slightly risen.  Condos and townhomes in the area are a bit more level as March - althgouh sales have increased slightly.  There are definitely still some areas and neighborhoods that are doing better than others and I suspect we will see this trend continue through the summer months ahead.

denver real estate: Living in Denver - The Denver Zoo - 05/16/08 01:32 AM
If you are considering a move to Denver, one of the things you will want to put on your list of things to do is the Denver Zoo.  A trip to the zoo could also be a perfect diversion during a home shopping trip, once you have found your home!
The Denver Zoo is really one of the nicest zoo's I have ever been to - and I am not just saying that because I live here in Denver.  It truly is.  We have been countless times and there was a period of about 5 years when my kids were a … (6 comments)

Vacant Homes For Sale Are Probably Not The Same As Occupied Homes In The Eyes of Your Insurance Policy
 
Last Sunday we had breakfast at my mom's.  The kids had slept over and we went over for some breakfast burritos when we picked them up.  Thanks mom!
My mom always has a little article or tidbit to share with me when we visit.  She just rips them out of the newspapers or magazine that she finds them in.  I love seeing what she has to share as its generally rather interesting and I enjoy seeing what sparked her interest.

denver real estate: Living in Denver - Spring in City Park - 04/30/08 02:31 AM
I had a little time this week between meetings so I stopped in at City Park to take a few photos.  Spring is definitely in the air in Denver, the flowering trees are blooming, the grass is greening up and even the ducks and geese seemed to be celebrating. 
 
I don't get extra time in the city very often, so it was a treat for me.  
 
So far this week, the weather has been really nice in Denver.  A little overcast here & there but warm and mild.  But it sounds like tonight yet another cold front is … (4 comments)

Calling All Colorado Campers 
Often times when I am working with folks that are relocating to Denver, they are very excited about camping for the first time in Colorado.  With good reason too, there are so many great places to camp that are so fun and so beautiful there really is something for everyone.  And whether you are an experience camper that is ready to hike in, a recreational camper that does the full tent-thing or pop-up or perhaps even a novice looking for a rustic cabin to cabin-camp - there are so many options.

This won't be my usual Denver real estate post - but it is in its own way. I live here and I work here and this is my Earth Day post.
I have to admit in the now distant past I haven't been the most aware when it comes to "green" & environmentally friendly. And I am not by any means claiming to be the be-all know-all on this. In fact I do have much room for improvement in both my business & my family life. But I am trying. Some of the things that I have done in the … (8 comments)

Denver Real Estate
Here is a compilation of March 2008 Market Reports by MLS area for Denver homes & south metro area.   
Overall, there is activity.  If you read the individual summaries, you will see that some areas are faring better than others - where as some have seen a bit more of a slow down.   There are definitely buyers out there, quite a few of them actually.  They are smart, they are savvy and they are not going to buy an over priced home or a home that is not well maintained or in poor condition when they … (0 comments)

denver real estate: Denver South East - Market Report - Denver Home Sales - March 2008 - 04/18/08 01:11 PM
MARKET REPORT - DENVER REAL ESTATE - DENVER SOUTH EAST - MARCH 2008 
 
This part of the Denver real estate area has an oversupply of homes available now.  With about 9 months supply, sellers will need to watch their pricing and condition.  Patience is necessary because if you are trying to sell right now, one month seems like a year.  It can be very frustrating indeed!  So with an average days on market at 129, the sellers may be going a bit crazy.  The buyers are entering the market more now than before and most have seen a lot of … (0 comments)

Real Estate Market Reports for March 2008 - Jefferson County - Littleton 
Jefferson County Colorado - STATISTICS FOR HOME SALES IN THE AREA -Jefferson County - Littleton
This part of Jefferson County has about a 5 1/2 month supply of homes.  Fairly balanced.  There are areas with higher priced homes, which drive the average asking price.  However, the typical home value at just over $300k makes up the majority of homes and also the majority of buyers.  With that in mind, it seems to be a good market for both buyers and sellers.  Buyers have been a bit slower to the … (1 comments)
