See current market reports for Arvada, Westminster, and Broomfield CO (click the link) See Westminster Homes for Sale between $300,000 and $400,000 Read on for a report on Westminster Home Sales: What this report tells you: The absorption rate for Westminster CO homes in the $300-400,000 price range is a little longer, as is to be expected. It is still a figure that would indicate a 'seller's market'. With so few homes on the market, it is a good time to sell, and buyers need to have a pro-active agent working hard for them!

See current market reports for Arvada, Westminster, and Broomfield CO (click the link) See Westminster Homes for Sale under $200,000 Read on for a report on Westminster home sales: What this report tells you: Westminster homes selling up to $200,000 are in a strong seller's market, resulting in many sales at or over list price. The amount of time these homes stay on the market before going under contract is 1/3 what it was in 2011.

denver boulder real estate: How Does an Offer Contingent on the Sale of My Current Home Work?
- 03/16/13 09:39 AM
If I want to make an offer on a house,
but I can only go through with the purchase once my current house sells,
how does that work?
Good question, eager homebuyer!
Short answer: You simply include the address in paragraph 10.8 of Colorado's 'Contract to Buy and Sell Real Estate', and add the Conditional Sale Deadline into Item 28 of the Dates and Deadlines Table in Paragraph 3. You can read what paragraph 10.8 says at the bottom of this post.
Personally, I would include an explanation of where you are with the sale of that house. … (6 comments)

denver boulder real estate: Best Homebuyer Practices in a Sellers Market
- 03/15/13 08:09 AM
It definitely is a seller's market here in Denver's northwestern suburbs. Anyone who wants to buy a house below $250,000 needs to know this is serious business! The climate gets better for home buyers the higher the price range is, but the majority of homes in the Denver to Boulder area are in the mid $200s.
If you want to buy the best house on the market in that price range ...
Get serious - get an agent
Get serious - get financing

Find an agent who works primarily in the area where you want to buy. An … (8 comments)

denver boulder real estate: Arvada Homes Are More Expensive the Further West You Go
- 03/12/13 09:24 AM
It's true - Arvada homes are more expensive the further west you go. There are a couple of reasons for this phenomenon -
1. The Rocky Mountains
Beautiful, awe-inspiring mountain views are more likely to be a daily encounter in west Arvada than they would be further east. The photo to the right was taken from one of The Village at Five Parks five parks. (Not a typo - there really are five parks!)
That is, unless you're lucky enough to get one of the hill-top homes in neighborhoods like Huntington Heights or Sierra Vista.
Proximity to the mountains is also desirable for people who … (0 comments)

denver boulder real estate: Which Arvada Neighborhoods Boast the Best Elementary Schools?
- 03/08/13 03:26 AM
Wondering which Arvada neighborhoods boast the best elementary schools? Many home buyers choose their neighborhood after choosing which school they want their kids to attend.
Once you've chosen the school, I'd love to help you find a home that fits your budget in that school's boundaries.
Below, you will see the results of some research that I recently did. If you came to me wanting to buy a house within a certain school's boundaries, this is the kind of research I would do for you. Then, I would set up an automatic search in the MLS and in my website (DreamHouseHunting.com), so … (3 comments)

The line graph shows only the tiniest variance from year to year.
The bad news for folks selling in this price range: over 10 months' worth of inventory, and growing competition from new construction.

I will be surprised if that remains so short but if it does, home buyers in this, the price category where most Arvada homes sell, will have to bring their 'A+ game' if they want to buy a house.

So distressed sales continue to be a drag on prices in this category.
However, with 21 homes on the market right now, and 19 sold last month, they won't last long. Buyers in this price range have got to make their best offer, and quickly. Out of last month's 19 sales, 7 either sold … (4 comments)

denver boulder real estate: My Credit Cards Are Maxed Out - Can I Get A Mortgage?
- 02/27/13 01:54 AM
If you told me your credit cards are maxed out, and asked it you can still get a mortgage, I'd advise you to speak with a lender. I'm not qualified to give loan advice, but lenders such as the one who recently answered this question in their 'Mortgage Tips' series certainly are!
Read on for the answer to this question from Chris and Debbie Thomas of America's Mortgage:

denver boulder real estate: Why Did That House Sell So F-A-S-T!?! It's About Eye Candy
- 02/24/13 03:05 AM
It's interesting to see homes that sell exceedingly fast, then to notice that they previously had been on the market for a long time, unsold. I'm curious about such events - could it be a lower price? the changing market?
So once in a while I take the time to see if I can figure out what made the difference.
For instance, I just saw a home in Westminster's Brandywine neighborhood that came on the market yesterday and is under contract today. I checked the listing history, and noticed it was priced $5,000 less than in a previous listing, but … (0 comments)
