denver: Spring in Denver
- 04/04/10 01:58 PM
The Denver real estate market is hot. Spring is officially in the air and homes are selling. The number of homes for sale have increased by 2,184 since December and the average sold price rose from $260K in January to $270K in February. In the recent months, I have experienced a demand for homes selling under $250K to be greater than the market can provide. In the last month, I've seen this trend work its way into homes selling for over $250K. Just last week, while scheduling showings, 4 of the 5 were already under contract. These homes averaged $300K and had been for sale an average of … (0 comments)
denver: The Denver Housing Market is HOT!
- 09/16/09 03:19 PM
The Housing Market is Hot!I recently did a presentation to explain what is going on in the local real estate market. My audience was surprised to hear how hot the market is. They expected to hear more about foreclosures and buyers not getting qualified but truth is, that isn't the picture anymore.
Data suggests that real-estate prices hit a bottom some time during the second quarter in Denver, and now they are on the rise. The same is true in other markets across the country.

denver: Investor Series: Why sewer scopes are important
- 10/26/08 03:40 PM
A LOT of agents don't advise their clients to get sewer scopes when they purchase a property. This is a major mistake. A broken sewer can cost between $3,000 - $10,000 dollars to repair and it only costs $99 ($99Rooter - others are more expensive) to have a tech put a camera down the sewer pipe and videotape the sewer all the way to the mainline. This will tell you and the-buyer what the condition of the sewer is. So let's see, we pay to have the furnace inspected but a new furnace will only be about $2,000. We pay to have … (0 comments)

- 10/23/08 03:20 PM
My agency, Your Castle Real Estate, was just featured in the Denver Post Newspaper with the information below. I have added my comments in parenthesis. The Denver metro area has been hard-hit by foreclosures, but the reality of the situation is vastly different depending on which neighborhood you live in. (This is true - each neighbhorhood can be very different!) While numerous reports tell a bleak story of rising foreclosures and flat house prices, an analysis of data from the Multiple Listing Service by Your Castle Real Estate shows some neighborhoods are struggling while others are untouched. The analysis drills down … (3 comments)

Investor often ask me what types of real estate investments are available on the market. Here's what we tell them. Please offer comments - positive or negative! Assignments.
