Adding a New Service to My Preferred Vendor List
 
 
It is always nice when you need someone for a service you haven't needed in awhile and you are lucky enough to run across someone who takes pride in their work, and does so with a smile.
Today, we needed someone to haul away some old appliances that were being discarded from a kitchen remodel.  Some still functioned perfectly, but are out dated and will not fit in with the remodel decor. 
The service provider, Mark, of Mark's Hometown Hauling was such a pleasure to meet.  After chatting with Mark … (2 comments)

Shake Roof Replacement Mandate - City of Boulder
2014 is right around the courner for any homeowners within the city limits of Boulder, Colorado who still have a shake roof.  All shake roofs must be replaced before January 1, 2014. 
According to Boulder's planning and building office, the shake roof ban, has been an on-going project for the last 20 years in an effort to mitigate unnecessary fire risk.  20 years ago there were 1,500+ homes with shake roofs within the city limits of Boulder.  Since then many roofs have been replaced with conforming roofs.  Building permits are required for roof … (2 comments)

Inventory Levels for Boulder County and Surrounding Areas
 

Graph
Inventory levels in Boulder county and the surrounding area communities continue to lag behind last year's inventory levels. This of course is placing buyers in a bit more of a competition with each other as new homes come on the market.  There is definitely pent up demand, making our lower inventory levels seem even lower.
Our local market has definitely switched from a buyers market to a sellers market.  Still I recommend that sellers take their time in prepping their Boulder County homes (and surrounding community homes) and getting them … (1 comments)

Denver Real Estate ~ Southwest Airlines New Denver Hub
We've all enjoyed Southwest Airlines since they arrived in Denver.  Not just because they're a great airline to fly, offer additional flight choices, have low, competitive fares.... your bags fly free, regardless whether or not you happen t have "status" with the airline.  Of course,  we love all their commercials too; their marketing department definitely has a good sense of humor!
So, in case you have missed the news lately, Southwest Airlines is going to become an even bigger deal in Denver starting in October.  Why?  Southwest Airlines will be adding Denver … (4 comments)

Homes for sale in downtown Louisville, CO ~ Pedicabs making a debut?
