2nd time is a charm?   There were two out of the area buyers that wanted this home, but both had a home to sell.   The first ones got their home pending in a few hours, but the buyers got cold feet the VERY NEXT DAY, and their home hasn't gone back UC since.   The other buyers got their pending quickly, and was a cash offer, but wanted to wait until the inspection was just about complete.    They wrote Sunday morning, and we are now pending in Parker!

It is very disheartening to hear - sorry, our buyer had buyer's remorse.  (after one day UC)   Our buyers were from Prescott AZ, and only had their home on the market for about 4 hours when a cash offer came in.  WOW, good job.   They immediately wrote on my listing and had a quick close date.   All good.....Then the very next morning get a call, buyers still want the house, but their buyers had a change of heart!  OH CRAP!We had AT LEAST 10, maybe more, buyers who wanted my listing, but would be contingent, and most did not even have their home on the market.Well, back on the market, and hope some of the buyers that view the home this week are ready to BE a buyer!   If they are contingent, they will have to have their home in pending status first!

 Stroh Ranch is a highly desirable community in South Parker 80134.     This community is located West of Parker Road (Highway 83) between Hess Road and Stroh.    You will find single-family homes, condos, and townhomes.   Many of the homes in Anthology (to the West of this community) have this legal description and will show up in searches.  You will know they are in Anthology, as they were all built in the 2000s.  There are currently 1,292 homes in Stroh Ranch.   If you commute to downtown Denver, your commute will be 30-45 minutes depending on traffic and weather.   Snow will increase this drive time.   However, if you catch the light rail at I-25 and Lincoln, this commute will be shorter and less stressful.   There are two hospitals within close proximity of Stroh Ranch - Sky Ridge ...

 The Town of Larkspur is located 40 miles south of Denver and West of I-25.   The town was incorporated in 1979 and today is known for the Renaissance Festival held every year in Larkspur and the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Campground.   Most homes in Larkspur are on lots of one acre or more and surrounded by trees.   You will see lots of wildlife - deer, mountain lions, bears (brown & black), foxes, coyotes, and lots of birds.  Going to the grocery store will require a trip to Castle Rock, and depending on where in the town you live, it could be 15 minutes.   There isn't much in the "town", but a gas station, post office, three restaurants, and of course two golf courses with restaurants.   Bear Dance Golf Course is closer to I-25, and Perry Park Golf Course is on the West side of town. The...

 You will find this quaint town Southeast of Denver proper, and about 20 miles or 30 minutes.  It is easy to catch the light rail at Lincoln, if you work downtown, or somewhere along the line.    There are about 61,492 residents in the Town of Parker, and Main Street is a fun place to dine, listen to live music or enjoy the retail outlets. If you are looking to buy a home in Parker, there is quite a variety of home styles and neighborhoods.   You can buy a condo or a multi-acre ranch outside the city limits, yet just a few minutes into town.    Sales for August 2023160 homes sold ranging from $475,000 to $2,950,000 (177 sold last month) Average days on market - 30 days  Median days 15  (24 last month)Average sales price was $706,750  (last month was $695,000)Sellers saw 100% to list pri...

Laura has a buyer that found a home, that I am showing on Friday (she will be out of town), that asked her - What do you think - will the Seller take a contingency? I would have said - don't get your hopes up, but the market has slowed (in some areas), so now may be a different story.   Having written a few offers for a buyer lately that was up against other offers, a contingency may not work. Right now, there are 12 ranches and one coming soon, so there may be a better chance of getting a Seller to approve this.    She was trying to get ahold of these buyers and have a conversation about this before she left town.    I told her to include a conversation - the Seller may ask for a first right so they aren't stuck in a contract for too long.
