This beautiful home hasn't found its owner yet, and has done a price improvement!  New Price - $1,100,000. 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, over 5,500 total square feet, and an over-sized 3-car garage on .30 acre lot and was built in 2015.   Feels more like a newer home, as there have been no pets or little kids in the home.   This home does have a Casita for those overnight guests, returning adult children, or even office space. This home is now $200 per square foot!   Need a home for the Holidays with family coming in - this could be your opportunity.   The kitchen is massive with extended cabinetry for all the kitchen gadgets you may own!   Lots of counter space and a huge island to prep meals! This home faces south, so it will make snow shoveling in January a gem compared to your neighbors ...

If you desire a private location in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in the south metro suburbs of Denver then you need to see this home. This home has been so desirable over the years that it rarely hits the market as other neighbors are lining up to get this location. Although it has changed owners a handful of times, it has not hit the open market since 1980.The wrap around deck and multiple trees on an island cul-de-sac give the feel of a private mountain retreat, but with all the amenities of a neighborhood, including, pool, tennis, pickle ball, clubhouse and hiking and biking trails ribboned through-out. Playgrounds and trails the connect to The Highline Canal that winds its way over 90 miles through Denver.The home sits 40 feet above the home directly behind which gives...

While the overall divorce rate is going down, the “late-in-life” divorce rate is on the rise. In fact, the so-called “grey and silver” divorce rate is the fastest growing segment in America.But what makes senior divorce more complicated is the division of assets accumulated over many years of marriage. The disposition of what is likely their largest asset – the family home - can prove particularly difficult. But, with some creative thinking – and a reverse mortgage – divorcing senior homeowners can arrive at a settlement that benefits both sides.If the divorcing couple owns their home free and clear, one of the partners can keep the home and buy out their spouse with a reverse mortgage. The departing spouse can then use that money to make a large down payment on their next home… and can...

This past client ended up not moving out of state, which was her plan.  Sometimes those plans get derailed for one reason or another!    I was lucky enough to assist her with her purchase in the Denver metro area, and we did view homes in many parts of Denver and surrounding cities! This was the best one, in the best condition, and now she is the new owner!  Congratulations to my buyer, and look forward to visiting once she gets settled and see what she does with her decor.

What makes a Reverse Mortgage different from other home equity loans?  A reverse mortgage is a non-recourse loan and that means that the home is held as collateral and is responsible for repayment of the loan – not the borrower.The interest rate of a reverse mortgage is locked in at the beginning of the process.If it improves, the borrower gets the lower rate, but if the rate increases, the borrower is protected and keeps the initial interest rate.Unlike other loans, no Principal and Interest mortgage payment is required.The borrower can earn compound interest on their home equity and the growth on the equity is tax free.When the borrower accesses the equity, it is not taxableYou choose to tap the home’s equity as a line of credit and the amount you can access increases over time.Finall...

 The rates decreased this past week, and we saw a flurry of activity in and around the Denver metro area with buyers securing their Dream Homes!   So good to see, as it has been a strange year with rates too high for most buyers.The state are out for the month of August, and the numbers reflect this strange year.   Inventory is up, sales were down, yet the value of homes continued to rise.We are seeing approximately 1/10 of the homes currently active go pending each week.   About 300 properties come back on the market each week, and this week (9/10/24) we saw around 1,800 price reductions.  Typically after Labor Day we see the market pick back up, but still not at the same pace we see in the Spring.   If the rates drop again (with the Fed announcement mid-September), we should continue ...

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!

There are 11 waterfalls you need to put on your MUST SEE list, if you have plans of touring Colorado.    They may not be rushing and gushing, but pretty cool when you are hiking and run across one, even it is tiny.1. South Mineral Creek FallsReached via the South Mineral Creek Campground, hikers will trace South Fork Mineral Creek on the way to these falls, which flow into an ethereal turquoise pool with red and gray peaks standing sentinel in the distance. Nearby towns: Durango and Silverton2. Seven FallsTrek up 224 steps alongside the Seven Falls (or take the mountain elevator), which tumble 181 feet down the canyon in seven distinct segments. Nature trails and views of Colorado Springs and the sprawling Great Plains to the east add to this attraction’s natural appeal. Nearby Town: Co...

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!

When a homeowner wants to list their home, they usually know what they want to list their home for.   I recently went on a listing appointment, and he is down the street from my client.    Because they did so much in their backyard, he automatically thought his home was worth much more.So much goes into the value of a home.On top of these points, it matters whether you are comparing to a similar style.  Ranch homes are usually worth more, as more buyers would prefer a ranch, no matter what their ages.    Do you back to open space?  Do you have mountain views, or a smidge of a view?   What is the lot size?   Land matters! Over my many years in the business, I have been to several classes with the instructor being an appraiser.   They have given us a basis of what values are depending on ...

Unfortunately, we are seeing many moving out of Colorado.   Our taxes and insurance (on homes and cars) are out of control!   Our property taxes are still not like they are on the East Coast, but rising so fast, that homeowners are having issues paying their mortgage payments.Although rates are still higher than they have been for the last several years, and inventory is plentiful, home values are still increasing.   They are increasing slower, but rising.I always ask a few questions, as the answer cannot be a "canned answer".   Each and every situation is depending on that family's situation.    So you plan to purchase in the new location?   Do you need a down payment, or have a savings you can use? I do recommend if you are moving out of state, contact a property manager to manage you...

Back in June when I listed this cute ranch, I would have NEVER thought it would take this long.   Very few homes have over 2,000 sf, 4 beds, 3 baths and backing to open space for only $600,000 in Parker!   But, two months later, it was such a pleasure saying - CONGRATULATIONS, you are pending!We had endless buyers showing this home that needed to sell their home, AND they did not have it on the market yet.   Now that rates dipped this weekend, lots of showings, and lots of interest.T H A N K F U L L YThis beautiful ranch home is located in Stroh Ranch, Parker CO.    The location is great - backing to the greenbelt with walking trails!Priced at $600,00012637 Prince Creek Drive, Parker CO  80134This home features - 4 bedrooms (3 on the main floor and 1 in the basement)3 bathrooms (2 on th...

Taxpayers in The Meadows, Castle Rock, Colorado will pay over $1b over 100+ years to pay off the infrastructure cost, which cost $57m between 1986-1991. This tax is approximately 1/3 of the property tax bill annually to all owners. Property owners have been paying the metro bond tax for 35 years. They are currently paying approximately $20m per year (to pay off a $57m expense) and they continue to pay the maximum tax rate allowed by law, or they are subject to fines, penalties, liens, or even worse, property seizure. On 10/1/1993 due to tax revenue shortages, the debt was reorganized to $86m and approved with the Town of Castle Rock which included a “Bond Sinking Fund”. The purpose of this fund was to retain up to $10m in tax revenue, in case extra taxes were collected for the non-prep...
