Get Ready for a GREAT 2009!!

2008-12-10T12:36:00.001-07:00

Winter has offically arrived and the Denver market is about to explode! Thanks to the media, many of us have had a skewed impression of what is actually going on in the Denver market. Here are some things that you should know about and why NOW is the time to gear up and get ready to Sell, Buy, and Invest:

Colorado ranked #4 by the Beacon Hill Institute: http://www.beaconhill.org/
ULI ranks Denver among the top 10 real estate markets: http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2008/11/03/daily8.html
MarketWatch ranks Denver #3: http://denver.bizjournals.com/denver/stories/2008/12/01/daily25.html
Lockheed wins $1.1 Billion NASA contract

What does this all mean? Well, contrary to what you are hearing, the Denver market has been stabilizing and in many areas (areas that most of my clients live and work) may begin to see appreciation. You need to know and deserve to know the truth about your immediate neighborhood. Through proper education, I can help you achieve your goals. Don't miss out because you were incorrectly informed! There is current speculation that there might even be a loan available at a 4.5% fixed rate for 30 years for a new purchase, owner occupied property. Opportunities are constantly presenting themselves......I want you to be ready for them.......especially for the opportunities in 2009!!

Fall is finally here! Remember basic home maintenance for the fall:

Service Furnace
Add Weather Stripping if needed
Clean out gutters
Winterize Sprinklers!

And promise me that you will rake the biggest pile of leaves and jump in!

VERY IMPORTANT: If you are thinking about selling in the spring........you need to get ready NOW! There have been a lot of people waiting to see what happens to the real estate market and they can't wait any longer...they need to move!! I forsee a lot of new listings in the first quarter of next year. If you are not prepared and ready, you will get lost in the inventory. There are key things to be doing now in order to get Under Contract faster, quicker, and for a higher price.

A Good Time to Sell!!

What did she say?? Did she say it's a good time to sell your home? YES I DID!!! Forget what you've heard on the news from the "national media" and forget what you hear about the "Denver Metro Area"!! Your specific neighborhood could be what every buyer is trying to find right now! I have worked with over a dozen buyers who have written over 4 offers each trying to find the right home. They are starving out there!! Besides a lot of junk and homes that need a lot of work, there is nothing that a buyer can move right into for a good price. Most buyers want a decent home in excellent condition and there's no inventory for them to choose from. Where have we been looking?? In Arvada, Golden, Littleton, Lakewood............What Price Range? $180,000 - $500,000!!! Call me and let's chat if you disagree!!

The Time to Buy is Now!!

2008-04-02T09:05:00.000-07:00

When inventory begins to decrease and prices start to stabilize, it's the perfect time to buy! Those living in Arvada, Broomfield, Westminster, Boulder, and Lafayette will see a lot of job growth to their immediate market with Energy Conscious Firms moving into the area including Conoco Phillips. What have you been reading and seeing in your local community about Real Estate and what impact has that made on your view of the current Real Estate conditions in Jefferson, Boulder, and Denver Counties??
