If you are looking to purchase a condo in the Denver area, or anywhere else in the U.S., for that matter, make sure it is certified for FHA Financing before you fall too much in love with it. Today in the Denver Post there is a very interesting article relating to condo developments being certified and approved for FHA financing for potential new buyers. If you have other options like paying cash or going conventional, this factor won’t stand in the way of your purchase. But if FHA is your only option, be aware! Two of the main requirements is… Read More
There is something for everyone in Westlake Village in Broomfield. Every style you could want is there whether you are a baby boomer and prefer a ranch or whether you are someone younger with or without a family and prefer a two story, tri-level or 4-level. What I like about Westlake Village is that the homes there are older, most of them built in the 1970′s, but are priced very moderately and I think many buyers in today’s market are wanting to play it safe and buy conservatively. To that I say, “Way to go, I like it!!” In Westlake… Read More
Many baby boomers are ready or will be ready very soon, to the tune of 77 million, to downsize from their much too large, way too many floored, and way too high maintenance homes, to ranches priced between $140,000 to $230,000. What do baby boomers have that other would be buyers or sellers do not? Equity in their homes for one thing. Being a baby boomer myself, I can attest to the fact that in our younger days, we were taught to build up equity in our homes by making the payments on time and extra payments, if possible, rather… Read More

Please note these figures are the changes that happened between 2009 and 2010. Figures for this past year have not yet been released. 1) The number of people owning their own homes in 2010 remained… Read More

My happy buyers are lovin’ their newly purchased “little piece of pie in the sky”. This nearly new home is on 1 acre of peaceful mountain living among the beautiful wild flowers and aspens now gradually turning their fall colors. This cabin is adorable near Jefferson CO. It takes about 2 hrs. to travel there on Hwy. 285 through Conifer and Bailey, but the drive there alone, is breathtaking and the time goes by quickly. There are some great buys on cabins in that area now, and my recent buyers of this property snagged a great one! Enjoy……….. my… Read More

Do you really think I or anyone can tell you that? Not!!…… But I can give you some statistics, which may help you with your future purchase or sale of your home within Adams County. New listings were down by 42.8% and the number of presently active listings were down by 27.4% – wow, what that means to me is that many people have put off selling their home for now; probably coming to the realization that they will not profit or have a very limited profit at best, from the sale, should they sell now. So if they… Read More
