 Denver, like most larger cities right now, is experiencing low inventory, multiple offers, and offers made thousands over list price.    Early last year I had someone make an inquiry on my website and they really wanted to buy their first home.   We stayed in contact, but after COVID hit, they decided to wait it out, and renew their apartment lease for a few more months. About 2.5 months ago, they spoke to a lender and started viewing homes.   There were not many to show, so sometimes we only saw two homes a week.  They added a couple other areas, giving us more options.    After 27 homes viewed, and 10 or 11 offers written and rejected, yesterday they GOT their home.   AND this was the home they liked the BEST, so couldn't have been nicer to give them the news.   Of course, there was ...

  Wondering how the market is doing in The Conservatory?   Each month I do the statistics for this neighborhood to see how long homes are on the market, the number of homes sold, and how the home values are doing.  This is how you stay on top of a market shift or understand how quickly homes are going pending!  Below you will find the update for this month and what is currently available.  Homes in The Conservatory have basements, some are finished, some have mountain views, and were built from 2002 to 2016.  There are ranch models along with two-story and multi-level homes ranging in square footage from 1,387 to almost 3,000 above ground.  DR Horton/Continental was the original builder, but now Richmond, Standard Pacific, and Carpace have homes in this neighborhood also.  There are app...

                 Dedicating yourself to some simple tasks every quarter will always set you up for success in the following months.  The best housekeeping is proactive not reactive.  The less you have to do each quarter the better.  In Aurora property management we have an April 1st ritual of cleaning up all the desktop commuters.  Try these simple steps to get your devices optimized and running much better.                Cleaning the computers should be your first step.  Wipe down all surfaces especially your keyboard, mouse and phone receivers.  This should be done frequently but if it’s just you are using these items then you are okay to space out the cleaning.  You would be surprised how much grime, dirt and germs these devices attract and hold onto.  Clean out any dust on your ele...

 This property is now CLOSED and the new buyers are moving in this weekend.   At closing they talked about having a baby in the near future, just like the Sellers, and there was good karma in this beautiful home.   They hooted in the room, and as they exited the building they were still hooting and hollering.   The Seller closed earlier in the week, as they had already left for Michigan.    I wish the best and look forward to watching their new home being built in the next few months on their 60 acres.  As expected, this remodeled and beautiful townhome was a H O T property, and after Friday night showings, already had offers to review.   Showings went through Saturday to allow more buyers to view and received more offers.  Saturday night an offer was selected.  There is a completely ne...

KUDOS to Laura Erwin with House to Home, Inc.! This cute townhome was a popular listing and Laura secured a great buyer within two days.   (Just enough time to review multiple offers)  The buyers were very patient, and gave her time to locate a replacement home, and now have their keys!   This property has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 1,378 finished square feet, and a one-car attached garage.   These look like paired homes but have no HOA.
