Here it is. The 2009 real estate market report for the Horse Creek subdivision in Parker Colorado. This report shows all the homes sold for 2009 in Horse Creek. Special thanks to Dan K. for requesting this report as I have been slow to get them all completed. Please don't hesitate to request specific information or stats. I love putting them together. Please make sure to see the FULL spreadsheet here of the 2009 sales and numbers. Here is the spreadsheet for 2008 homes sold in Horse Creek in Parker , Colorado. Two very different years for Horse Creek. 2009 versus 2008 the total sales numbers are far below what was sold in 2008 and to be honest 2008 for me was no where near as good as 2009. I know the election and the havoc caused by that and the massive stock market drop had a lot to do...

Sidewalks/Streets upgraded in Stonegate Village Parker Colorado- In March 2010, Douglas County started a sidewalk and corner/handicap ramp replacement project that is scheduled to be complete by end of May so that the overlay and surface treatment of the asphalt streets can commence in June. The current project, as of today, will replace between 3,400 - 3,600 linear feet of concrete sidewalks in Stonegate Village Parker Colorado and does not include the handicapped ramps at the corners of each street. The $500,000 is only for the sidewalks. The costs of the ramps are up and above this cost. So, why are the handicap ramps being replaced in Stonegate Village Parker Colorado? In the George W Bush presidency, new standards for the American Disability Act (ADA) were passed. These standards i...

One of the best ways I serve employers in the community is through my relocation services.  I have a background in HR Management and 10+ years experience in recruiting.  This comes in handy for my real estate business.  My contacts in HR notify me when their employees are moving to town and I help them with their housing searches.  I ran the relocation group at EchoStar and the DISH Network in the past. As a licensed Realtor, I am especially adept at handling high level, detail oriented executives and managers. I have worked hard on several EchoStar relocation deals.  I have helped several managers, directors and vice presidents at EchoStar and its sister company DISH Network find homes. With EchoStar relocation you must be willing to work nights and weekends because these folks are ext...

Took the kids to the Monster truck Jam in Denver over the weekend. They loved it. We all had a blast and it wasn't very expensive. At least until we valet parked for $20 but to be honest we couldn't pass up the front row parking by the door when it was so cold out and we were a little late. If you are looking for fun things to do I highly suggest it. See the full gallery on posterous Posted via web from Steven Beam's posterous

Here it is. The 2009 real estate market report for The Pradera Golf Club. Please make sure to see the FULL spreadsheet here of the sales and numbers. If you consider the pre and post election depression the entire country was in last year and early in 2009 I think the Pradera real estate market did really well. Basically nothing much was selling just after the elections and it took a few months for everyone to cool down before they started re-entering the real estate market. That being said you should take note that while the main market which is homes under the $700,000 level sold really well while the homes priced $800,000 and up fared far worse than the year prior or any previous years. With only 6 homes selling in 2009 with a NET proceeds to the seller of over $900,000 it was a toug...

  Gaspare's is a restaurant and a bakery located in Parker, Colorado. The bakery is next door to the restaurant and it all looked very good and there wasn't a lot left buy 1:00 in the afternoon. The Strawberry Cheesecake really looked good. It's another great way to have fun in Parker, Colorado. If you are looking for a nice place for lunch try their lunch buffet. Not a huge selection but all the food was very good and fresh. My wife loved the Jalapeno Corn Chowder. I tried the sausage and peppers, pasta and broccoli and the tomato with goat cheese salad. It was all very good and fresh. I recommend it highly. It's nice to finally see parker attracting new family owned businesses to the Mainstreet area. It appeared that they have outdoor seating too but it was 8 degrees today so we deci...

  Looking for day care or child care in Parker Colorado? Montessori School may be a great solution to your child's needs. Do you have a child 18 months to 2.5 years old that you want to enroll for Montessori School? Parker Montessori Educational Institute is now taking applications for the new Toddler Class.I believe Montessori is a great alternative to standard day care. Children of different ages interact in a classroom setting with generally self directed activities. Our son has been attending this school for almost three years and we have enjoyed watching him learn, grow and mature with his fellow students at Parker Montessori. He loves it there and we feel like he is receiving excellent instruction and care from the staff. If you have additional questions please call the school at...

  Every year we get the same calls from our sellers and they all want to know if they should decorate their homes for Christmas if the house is on the market. My standard answer is live like you normally would if the house was not on the market. (BUT KEEP IT CLEAN) If you decorate every year then decorate. I should emphasize that if you decorate like Clark Griswold then please tone it down. I have never in 11 years had a buyer complain about Christmas decorations in or on a house when showing homes during the Christmas Season. Realtors and buyers love walking in homes with fresh cooked sweets and the good smells of Christmas. NOTE: If you have a North facing property or one with a sidewalk that takes days or weeks for the snow to melt off I highly recommend that you make sure the sidew...

  Miracle? Yep I think so. Investment property miracle is what it really turned out to be. If it wasn't a real estate miracle it was sure a great deal on a sweet little investment property. 57% of asking price is great in my eyes!   Last week I found a sweet little investment condo for a client of mine. This guy had his eye on a newer condo complex in Parker Colorado for over a year. Last year 1 & 2 bedroom properties were selling for between $90,000 and $110,000 in this complex. Just a little too much to cash flow so we kept watching the prices fall through the summer.   When I called him last week we ran over and looked at 6-8 of the available units and were searching for the best deal. Anyway we ended up finding a 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit without a garage that the bank had begun to ma...
