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...

Home Buyers Tax Credit Extended   Congress recently passed legislation was that will extend the First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit. This credit also provides additional tax breaks up to $6,500 for qualified repeat home buyers. With interest rates remaining low this tax credit extension is a bonus for those looking to buy their first home or for those looking to move up. Below are some key highlights to the tax credit for each group. First Time Home Buyer The $8,000 tax credit is for first-time home buyers only. For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase. The tax credit does not have to be repaid. The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home’s purchase price ...
