How is Parker Colorado doing?  Average Days on the market 2007:  89.5 Average Days on the market 2008:  90.3 Hmmm...doesn't look that bleak.   Existing home sales September 07:  149 Existing home sales September 08:  153 Hmmm...this is not a negative thing at all.   Average single family home price 2007:  338,598 Average single family home price 2008:  286,065 Hmmm...seems like the world is coming to an end?  Hardly.  This number is meaningless.  It does not mean that your home has fallen in value by 54,000!  It probably only means that the homes selling for 250,000 or less have increased, while the # of luxury homes sold has decreased.  Everone that sees these kind of numbers always thinks the sky is falling.  This number changes monthly and the only driver of this is the mix of homes ...

I was shown this web page and was stunned by it, and thought it was worth sharing: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/11/12/155056/91/449/659578 It might not have a lot to do with housing, but it has everything to do with our credit crisis and that my friends impacts everything.  A couple of the charts here really make you pause.  Its insanilty really and I can't really blame the ecomonists who study this stuff and are so pessimistic about life and the world.    To me this is the key phrase: "a parabolic spike is unsustainable" And that has EVERYTHING to do with housing.  Think California, Arizona, Nevada, Florida.  Think of housing prices going up 25% a year for multiple years in a row.  Think of greed.  Its all there.  I kept telling buyers coming in from those other markets that ...

No matter what the market brings, in good times and bad we are here to perfect the art of communication and negotiation.  I love real estate.  Sure it is crazy out there.  Begging for feedback, staging to perfection, amazing incentives, call backs, showings, previews, and files that have become three inches thick with all the forms, documents and data needed to make an offer and close a contract.  I still love it.  We are working hard for every deal!  This is when we step up to bat!  Don't quit!  Hit a home run!  We must remind ourselves to focus, focus, focus.  Do what is necessary to communicate with buyers, sellers and other agents.  Return phone calls, do your homework, give feedback, make a difference in this crazy market where deals you never thought would close do and deals you t...

Ok. You want to list your home for sale and you think your place is worth $500,000 and the Realtor that just interviewed for the job said no the house is worth $450,000. I hear it all the time from home sellers here in Parker, Colorado. Be realistic and you will sell your property faster and for more money. If you are a home seller you need to be very smart when you are pricing your home for sale in Parker, Colorado. Buyers are market savvy and they know values. Many buyers start their home search many months in advance on the internet so they have learned your neighborhood values even better than most of the sellers living in the neighborhood. Remember this. 1. Over pricing your home initially will cost you more money in the long run. Add up your holding costs and look at what it is c...

  First thing first...If your Realtor isn't helping you get the house ready to sale and giving advice what exactly did you hire them for? Second they better have a fantastic marketing plan to get your property maximum exposure. Buyers are all over the internet looking for homes. Is your home plastered all over the internet? Is your Realtor providing you with still photos, virtual tours and online video? You better be where the buyers are. FREE*** Steven Beam will send a professional, licensed and bonded cleaning crew (two ladies) to your house for TWO hours to clean and prep your house to sell in Parker Colorado. Two cleaners for two hours! FREE. Common communication with some home sellers these days starts with "my house has been on the market for 100 plus days with little showing acti...

When I'm helping home buyers relocate to Parker Colorado generally one of the first questions I receive if they have children is how are the schools in Parker, Colorado. The residents here know that for the most part our schools in Parker Colorado are great. We have great teachers and a high level of parent and community involvment. So that is why we are asking for a little more community involvment to help bring another new Charter School to Parker. Wouldn't it be nice to have our very own Chrater Montessori School right here in Parker? We all know the rediculously long wait lists for the current Charter Schools. We signed our new baby up for Core Knowledge two days after she was born and we still might not get a spot.So fill out an Intent to enroll form below and mail it in before th...

We needed a quick and great family weekend getaway from Parker, Colorado. So we picked the mountains and Crested Butte, Colorado. Check out a few photos on Flicker. Click here. We stayed at the Grand Lodge and the accommodations are pretty good. With two kids (3 years and 10 weeks) there is plenty to do. The resort and the town have tons of fun stuff for our three year old. The pool has been a favorite as well as the awesome playground at the town park. Just got back to the "Grand Lodge" here in Crested Butte Colorado after a day of fun mountain biking. We took a quick trip over to Crested Butte to get away from the heat in Parker real estate and Denver. The weather has been great and the trails are plentiful. If you consider yourself a mountain biker and you have never biked Crested B...

12828 Arezzo Circle (a home for sale in Parker Colorado) is my first attempt at a full video of a property for sale. I definitly need more practice but in my opinion I think video (even amature video) gives a better idea of a property's floor plan and TRUE size. Bubble photos from virtual tours are missleading and don't give an acurate representation of a property. So I think going forward I will be shooting video of all the homes I list for sale. I'm feel confident with more experience my video quality will get better. Asking Price $389,900. Size: Almost 5000 sqft. At $126 per foot this is a great deal in any neighborhood in Parker! 5 Bedrooms 4 bathrooms.
