  After attending the Quarterly economic forum for Parker Colorado real estate I came away with a few interesting items I wanted to share. View all properties listed for sale in Parker Colorado. RSS feed of all Parker Colorado Homes for sale. The Hess road to Interstate 25 cutover road should start around November 2008 and be completed one year later. This is of course if all budget items are finalized and completed as reported.

How do you handle the new loan guidelines that seem to be changing every week. Here's the scenario. You have your Parker Colorado home for sale and a buyer makes and offer. Your Parker Colorado Real Estate Broker confirms with the lender that the buyer is approved for their loan and everything looks great. Everyone is happy at this point. The problem arises when two weeks before closing and after all the inspections and negotiations, the lender calls and says wait a minute we have new lending guidelines and the buyer needs to reapply for the loan and qualify under the new conditions. Question #1. Can the lender do this and isn't the lender required to honor their original approval? The answer is Yes and No. They can do that and they are not required to honor their original approval. Som...

I recently worked with a very nice couple that is going to be moving to the Denver suburbs from out of state.  They had three children and although they are very young right now, they plan on staying here for quite some time so they had a lot of questions about the schools in the Denver area.  The communities that they were considering were all in the south Denver suburbs - all in Douglas County - they were Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines and Lone Tree.   They had heard and read a little about the Douglas County Schools - they already knew that it was rated in many different facets as an excellent school district, but they were still a bit confused about the Track System.    I directed them to several blog posts I have written in the past about the Track School System schedule for Douglas...

Working with home buyers and home sellers in Parker Colorado real estate is my passion. Lately I've spotted a new trend and it needs to be talked about. Home inspections in Parker Colorado occur every day. Why are buyers killing real estate transactions for no real reason is the question. It doesn't get to me now like it did 24 months ago but I've noticed a weird trend with buyers that I haven't seen before. Buyers are bailing out of contracts completely during the inspection. I'm not talking inspection items that are hazards or structural but everyday items like leaky faucets, carpet stretching and even GFCIs missing or broken. If the inspection reveals minor/normal issues and the buyer runs from the deal I think lack of information and advisement from their buyer's agent is at the roo...

I'm going to give you the main things that must be done to compete in this market. Interior Cleaning - Cutting corners cleaning is guaranteed to NET you less at closing.

I've posted before about the buzz going around about Lifetime Fitness here in Parker CO. Everyone is talking about and just about everyone in town is there on any given day. The place is packed. It took us 20 minutes today just to make it to the room were were supposed to be in just because we ran into so many friends, neighbors and even my boss.   We took our 3 year old son to a birthday party there for a fellow classmate. It was our first experience actually inside the giant fat burning building and we loved it. The place really does have something for absolutely everyone. The kids loved it. My wife and the other parents we talked to were very impressed with the amount of fun things they had for kids of that age. I didn't notice one child sitting around bored like at some parties. The...

I just found this article which I believe to be another global warming alert. The guy basically says cutting out the unnecessary screensavers will save massive amounts of energy around the world. It also says LCD monitors don't burn in and that only old tube monitors from the 90s need to have screensavers. I'm pretty sure LCD monitors do get burn in don't they? Maybe I'm wrong. At least a little burn in? NO more screensavers   I can't remember the last time I saw an actual screen saver in my office. Isn't this a thing of the past? I have seen rotating family photos so I guess that would qualify as a screensaver. I'd rather see family and friends flying across my screen than the old bubbles, fish or flying objects.     Technorati Profile

  Staging your home to sell in the Parker real estate market. Does it really work? First of all staging a home to be sold is certainly an art. It should be done by someone or a company that understands what interior and exterior spaces need to look like to create a POP or WOW affect on potential buyers. Some people say selling real estate is an emotional process and buying homes for sale in Parker Colorado is no different. When you take a buyer into a home that has been staged you know immediately. The house looks good, feels good and even smells good. Buyers love it and I’m a believer that it helps sell homes faster and for more money. (Sorry-But there are no real stats to back this up. At least I haven’t been made aware of them.) If it didn’t work builders wouldn’t spend hundreds of t...

Stonegate is a great place to live in Parker. After a long weekend at the Parker Days Festival we decided to spend the afternoon at one of the two pool areas here in our neighborhood. Stonegate is centrally located in Parker Colorado and offers great real estate and homes for sale. The common areas are large and well maintained and with two different pool areas there is something for everyone. We also have large well lighted tennis courts and too many playgrounds to count so if one is full you can always find your own private playground area.           Pool # 1. Is the South Pool which is the largest pool area that actually has a total of three pools inside the fence. A lap pool with small kids area, a baby pool and a kids pool with slides and diving board plus a small concession stand....
