 Stroh Ranch is a highly desirable community in South Parker 80134.     This community is located West of Parker Road (Highway 83) between Hess Road and Stroh.    You will find single-family homes, condos, and townhomes.   Many of the homes in Anthology (to the West of this community) have this legal description and will show up in searches.  You will know they are in Anthology, as they were all built in the 2000s.  There are currently 1,292 homes in Stroh Ranch.   If you commute to downtown Denver, your commute will be 30-45 minutes depending on traffic and weather.   Snow will increase this drive time.   However, if you catch the light rail at I-25 and Lincoln, this commute will be shorter.   There are two hospitals within close proximity of Stroh Ranch - Sky Ridge which is in Lone Tr...

 The Town of Larkspur is located 40 miles south of Denver and West of I-25.   The town was incorporated in 1979 and today is known for the Renaissance Festival held every year in Larkspur and the Yogi Bear's Jellystone Campground.   Most homes in Larkspur are on lots of one acre or more and surrounded by trees.   You will see lots of wildlife - deer, mountain lions, bears (brown & black), fox, coyotes and lots of birds.  Going to the grocery store will require a trip to Castle Rock, and depending on where in the town you live, it could be 15 minutes.   There isn't much in the "town", but a gas station, post office, three restaurants, and of course two golf courses with restaurants.   Bear Dance Golf Course is closer to I-25, and Perry Park Golf Course is on the West side of town. The po...

The Denver housing market is crazy, and Cottonwood Parker Townhomes is no different. Don't read too much into the chart showing a "price drop." Based on floorplans and unit types, we're still expecting healthy appreciation in this area. As the demand from Buyers continues to outpace available inventory, we are monitoring the supply of Parker Townhomes every day, watching for homes as they are entered into the MLS. We just created this report for one of our team's clients, and thought it was worth posting here.Market Numbers For Cottonwood: Cottonwood Townhomes for sale: 1.

 You will find this quaint town Southeast of Denver proper, and about 20 miles or 30 minutes.  It is easy to catch the light rail at Lincoln, if you work downtown, or somewhere along the line.    There are about 64,000 residents in the Town of Parker, and Main Street is a fun place to dine, listen to live music or enjoy the retail outlets. If you are looking to buy a home in Parker, there is quite a variety of home styles and neighborhoods.   You can buy a condo or a multi-acre ranch outside the city limits, yet just a few minutes into town.    Sales for April 2021213 homes sold ranging from $385,000 to $2,275,000 (up from 184 sold last month)Average days on market - 10 days (19 last month)Average sales price was $640,000  (last month was $631,000)Sellers saw 103.7% to list price  (last...

This buyer knew how to structure their bid when they found the perfect property!   There were multiple offers, but this offer "won the bid".   With a very smooth transaction, a great co-oping agent, and sweet clients - this was a wonderful transaction.   Wishing my buyer lots of wonderful new memories in their new home.  SOLD - $521,000. This past client called and said her brother needs a home close to his sisters, and we started looking at homes online.    When you start a search on a Monday, you are going to run into many homeowners reviewing offers and going pending.   This past weekend finally there were some homes to look at and found the right home for him! The inspection was completed yesterday and probably was the cleanest home I have seen in quite a while.    The Seller has a ...
