Denver Market News - April 2013

Denver Real Estate in the month of April showed another month of strong sales with a 8.79% increase. The days on market decreased again this month. Most homes priced under $500,000 are going under contract within a week, many within hours, especially those closer to downtown. As a Denver Realtor working with buyers and sellers, this market is tough on everyone. Buyers are most always competing with other offers, and sellers are worried they are accepting the wrong offer with so many to review.







Denver active listings increased 4% this month which is a good news! In 2008 we had over 20,000 active listings. Days on market have not changed much over the last several months - last August we had 64 days on market and today just a few days less with 56. The Denver Market News is looking like it will top 2013!

When the Seller says no to Repairs....

Denver’s real estate market is still on FIRE, and many sellers are sitting high on their horse feeling like King of the Mountain. It is a fact, if a buyer walks, there will be another..... but.... you have to disclose those inspection issues identified!

Working with buyers in this market is challenging when you are competing, and buyers are assuming they need to accept a property AS IS. Not all sellers are this greedy, hopefully with a good offer, they will work with the buyers on any serious inspection issues.


I remember a fix n flip last year that was exceptional (on the surface) and the buyers absolutely knew this was the one ... until the inspection. Serious items were found, plugged drains in most of the sinks, dishwasher flooded the kitchen, no venting in the laundry, piping stopped in attic when it should go through the roof, decking was "squishy" and the list went on and on. The red flag was when the agent never changed status in MLS. I hope the new buyers knew all we knew....



Blue Ribbon home warranty

A couple of great tools to use when you have a stubborn seller, Lowe’s has given us REALTORS® a benefit of offering buyers and sellers a one-time 10% off coupon. Another tool I use when inspection issues are not corrected, is purchase a home warranty. This gives a buyer a year (or 14 month with Blue Ribbon) a sense of calm knowing if the water heater goes out, the expense is only $50 for the service call.



Lowe's Realtor Benefits

A Balanced Market is best for both buyers and sellers, but nice to come up with Plan B during a market that swings towards the buyer or the seller! As a Denver Realtor, I have assisted many buyers through this process.

What Remodel Items will Improve my Home Value?

What Remodel items will Improve my Home Value? As we enter into the busiest home buying season, Denver sellers hoping to sell their homes, and get top dollar. Some common questions I get are -- what items should I remodel or update to get top dollar? How much can I do without over improving my home for the neighborhood? Kitchen Remodels Kitchen Remodels Denver real estate is on fire, and enjoying a serious Seller's Market and homes are reaping top dollar with updated kitchens with newer cabinets, solid surface counter tops and new appliances (stainless steel is popular). Bathrooms are the other area that are important to be updated. Kitchen & bath remodels/updates will usually realize approximately 60-70% of the dollars invested, as long as you don't go totally extravagant. Bathroom Remodels Bathroom Remodels Finished basements are desired, but do not get the same value as the above ground square footage, so be careful how much you spend. Many homeowners think improving their yards will reap big dollars, but only patio/decks (views too) and outdoor kitchens will give value. Buyers will appreciate any outdoor work, and will sell quicker. Outdoor Kitchens As a Denver Realtor, I remind Sellers to remember while upgrading, not EVERY penny goes into the sales price. Some of these upgrades need to be done for your enjoyment! Denver home buyers are looking for efficient furnaces and water heaters and new windows are good investments when thinking of selling. If a homeowner is thinking about doing some updating/remodeling, and you have ANY questions, call your Denver REALTOR to get advice, or you may not get the news you were hoping to hear when you get ready to sell!

When is the Best Time of the month to Close?

I have heard the best time of the month to close is the last few days of the month. This statement is due to the fact your closing costs shall be decreased as you get closer to the end of the month. The interest is always in arrears for your house payment, and the interest will be collected from day of closing to end of month. You get a month reprieve for your first house payment. It amounts to bringing a bit more to closing, or having a payment a bit sooner. Closing at the end of the month is quite busy not only with the title company but lenders too. This is a busy time of month, and when many buyers close all in the last few days of the month, means the closers are not only closing buyers and sellers, but also have to balance the figures with the lender. Often times these end of month closings are late and sometimes delayed due to everyone (lenders and title companies) being overbooked. Fridays are good days to close! With recent changes in the contract with possession and the need for post-closing documentation, Friday has become a popular day for closing. Buyers are able to complete the closing, take the rest of the day off, and move into their new home after closing & funding. I like to pick Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. With these days, you are not rushed by the closer, the lender has time to balance with the closer ON TIME, and everyone is a bit less stressed! Of course this date is negotiated between buyer and seller, and if the end of month is best for both parties - then it will close end of month!
