"Your Denver Real Estate Advocate at Work!"

Westminster, CO - It amazes me how we are "proceeding along" with such LOW inventory in the Greater Denver Metro areas! As you can see, by the stats below, that our inventory is over 35% below last year at this same time.

Such shortage has caused many changes in certain areas through-out Denver and the suburbs. I have participated in a few strange offer situations. We have submitted offers $15,000 over list prices and NOT received the winning bid!!

"Foreclosure Do Still Exist!"

Westminster, CO - As we move into the 2nd Qtr of 2013, we still see a trend that does not provide "high" confidence in the economy improvements. Foreclosures DO still exist, and many STILL do not try to avoid foreclosure with a short sale!

With the extension of the "Mortgage Debt Relief Act", that started in Feb. '07, for the benefit of those perfoming a short sale. This was to create relief from the tax liabilities of the 1099c, that the lender will generate for their losses, and the "debt forgiveness" to the borrower on the deficincies that would normally be defined as "income".

We still see, by the stats below, that many homeowners are NOT taking advantage of this Debt Relief Act!! The last column clearly shows that there are many homes in the foreclosure process, that has NOT placed their home on the market to work a potential short sale!

A Surprise For Our Saturday in Westminster, CO!

Westminster, CO - A beautiful Spring day in Colorado has "sprung" upon us overnight! Of course, we did get a "heads up" about this Spring snow storm, but we are always skeptical about weather reports during this time of the year! I mean, the weather reports can fluctuate hourly in this "Mile High City"!

Now, keep in mind... that in Colorado, our greatest amount of snow falls occur during the March and April time frame! Number 1 and number 2, respectively! Actually, we have had a somewhat mild Winter with the cold and snow this last season. When that happens it tends to spoil us with the warmer weather. It did reach up into the 70 degrees range, last week!!

As I look out my windows towards the streets, I have decided, with a mutual agreement of my clients, to NOT venture out today to view a property about 8 miles to our South. We have learned in Denver, that it is NOT always a desperate situation to view a property when safety is at risk... so let's not place ourselves and our clients in harm's way!!

Besides, I now have time to view my blogs and other real estate activity that can be worked at home while waiting out a Spring snow storm in Denver, Colorado.

Market Trends and Equity Improves!

Westminster, CO - The market trends and equity levels are showing improvement through-out the country and in the Broomfield and Westminster areas! This is a very welcomed trend after so many years of negative growth in sales and home values!

While we have seen sales grow by 14% in Single Family homes and 12% in Condos / townouses, we are seeing a negative element take place. YES, the home inventory is way down!!! As low as it has been in over 23 years!!

Broomfield / Westminster Stats PDF

This low inventory is NO DOUBT going to cause a problem for the Buying Market. Less inventory to view and MORE competition in winning a bid on what is available!! From the Sellers standpoint, they would have a great opportunity to capitalize on the low inventory and get their homes SOLD quicker than in many year's past!! For more details click here...

ONE MORE BIG ISSUE, is the Equity in the current homes, today! WHY?? We have about 38.1 million homes that have positive equity to sell and cover selling costs and apply towards their next home acquisition! There are STILL about 10.4 million homes that are in a "negative" equity position!!

As we move into the 2nd Qtr, we are seeking more homeowners that may want to sell, and increase our current home inventory in order to continue this Market Trend that is moving in positive direction! With an increase of 5-7% more in home values, we could witness a positive increase in Home Equity in approximately 1.8 Million homes!!
This increase would certainly help the trend to continue upwards thus creating more activity in buying and selling!! A shot in the real estate arm is so necessary to boost the economy and reduce the "woes" of foreclosures and short sales! Unemployment has shown to drop, but there are still indicators out there that does NOT believe that is the real truth to those numbers.
What do you say?? Let's get on board and make 2013 another great year in the real estate industry!!
