Congratulations Emily – First time Homebuyer!
This young lady is only 22 years old and buying her first home. After Covid19 restrictions were lifted we started her search with a quick deadline. I canceled my weekend trip and we got busy, looking at many different homes and neighborhoods. She decided on a property within close proximity to her office where she can drop-in during her lunch break to take her dogs out. The townhouse had been completely updated with large vaulted ceilings and a two-car attached garage. There was a complication with the HOA getting a new roof and an incompetent listing agent but we were able to take advantage of the situation. It gave Emily the confidence to meet her new neighbors during inspection who had nothing but wonderful things to say about the HOA community. Enjoy your beautiful new home, Emily!
Congratulations Kelli on buying your first home!
Buying a home in Denver is not an easy task. I originally met w/ Kelli January. After eight years in her Capitol Hill apartment, she was ready to buy her own place. She is a landscape architect in RiNo and wants a dog, so an outdoor space was important to her. We got bet out by stronger offers on the first two properties she loved and then Covid19 shut the world down. Finally, we were able to get under contract on a house, but the inspection did not go well and she terminated for good reason. We lost one more offer and finally, her journey lead her to the perfect little place biking distance from work, fully updated, with a one-car garage in my favorite neighborhood… Skyland! Welcome to the neighborhood Kelli!⠀⠀

SOLD in Stapleton
This beautiful Stapleton home was sold off-market and closed in two weeks during the Covid19 quarantine period – offer sight unseen. I became aquatinted with the owners by watching their beautiful golden retriever named June. The homeowners have since moved to the East Coast and offered the home for rent on Zillow. They found a West Coast renter who was interested in purchasing the home, so they came to terms and I helped them with the contract and guided them through a transaction for a flat fee. It was a very smooth process and I enjoyed working collaboratively with the seller and buyer through open communication. Let’s meet in the middle…Colorado where East Coast and West Coast come together!

SOLD – 420 Raleigh Street
Taylor initially helped the sellers of 420 Raleigh St purchase in December 2019 with the intention to fix & flip. It was listed at $310k but the property was overlooked due to poor pictures and inaccurate information not counting 800 ft.² in the basement. After a bit of negotiation, they got the property $10K under asking. They were hoping to sell around $450K when they embarked on the rehab. Despite Covid19 they decided to push the market and list at $460K the first weekend showings were allowed in Denver after the “Stay at Home” order was lifted. Taylor created hype around the property through social media along with reaching out to hundreds of agents. Even before hitting the market, the property had an offer at $475k. Raleigh ended up getting seven offers and was under contract within three days. Nothing like it had ever sold at that high of a price in the neighborhood and appraisal came in $20K low. Not a problem because their savvy agent anticipated this obstacle and negotiated that the buyer would pay $20K over the appraised value before they went under contract. The home ended up closing at $495K. Including all renovations, loan fees, and real estate fees, the sellers put approximately $100K into the project and made a profit of $95K within 6 months.

Denver Real Estate Stats: What you should know!
Some information can be misleading. Take this post shared Thursday, June 4th by a very credible organization, the Denver Board of Real Estate Agents. They call this information the “June 2020 Market Overview” but it is important to understand that the data is based on homes closed in May 2020. You may or may not know that once you find a home you love and put in an offer, you are typically “under contract” on that property for at least 30 days giving you a due diligence period before you close. So the homes that closed in May 2020 were put under contract in April 2020. On March 23rd Coloradoan’s were ordered to “stay at home” and by April 8th, all in-person showings were shut down. Real Estate agents adopted virtual showing strategies, but showings did not resume until the beginning of May. So now you know that June 2020 stats should really be labeled April 2020 stats. Now that you understand that our stats are a lagging indicator, you can understand how the graphic actually shows what happened to the Denver real estate market during the “Stay at Home” order in Denver.
I have better sources for my data and I’m on the front lines and I can tell you our real estate market has come back really strong since “Stay at Home”. The graph below shows data from the beginning of the year. Covid19 really started to impact our market mid-March and the worst of it was mid-April. As you can see, by the first week in May we got back on track and closing just started bouncing back last week. That makes sense right? Homes close 30 days after the showing is completed and the contract is signed. Showings started at the beginning of May, so we would expect closing to follow 30 days later at the beginning of June. Understanding that our data is always lagging by 30 days will really help you navigate real estate stats or you are welcome to JUST ASK ME!
