As always I like to start the week off right with some words of motivation… I took this photo on my last hiking trip and add this quote…… “Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Take the moment and make it perfect.”

Worried about PMI (Private Mortgage Insurance)? I work with a lender that has programs with 3% or 5% down on conventional loans. These programs require NO mortgage insurance by using Freddie’s Home Possible Advantage program with 3% down and their Home Possibly program with 5% down. You do need to make < $80,100 or the property does need to be in an area that is not income-restricted. Call me with questions! HAPPY SUMMER!
Pending home sales were down slightly in March, a by product of continuing low inventory and high demand.
The average sales price for April single family detached homes came to $471,145 and $312,320 for Condos and Town-homes. This is a study increase month over month since the beginning of the year.

In my last issue I talked about the top 5 factors driving our hot housing market. Two of the reasons mentioned were people moving here and job growth. I happen to have a home for rent here in Englewood, CO and after renting this home since 2004 I have never had so many out of state applicants. Many of them flying in for the week to buy or rent in the short week they are here. Although not a representative sample, my everyday life seems to be evidence coinciding with the report I posted last month entitled “Is the Denver Real-estate Market in a Bubble?”.
Last but maybe least on my list is a Spring Cleaning checklist. Items I will realistically never get to, but maybe you are more on top of spring cleaning then me! 🙂 Happy Winter (I mean Spring!)
Fabulous 4 bedroom house in a mature neighborhood (this used to be a 3 bedroom house upstairs, two old bedrooms have been turned into one). So their is 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 rooms down in the basement (non-conforming). Lots of trees, great value! 4 bedrooms including one master and 2 full bath, finished basement. Dishwasher, garbage disposal, granite fireplace. Granite counter tops, remodeled kitchen, stainless steel appliances, large fenced back yard, storage shed. Walking distance to light rail, the community recreation center, and park. Close to Platte River biking trail, and 2 dog parks. The light rail is a 15 min ride to Auraria Campus and the general downtown area. The light rail also can take you to Arapahoe Community College and downtown Littleton. There are shops nearby, one light rail stop away in the Englewood City Center. Walking distance to Riverpoint shopping area (Costco, Target etc.) This house has been recently remodeled.
THIS PLACE WILL GO FAST so please only contact us if you are ready (in town) and serious about scheduling a viewing. Available 1st of June!
