The Denver Foothills Colorado Housing Shortage: How to Buy a Home in an Area with Little Inventory

2022-05-26

The Denver-Foothills area is home to many beautiful mountains and lush forests, but it’s also one of the most difficult places in Colorado to find a home. Due to its natural beauty, proximity to major cities like Denver, and easy access to outdoor activities, this region has become a hot spot for people looking to buy real estate. However, as more and more people move into this area, housing inventory has become scarce. With so many homes on the market selling faster than they can be listed and an extremely low number of new construction projects that meet the demands of these potential buyers, the housing crisis continues to grow. In this blog post we explore what makes homes so hard to find in the Denver-Foothills area along with a few solutions from local real estate agencies working hard every day to provide new opportunities for those looking for a home in this unique corner of Colorado.Continue Reading

Denver Foothills – Best Places to Live and Things to Do – Realtor Evergreen, CO

2022-05-16

The foothills are a wonderful place to live. The small towns are charming and offer a slower pace of life that is hard to find in the city. The homes here are generally less expensive than the homes in Denver, and there are plenty of parks and open space for recreation. The first thing to consider when looking for a home in the foothills is what you’re looking for. Do you need a starter home or something more luxurious? If you want something larger, then you can find many beautiful family homes in either Centennial or Littleton. If you want something smaller but still has all the amenities, then look in Evergreen, Conifer, Golden, Bailey Morrison or Lakewood. For those who love being close to nature, there are some great communities like Piney Creek that have lots of green space and walking trails.Continue Reading

A realtors take on the Southwest Florida real estate market

2022-05-01

The Florida real estate market has been improving for the past few years, but it’s not necessarily where you’d think. According to real estate agent Heath Miller, “the Florida real estate market has been stuck in neutral.” While this is a complicated issue, Miller explains that the state’s economy as a whole has been sluggish. Due to this, most of the large-scale developments that would impact the market are taking longer than expected to complete. This has created a backlog of projects that may take longer to get completed than buyers and sellers hope for. That said, there have been many positive signs as well. Palm Coast, a small, coastal community in northwestern Florida, has been one of the fastest-growing areas in the state. In fact, it has been so successful that the city passed an ordinance to encourage affordable housing growth. The region has also benefited from a limited number of new projects. For example, the city of Ocala is investing more than $250 million in infrastructure, green spaces, and other amenities. This will go a long way in improving the area and keeping it as a viable location for future business investments.Continue Reading

Homes for Sale By Owner Fort Myers – Just Don’t Do It

2022-04-28

In today’s real estate market, it seems like every agent has a friend who recently sold their house for more than they expected. Or, a friend who recently signed a contract for more than they expected. Or, a friend who recently closed on a property for more than they expected. These anecdotes have become so prevalent that we often hear phrases like, “Realtors make more than FSBOs.” While the phrase may sound like a compliment, it can be harmful. A FSBO is a home seller who acts as their own agent, without the support of an agent or a real estate firm. Continue Reading
