Buyer demand continues to be strong.
-
Consumer confidence decreased in February to 96.4
down from 103.8 in January.
-
The top three counties for Sold properties this
month were Denver, Arapahoe, and Jefferson.
With low active inventory, Buyers expectations need to be
set in order to compete.
Mortgage interest rates fluctuated upward in February and
ended the month with a 30 year conventional rate around 3.625% and a 15 year
conventional rate around 2.875%.
Advice to Sellers:
The Denver home market remains in the top 10 home markets in
the USA and this Seller’s market continues.
A Seller’s market effectively means that Buyers exceed the number of
active listings or homes for sale. New
generation homebuyers are entering the market and have been searching the
internet for a long time period to determine what type of home and where it is
located would fit the Buyer’s American Dream.
Buyers are more knowledgeable, prepared, willing to compete,
and will always think outside of the traditional home buying process to acquire
the home of their dreams.
Lifestyle continues to be the top priority of Buyers. What Lifestyle does your home represent? Not familiar with Lifestyle, reach out to a
professional.
If your home is on the market or will be soon, how do you
satisfy a buyer’s need resulting in the successful sale of your home? Let’s not forget that buyers have done their
homework, know exactly what they want in their new home, and will only compete
for the homes of their dreams. As such,
the homeowner looking to sell one’s home needs a professional who is an expert,
knowledgeable, and can assist in the Professional plan to sell one’s home.
Advice to Buyers:
Traditionally the prime home buying season begins in late
April. For the last two years, this has
not been the case as the prime season is starting earlier. The months of January and February are over
and they have shown the market that Buyer demands continues to be strong.
Active listings are at an all time low and even with new
listings coming on the market, the market remains very competitive. Buyers are participating in the market using
non traditional approaches to purchase a home.
Cash transactions, quick closes, and offering prices above the asking or
listed price are becoming the norm again.
Know what you want in a home, where you want to live, and
what price range you can afford. Complete
the pre-qualification process so you know the price range that you qualify for when
you are purchasing a home. Be prepared, manage
your expectations, and be open to looking at the entire Denver market.

Advice to Sellers:
2015 is here and the year starts with 2 lows! The lowest number of homes available for sale and the lowest mortgage interest rates since May, 2013. What is a seller to do or be aware of? The top five answers are affordability, mortgage availability, interest rates, number of homes available for sale, and new home builders.
Affordability refers to whether or not one’s home meets the criteria of a home Buyer and the pricing is appropriate for the market. The availability of homes for sale will impact the seller when the current home is under contract and whether the Seller can find a new home. Interest rates are expected to increase starting in the second quarter of 2015. Lastly, new home builders are projecting to build 25% more homes in 2015 than they were able to build in 2014. The Denver home market is expected to be in the top 10 home markets in 2015 because of job growth and an overall good economy.

Market Facts:
Seasonality continues to have an impact on the market; but,
to a lower degree than in prior years. Consumer confidence decreased in September
to 86.0 down from 93.4 in August. While the inventory of homes available for
sale remains low, lifestyle choices continue to be the number one priority of
home buyers. Mortgage interest rates fluctuated in September and ended the
month with a 30 year conventional rate around 4% and a 15 year conventional
rate around 3.125%. The fall season is here and the market continues to show
its strength.
Advice to Sellers:
The fall housing market is expected to be seasonally strong,
despite buyers showing greater signs of being conservative in their home
purchases. There still remains a desire
for an increase in the homes available for sale. Buyers are more cautious and sticking to
their lifestyle choices and budgets for purchasing a home.
With homes continuing to be absorbed faster than homes
coming on to the market, what will help you make your home a memorable
home? In a recent nationwide survey of
buyers, prospective home buyers are looking for accessibility (#1), a special
function room such as an outdoor living room, a mud room, or an in-law suite,
and does your home have the availability to add more space and features.
If your home is on the market or will be soon, how do you
satisfy a buyer’s need resulting in the successful sale of your home? Let’s not forget that buyers have done their
homework, know exactly what they want in their new home, and will only compete
for the homes of their dreams. As such,
the homeowner looking to sell one’s home needs a professional who is knowledgeable,
and can assist in the Professional plan to sell one’s home.
Advice to Buyers:
The fall season is here and the Denver home market is
showing seasonal cooling, as is the weather.
Now is the time to continue the home buying focus on lifestyle priorities
and the home purchase budget. Keep in
mind that “forecasts” indicate/predict that mortgage interest rates will climb
by up to ½ %. Be prepared and look at
locking in a rate prior to active home looking.
Know what you want in a home, where you want to live, and
what price range you can afford. Complete
the pre-qualification process so you know the price range that you qualify for when
you are purchasing a home. Be prepared, manage

With the end of August behind us and fall around the corner,
the market remains strong; but, yet the market is showing a seasonal slowdown.
-
Home affordability increased in August.
-
Mortgage interest rates were lower in August
with a 30 year conventional rate around 4%.
-
Consumer confidence increased in August to 92.4
up from 90.3 in July.
Overall, the Denver home market continues to have less than
a two month supply of homes available for sale at the current sales rate.
Advice to Sellers:
In the Denver home market seasonal slowdown is here and yet
the market is expected to stay strong for the remainder of the year and
possibly set several records again this year.
Now is the time to look as if you were a Buyer. What stands out and what does not stand
out? Is it time to de-clutter, update
your home, possibly do some remodeling, or change the curb appeal?
With the season changing, the market will change also. The frenzy of multiple offers seen earlier in
the year will be more moderate and buyers will continue to make offers on homes
that meet their lifestyle criteria. The
market will continue strong to year end; but, will slow down and fewer
transactions will be finalized on an ongoing basis.
If your home is on the market or will be soon, how do you
satisfy a buyer’s need resulting in the successful sale of your home? Let’s not forget that buyers have done their
homework, know exactly what they want in their new home, and will only compete
for the homes of their dreams. As such,
the homeowner looking to sell one’s home needs a professional who is a local
expert, is knowledgeable, and can assist in the Professional plan to sell one’s
home. Now is the time to reach out to a
Professional.
Advice to Buyers:
Three plus months remain in 2014. If you are a Buyer, you will see a slowdown
in the market even though it will continue strong. There may be more homes available for sale;
but, Sellers will be expecting to receive premium price offers for their home.
The market has shown for the last two years that even with
the seasonal slowdown, it continues to be a good time to look for a home and
purchase the home of your dreams.

Advice to Sellers:
Change continues, the prime season is almost over, and
school has started. Is now the time to
list your home or if your home is listed; what does a seller do?
Previously the Sellers advice has touched on the basics of
know your market, know your competition, know pricing, know buyer’s wants and
needs, declutter, upgrade where necessary, maximize curb appeal, and be
prepared.
With the season changing, the market will change also. The frenzy of multiple offers seen earlier in
the year will be more moderate and buyers will continue to make offers on homes
that meet their lifestyle criteria. The
market will continue strong to year end; but, will slow down and fewer
transactions will be finalized on an ongoing basis.
If your home is on the market or will be soon, how do you
satisfy a buyer’s need resulting in the successful sale of your home? Let’s not forget that buyers have done their
homework, know exactly what they want in their new home, and will only compete
for the homes of their dreams. As such,
the homeowner looking to sell one’s home needs a professional who is a local
expert, is hyper local market (neighborhood) knowledgeable, and can assist in
the Professional plan to sell one’s home.
Advice to Buyers:
The prime season is ending and fall is around the
corner. What will the market look like
for the remainder of the year? How can
Buyers compete in this ever changing market?
Will there be more homes available for sale? What will be the impact on pricing?
The market will continue strong; but, will slow down as
fewer transactions will be finalized.
Now continues to be a good time to look for a home and purchase the home
of your dreams as the inventory of homes will start to increase moving into the
Fall.
Know what you want in a home, where you want to live, and
what price range you can afford. Complete
the pre-qualification process so you know the price range that you qualify for when
you are purchasing a home.
Be prepared, manage your expectations, and be open to looking
in different areas.
