Why Denver Buyers Are Choosing New Builds—and Why It Might Be the Right Move for You
If you’ve been watching the Denver real estate market, you know inventory has been tight, with fewer resale homes hitting the market. With current mortgage rates holding steady around 6.8-7%, many homeowners are holding onto their low-rate loans, choosing not to sell. This has led to a fresh trend: buyers are turning to new builds in Denver’s suburbs and surrounding areas. If you’re in the market, here’s why a new build might be the perfect option for you right now. 1. Resale Inventory is Scarce, But New Builds Are on the Rise With fewer resale homes available, buyers are looking at new builds to meet their needs. Builders are responding by expanding new construction in Denver’s suburbs, with options that range from entry-level homes to more spacious family-sized properties. Denver saw an increase in available new builds, especially in developing neighborhoods around Lakewood and Thornton, giving buyers more flexibility to choose features and layouts that fit their lifestyle. 2. New Builds Offer Modern Features and Lower Maintenance A big perk of new builds? They’re ready for how we live today. Here’s what to expect: Contemporary Layouts and Energy Efficiency: Many new homes come with energy-efficient appliances, open-concept designs, and smart home systems built right in. This makes it easier to save on utility bills and live sustainably. Worry-Free Maintenance: Everything is brand new, which means minimal maintenance and fewer surprise repairs. Most new builds come with warranties that cover major systems and appliances for a few years, giving you peace of mind. Customized Options: Builders often allow some customization, so you can choose finishes and colors or even make adjustments to layouts, especially if you buy early in the construction phase. 3. Financing Incentives and Opportunities Builders are keen to attract buyers in a high-rate environment, so many are offering financing incentives like rate buydowns or closing cost assistance. With mortgage rates potentially dipping further, this can create an affordable pathway for buyers who might otherwise be priced out. Here’s what to consider: Builder Discounts: Many builders work with preferred lenders who can offer lower rates or reduced fees. Don’t be shy—ask about any financing perks or discounts. Special Loan Programs for New Construction: Construction loans or loans tailored for new builds can offer unique advantages, especially if you’re planning to customize your home or if it’s still in development. 4. Locations Expanding in Denver’s Growing Suburbs New builds are increasingly available in Denver’s suburban areas like Aurora, Thornton, and even Lakewood, where larger lots and family-friendly amenities are more common. If you’re open to a bit of a commute, these areas offer affordable new builds at various price points—from budget-friendly to mid-range, meeting the demand from buyers looking to avoid the resale bidding wars and find more space. 5. What to Know About the New Build Process Buying a new build comes with its own timeline and considerations. Here’s how to stay ahead: Choose an Agent Who Knows New Builds: Working with an agent who understands the ins and outs of new construction can help you navigate builder negotiations, secure incentives, and keep track of the process. Check the Builder’s Reputation: Not all builders are the same. Research their past projects, look at reviews, and talk to other buyers if you can. A reputable builder with a solid track record is essential. Stay Flexible with Timing: New builds aren’t always move-in ready, so be prepared for some variability. Builders may face supply chain issues or construction delays, so having a flexible move-in timeline will help avoid stress. Is a New Build Right for You? With Denver’s tight inventory and rising interest in new construction, a new build could be the best option to avoid the intense competition in the resale market. If you’re looking for a home tailored to today’s lifestyle, with the added bonus of lower maintenance and customization options, a new build might just be the perfect fit.

Read MoreDenver Real Estate This Fall: What Buyers Should Know Before 2025
What’s up, Denver? If you’re thinking about diving into the real estate market this fall, now’s the time to get serious. The market’s shifting, and we’ve got more inventory to choose from, prices leveling off, and interest rates that might (fingers crossed!) drop soon. So, before you let 2025 sneak up on you, here’s what you need to know about buying a home in the Denver area right now. Inventory is Up, and That’s a Good Thing If you’ve been frustrated with slim pickings in the past couple of years, good news: the number of available homes has jumped by more than 50% compared to last year. That means more options, fewer bidding wars, and maybe even the chance to snag a deal. More inventory means buyers have a little more breathing room. Sellers are starting to sweat a bit, which means they’re more willing to negotiate. You might even get them to throw in some perks like covering closing costs or fixing up the place. It’s all about making the right moves, and now’s the time to play smart. Prices Are Leveling Off No one’s saying Denver’s getting cheap—don’t get me wrong—but we’re seeing home prices start to stabilize. Detached homes are sitting around $650,000, give or take. Meanwhile, condos and townhomes have taken a bit of a hit, with prices dropping to about $396,000. The forecast for the end of the year? A 5% price drop. That’s not a massive discount, but if you’ve been holding off, it could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for. Mortgage Rates: A Rollercoaster We Can’t Ignore Let’s talk rates. We’ve all been waiting for mortgage rates to chill out, and while they’re still hovering around 6.5%, there’s hope on the horizon. The Feds are hinting that rates could dip, and if that happens, you better believe more buyers are going to jump in. If you’re in a position to act now, locking in a deal before rates drop might save you from some stiff competition later on. Cautious Buyers, Flexible Sellers Here’s the deal: Buyers are being super cautious right now. They’re watching the market like hawks, only making offers when a house checks all the boxes. On the flip side, sellers know they’ve got to work a little harder to seal the deal. They’re throwing in concessions, which is awesome for you. Things like covering repair costs or knocking a few grand off the price are becoming more common. If you’re a buyer, this is prime time. You’ve got more negotiating power than you would have a year ago, and if you’re ready to make a move, you could land a solid deal. Why Fall 2024 is the Time to Move Here’s the bottom line, man: Fall 2024 is shaping up to be the perfect window for homebuyers in Denver. With more homes on the market, prices finally stabilizing, and the potential for lower interest rates, the stars are aligning for those ready to take action. Don’t sit on the sidelines—if you wait too long, you might miss out on the best deals before 2025 rolls in. Want to dive deeper into the Denver real estate market? Hit me up, and let’s get you on the path to finding your dream home before the market shifts again.
Read MoreAffordability Woes: How to Find Your Dream Home in Colorado’s Tough Market
The Colorado real estate market in 2024? Yeah, it’s a beast, no doubt about it. If you’re a first-time buyer or someone trying to balance soaring home prices with sky-high interest rates, you’re in for a ride. But don’t sweat it—finding your dream home isn’t impossible. You just need to play it smart. Here’s how to tackle the market and come out on top. Understanding the Current Market Landscape Let’s be real—affordability is a huge issue in Colorado right now. With median home prices in places like Denver and Boulder creeping up to the $611,202 mark in Denver and $1,015,000 in Boulder, it’s tough out there. And don’t even get me started on the interest rates. They’ve been a rollercoaster, and while they might stabilize later this year, they’re still not doing anyone any favors when it comes to monthly payments. But hey, it’s not all doom and gloom. The market is cooling a bit, so there’s room to make moves if you know where to look. 1. Expand Your Search Area First thing’s first—broaden your horizons. Denver’s awesome, but it’s expensive as hell. Consider checking out suburban and rural spots like Colorado Springs or Fort Collins. You’ll get more space, a lower price tag, and still be close enough to the action. Plus, with remote work sticking around, you’ve got the freedom to live where you want, not just where you have to. 2. Consider Fixer-Uppers or Older Homes If you’re cool with a little elbow grease, fixer-uppers are where it’s at. Sure, they need work, but you’ll save cash upfront and can customize the place to your liking. It’s a win-win, especially in a market where everyone’s gunning for those turnkey homes. Just make sure you budget for renovations, and don’t skimp on finding good contractors. You don’t want to be stuck with a money pit. 3. Get Pre-Approved and Shop Around for Mortgages Before you even start looking at homes, get pre-approved for a mortgage. This not only tells you what you can actually afford but also makes you look like a serious buyer. And don’t just go with the first mortgage offer—shop around. Even a slight difference in interest rates can save you a ton of money in the long run. If you’re not sure where to start, hit up a mortgage broker to help you out. 4. Take Advantage of First-Time Homebuyer Programs If this is your first rodeo, Colorado’s got your back. There are a ton of programs out there designed to help first-time buyers with down payments, lower interest rates, and more flexible loan terms. The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) is a good place to start. These programs can make a huge difference, so don’t sleep on them. 5. Stay Patient and Flexible Last but not least, patience is key. You might not find your dream home on day one, and you might have to compromise on a few things. But don’t lose hope. With the right strategy and a little bit of flexibility, you’ll find a place that checks most—if not all—of your boxes. And when you do, it’ll be worth the wait. Final Thoughts Yeah, the Colorado real estate market in 2024 is tough, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle. Expand your search, consider those fixer-uppers, and don’t forget about those first-time homebuyer programs. Stay patient, stay informed, and remember—I’ve got your back.

Read MoreHow Affordability and Remote Work Are Changing Where People Live
What's up everyone, Adam Gillespie here. Let’s dive into how affordability and remote work are totally shaking up where people are choosing to live. Move to a More Affordable Area With mortgage rates through the roof and home prices climbing, affording a house is a serious challenge. That’s why a lot of smart buyers are looking at areas where homes are cheaper and the cost of living is lower. As Orphe Divounguy, Senior Economist at Zillow, puts it: “Housing affordability has always mattered . . . and you’re seeing it across the country. Housing affordability is reshaping migration trends.” If you’re in the market for a new home, it might be time to expand your search to places where your money goes further. Extra Space Storage explains: “55% of American adults are looking to relocate to a different state or city for more affordable homes and lower costs of living. States with strong economies, lower living costs, and remote work options are the hot spots in the U.S.” Remote Work Opens Up More Home Options If you're lucky enough to work remotely or only need to commute a few times a week, your home search just got way easier. Remote work means you can look beyond city limits to the suburbs or even rural areas. Market Place Homes points out: “People start to reconsider where they want to live when commute times are slashed in half or eliminated altogether. If they have a longer commute but don’t have to do it daily, they may feel like they can tolerate living farther away from their job. Or, if someone works entirely remotely, they can move to a cheaper area and get a lot of house for their dollar.” How I Can Help You Find Your Perfect Home Navigating these changes can be tricky, and that’s where I come in. As your straight-shooting, no-BS realtor, I can help you find the perfect home for your budget, especially if you’re moving to a new area. Bankrate explains: “If you’re moving far away, you may not have a good idea about which neighborhoods or towns will be the best fit. An experienced local agent can help you find the lifestyle you’re looking for in a home you can afford.” So, if you’re thinking about relocating to a more affordable area, hit me up. With the flexibility of remote work, your options are wider than ever. Bottom Line Dreaming of a place where your money goes further?

Read MoreWhy Waiting for the Perfect Home Can Cost You Big Time
Hey, what's up, everyone? Adam Gillespie here, your no-BS realtor in Denver. Today, I want to talk about something that’s been bugging me – the hunt for the “perfect” home. I get it, we all want that dream house, but let’s get real for a second. Waiting for the perfect home can actually cost you big time. Let’s break it down. As Bankrate puts it, “One of the most common first-time homebuyer mistakes is looking for a home that checks each of your boxes. Looking for perfection can narrow your choices and lead you to pass over good, suitable options for starter homes in the hopes that something better will come along.” The Cost of Holding Out for Perfection Nothing in life is ever perfect – and that’s true when you search for a home too. Unless you’re building a brand-new home from the ground up, chances are there are going to be some features or finishes you wouldn’t have picked yourself. It may be as simple as paint colors, a light fixture, or the tile in the bathrooms or kitchen. Or even that the backyard isn’t fenced in. It could also be that the home itself is great, but it’s not the ideal location you were hoping for. But here’s the trade-off you’d be making without even realizing it. In all that time you’d spend searching for the perfect place, you’d overlook a lot of homes that would’ve worked for you. U.S. News explains: “. . . you may miss opportunities if you enter the process with blinders on and aren’t open-minded . . . Countless potential buyers never buy because of this, and thus miss great investments or never move on to the next chapter of their lives.” Redefine Perfection in Homebuying Especially with affordability and inventory where they are today, buying a home that needs some updates, is a few neighborhoods away from your ideal location, or doesn’t have all your desired features can be a smart move. Here’s why. For starters, these homes are usually more affordable, which is important at a time when some buyers are struggling to find options in their budget. And they give you a chance to make the space your own or discover a whole new area of town. You may find out you actually love that neighborhood. Or, swapping out a feature here or there after move-in isn’t such a big deal. So, look past the green shag carpet and see the bones of the house. With a little vision and creativity, you can turn a good house into a fantastic home. How I Can Help You Find Your Dream Home If you’re open to a home that needs a little elbow grease or is a bit further out, let me know. Here’s how I can help: Prioritizing Your Must-Haves: We'll revisit your wish list and separate your non-negotiables from your nice-to-haves. From there, we’ll focus on what’s really most important to you as we come up with a bigger list of options for you to choose from. Coaching You To See the Potential: As we tour these added options, I’ll help you look beyond cosmetic flaws and imagine what the home could be with a little work. Simple updates like a fresh coat of paint or new flooring can make a big difference. Connecting You with Local Pros: And my support goes one step further. If I know what you’re hoping to change after you move in, I can connect you with local pros who can get the job done. That way it’s less work for you, and you don’t have to worry about tracking down contractors. Bottom Line Remember, there is no perfect home. But with expert help and an open mind, we can find you the right home – even in today’s market. Connect with me to see what’s out there. Let’s find a home that fits your needs and turn it into the perfect one for you.
Read MoreWhy Denver's 2024 Real Estate Market Won't Crash Like 2008
Even if you didn’t own a home back then, you probably remember the 2008 housing crisis. It was rough and left a lot of people scarred, making many folks worry about a repeat. But here’s the good news – things are not the same as they were back then. Business Insider nails it: “Though many Americans believe the housing market is at risk of crashing, the economists who study housing market conditions overwhelmingly do not expect a crash in 2024 or beyond.” So, why are the experts so confident? For a crash to happen, there'd have to be an excess of homes for sale, driving prices down. But that’s not what’s happening today. In fact, we have a shortage, even with the inventory growth this year. The housing supply mainly comes from three places: Homeowners selling their houses (existing homes) New home construction (newly built homes) Distressed properties (foreclosures or short sales) Let’s break down these sources and see why we’re not headed for another 2008. Homeowners Deciding To Sell The supply of existing homes is up from last year, but it’s still low overall. On a national scale, the current months’ supply is below the norm and way below what we saw during the crash. Check out the graph below. Notice the difference? We’ve only got about a third of the inventory available today compared to 2008. This means there just aren’t enough homes out there to drive prices down. For a repeat of 2008, we’d need a flood of homes for sale with few buyers – and that’s not happening now. New Home Construction New homes are a bigger chunk of the total inventory than usual, but don’t worry. Builders aren’t overdoing it. They’re playing catch-up. The graph below shows the number of new homes built over the last 52 years. See that orange spike before the crash? That was overbuilding. The red part shows builders have been underbuilding since then. They’re just trying to fill the gap now. As Bankrate puts it: “What’s more, builders remember the Great Recession all too well, and they’ve been cautious about their pace of construction. The result is an ongoing shortage of homes for sale.” Distressed Properties During the crisis, a lot of homes hit the market through foreclosures and short sales due to poor lending standards. Nowadays, lending standards are tighter, meaning buyers are more qualified and foreclosures are fewer. The graph below illustrates this change. As you can see, foreclosures have significantly decreased. While there’s been a slight uptick recently, it’s still below normal levels. Today’s market isn’t flooded with distressed properties like it was in 2008. What This Means for You The inventory isn’t nearly high enough for a crash. Forbes explains it well: “As already-high home prices continue trending upward, you may be concerned that we’re in a bubble ready to pop. However, the likelihood of a housing market crash—a rapid drop in unsustainably high home prices due to waning demand—remains low for 2024.” Mark Fleming, Chief Economist at First American, highlights the basic principle of supply and demand: “There’s just generally not enough supply. There are more people than housing inventory. It’s Econ 101.” And Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the National Association of Realtors (NAR), confirms: “We will not have a repeat of the 2008–2012 housing market crash. There are no risky subprime mortgages that could implode, nor the combination of a massive oversupply and overproduction of homes.” Bottom Line We’re not headed for another 2008. The market doesn’t have enough homes to spark a crash. Experts and the data agree – a crash isn’t on the horizon. So, if you’re thinking about buying or selling, now’s a great time. Don’t let the ghost of 2008 spook you. The market is in a completely different place today. If you have any questions or need advice, hit me up.

Read MoreHow Long Will It Take To Sell My House?
You Want a Fast Sale—Here's What You Need to Know Alright, let's get real: you want your house sold, and you want it sold fast. But how long is this whole process going to take? To get a solid answer, your best move is to work with a local real estate agent who knows their stuff. Here’s the deal: I know exactly how fast homes are flying off the market in your area and what’s impacting those timelines. I'll set you up with realistic expectations and help you craft a plan that's tailored to today’s market. Here's a quick dive into one of the key factors I’ll walk you through—how the supply of homes for sale affects your timeline. The Growing Supply of Homes for Sale Lately, there’s been an uptick in the number of homes for sale. This is good news for you because it means more options when you’re house hunting. But it also means buyers have more choices, so if your house doesn’t stand out, it might take a bit longer to sell. Available inventory consists of new listings (homes just put on the market) and active listings (homes that have been on the market but haven’t sold yet). Data from Realtor.com shows that much of the recent growth is from these active listings that are lingering. How It’s Impacting Listings Today Think of the housing market like a bakery. Fresh loaves of bread (new listings) are always the hottest items. But if a loaf sits too long, it gets stale, and fewer people want it. The same goes for homes. New listings are the most sought-after. But if a home isn’t priced right, doesn’t show well, or lacks an effective sales strategy, it can sit on the market and become less appealing to buyers over time. I'll Help Your House Stand Out and Sell Quickly Timing is everything. You want this process to move fast. As your agent, I’ll ensure your listing stays fresh and doesn’t sit around long enough to go stale. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR): “Home sellers without an agent are nearly twice as likely to say they didn’t accept an offer for at least three months; 53% of sellers who used an agent say they accepted an offer within a month of listing their home.” I’ll factor the recent inventory growth into my plan and create a customized selling strategy for your house. Since the supply of homes varies by area, I’ll provide insights into your local market, help you price your home correctly, and design a marketing plan that gets your home noticed. Don't let your listing get stale—reach out to me today to make sure your listing is fresh and appealing from the start. It makes a big difference.

Read MoreTop Down Payment Assistance Programs You Need to Know to Buy Your Dream Home
What’s up, Denver? Adam Gillespie here, your no-nonsense, straight-talking realtor from Exp Realty. I know buying a home can be tough, especially with today’s mortgage rates and rising home prices. That’s probably why you’re looking into down payment assistance programs and grants. The problem is, a lot of folks don’t know where to start. Bank of America did a study and found out that a whopping 53% of prospective buyers need help understanding homebuying grant programs. So, let’s break it down and get you the info you need. What Is Down Payment Assistance? According to The Mortgage Reports, “Down payment assistance (DPA) programs offer loans and grants that can cover part or all of a home buyer’s down payment and closing costs. More than 2,000 of these programs are available nationwide. . . DPA programs vary by location, but many home buyers could be in line for thousands of dollars in down payment assistance if they qualify.” Here’s the kicker: You might not need as much for your down payment as you think. Forget that 20% down myth unless your loan type or lender says otherwise. This means you don’t need to save as much upfront, and these programs can make your down payment more achievable. Win-win, right? First-Time and Repeat Buyers Are Often Eligible Good news! These programs aren’t just for first-time buyers. Down Payment Resource notes, “You don’t have to be a first-time buyer. Over 39% of all [homeownership] programs are for repeat homebuyers who have owned a home in the last 3 years.” Whether it’s your first house or your fifth, there could be an option for you. Additional Down Payment Resources That Can Help Here are a few programs helping buyers achieve their homeownership dreams: Teacher Next Door: Helps teachers, first responders, health providers, government employees, active-duty military, and Veterans reach their down payment goals. Fannie Mae: Provides down payment assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers living in majority-Latino communities. Freddie Mac: Offers options for homebuyers with modest credit scores and limited funds for a down payment. 3By30 Program: Lays out strategies to add 3 million new Black homeowners by 2030. Native American Programs: 42 U.S. homebuyer assistance programs across 14 states that help with down payments and other costs. For more info, the best place to start is by contacting a trusted real estate professional. They can give you the lowdown on what’s available, including any other programs designed to serve specific professions or communities. And even if you don’t qualify for these, they can help you explore other federal, state, and local options. Bottom Line Affordability is still a challenge, so if you’re looking to buy, make sure you’re taking advantage of all the resources out there. The best way to find out what’s available is to connect with a team of real estate pros, including a trusted lender and a local agent. Ready to take the next step?

Read MoreDo Elections Impact the Housing Market?
What's up, Denver? Adam Gillespie here, your straight-shooting, no-BS realtor. With the 2024 Presidential election around the corner, I know many of you are wondering how it might affect the housing market. Let’s dive in and break it down. Home Sales Alright, let’s talk home sales. During November of election years, there's usually a slight dip in sales. Ali Wolf, Chief Economist at Zonda, nails it: "Usually, home sales are unchanged compared to a non-election year with the exception being November. In an election year, November is slower than normal." People get a bit jittery making big decisions when there's so much uncertainty in the air. But hey, don't stress. This slowdown is just temporary. Historically, sales bounce back in December and keep rising the following year. Check out this data from HUD and NAR – after 9 of the last 11 Presidential elections, home sales went up the next year: Home Prices Now, let’s hit home prices. Do they tank during election years? Not really. Ryan Lundquist, a solid housing analyst, puts it straight: "An election year doesn’t alter the price trend that is already happening in the market." Home prices are tough and keep rising year-over-year, election or not. The latest NAR data shows that after 7 of the last 8 Presidential elections, home prices went up the next year: The only dip was during the housing crash, and let’s be real, that was a mess. Today’s market is way different. Mortgage Rates Mortgage rates are crucial since they hit your monthly payments. Looking back at the last 11 Presidential election years, Freddie Mac’s data shows rates dropped from July to November in 8 of them: Most forecasts are saying rates will ease a bit for the rest of the year. If they’re on point, we’ll follow the trend of dropping rates before elections. Good news if you’re buying soon – lower rates mean lower payments. What This Means for You So, what's the takeaway? While elections do stir the pot a bit, their impact on the housing market is usually minor and short-lived. Lisa Sturtevant, Chief Economist at Bright MLS, sums it up: "Historically, the housing market doesn’t tend to look very different in presidential election years compared to other years." For most buyers and sellers, elections won’t make or break your plans. Bottom Line It's normal to feel a bit edgy during election years, but history shows the housing market is tough and bounces back. If you’ve got questions, hit me up. I’m here to guide you through the market, election year or not.
Read MoreDon't Believe the Hype: How the Media is Misleading You About Home Prices
What's up, Denver? If you've been checking out the news lately, you've probably seen some headlines about home sellers slashing prices. It's a perfect example of how headlines can terrify more than clarify. So, let's break down what's actually happening with home prices. Here's the real deal: home prices are still higher than they were a year ago and are expected to keep climbing, just at a slower pace. However, a recent article from Redfin mentioned, "Price Drops Hit Highest Level in 18 Months As High Rates Dampen Buyer Demand." That could make you think prices are falling, but that’s not the full story. Sure, Realtor.com reported that 16.6% of homes on the market had price reductions in May, up from 12.7% last May. But that doesn’t mean overall home prices are declining. Understanding Asking Price vs. Sold Price The asking price, or listing price, is what a seller hopes to get for their home. In reality, today's savvy buyers, dealing with higher mortgage rates, aren't willing to pay a premium, forcing sellers to adjust. That's why you see price reductions. But "price drops" in headlines can misleadingly sound like home values are falling. Mike Simonsen, CEO and Founder of Altos Research, says, "Not only is the share of homes with price cuts elevated compared to one year ago, but more price cuts are happening each week than last year." The final sold price is what a buyer actually pays when the deal is closed. And guess what? Sold prices are still rising and expected to keep going up over the next five years. What Does This Mean for Home Prices? So, while there’s an increase in price reductions, it doesn’t mean overall home values are dropping. It’s more about demand moderating and sellers adjusting expectations to today’s market reality. Home values are still growing annually, as they usually do in the housing market. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), home prices went up 6.6% over the last year. This map shows prices rising nearly everywhere in the country, indicating the market isn't in decline. Even with price reductions, it’s more about price moderation than price declines. Redfin also noted, "...those metrics suggest sale-price growth could soften in the coming months as persistently high mortgage rates turn off homebuyers. For now, the median home sale price is up 4.3% year over year to another record high..." With today's tight inventory, price moderation is more likely than price declines. Why This Is Good News for Buyers and Sellers For buyers, more realistic asking prices mean a better chance of getting a home at a fair price. It also means you can enter the market with more confidence, knowing prices are stabilizing rather than skyrocketing. For sellers, adjusting your asking price can lead to faster sales and fewer price negotiations. Setting a realistic price from the start attracts more serious buyers and leads to smoother transactions. Bottom Line While the increase in price reductions might seem concerning, it’s not a cause for alarm. It reflects a market adjusting to new conditions. Home prices continue to grow, just at a more moderate pace. So, if you’re ready to make a move in the Denver real estate market, hit me up.

This gives you a clear picture of your financial landscape and helps identify areas where you can cut back. Cut Down on Unnecessary Spending With your budget in hand, it's time to trim the fat. Look for non-essential expenses—those little luxuries that aren't crucial to your daily life. Redirecting that cash towards your home fund can make a big difference. Even small cuts add up. As the National Association of Realtors (NAR) says: “The majority of first-time buyers did make financial sacrifices to purchase a home. For those who did, the most common sacrifices buyers reported were cutting spending on luxury goods, entertainment, and clothes.” Automate Your Savings Make saving effortless by automating it. Manual transfers can be easy to forget and tempting to skip. Set up automatic transfers to your savings account to ensure consistency and avoid the temptation to spend. Realtor.com explains: “If you’re struggling to put enough money away because of the constant temptations to blow your paycheck, consider automating the process. Ask your employer if you can have your paycheck deposited into multiple accounts—if so, instruct it to send a certain percentage of your salary directly into your savings account. Or go through your bank . . .” Lean into Any Side Hustles You Have Got a side gig? Ramp it up. Part-time work, freelance gigs, or any side hustle can give your savings a solid boost. Every extra dollar helps when you're saving for a home. Put Any Unexpected Cash To Good Use Get a tax refund, bonus, inheritance, or cash gift? Throw it into your house fund. These unexpected windfalls can significantly speed up your savings process. Stay Focused and Consistent By using these strategies and staying focused on your savings goals, you’ll be on the right path to buying your first home. As Ramsey Solutions puts it: “Budgeting shows your money who’s in charge (that’s you). It gives you the power to tell your money where to go instead of having to wonder where it went. It’s how you make any money goals happen—like saving for a down payment.” Bottom Line If you need more strategies for getting ready to buy, connect with me, Adam Gillespie, your local Denver real estate expert.

Read MoreSelling Smart: Why a Real Estate Agent Makes All the Difference
Selling Smart: Why a Real Estate Agent Makes All the Difference By: Adam Gillespie What's up, Denver? Today, we're diving into why teaming up with a real estate agent is the smart move when selling your house. If you're thinking about going the "For Sale by Owner" (FSBO) route, you might want to reconsider. Handling everything on your own can get overwhelming real fast. Let's break down why having an agent on your side is a game-changer. Getting the Price Right One of the biggest headaches in selling a house is setting the right price. If you go solo, you might overprice or underprice your home, and either mistake can make it tough to sell. According to NerdWallet: "When selling a home, first impressions matter. Your house’s market debut is your first chance to attract a buyer and it’s important to get the pricing right. If your home is overpriced, you run the risk of buyers not seeing the listing. But price your house too low and you could end up leaving some serious money on the table. A bargain-basement price could also turn some buyers away, as they may wonder if there are any underlying problems with the house." An agent, like yours truly, knows the local market inside and out. We use our expertise to nail the perfect price, ensuring your house grabs buyers' attention from the get-go. Navigating the Paperwork Selling a house involves a mountain of paperwork and legal documents. If you're not familiar with the process, you could end up making costly mistakes. Real estate agents are pros at handling all the necessary forms, disclosures, and contracts. We make sure everything is accurate and compliant, saving you from potential legal hassles. As First American puts it: "To buy or sell a home you need to accurately complete a lot of forms, disclosures, and legal documents. A real estate agent ensures you cross every ‘t’ and dot every ‘i’ to help you avoid having a transaction fall through and/or prevent a costly mistake." Instead of drowning in paperwork, let an agent guide you through the process, ensuring everything goes smoothly. Bottom Line Selling a house on your own can be a real hassle. Partner with a local real estate agent to handle the nitty-gritty details like pricing and paperwork, and take the stress off your shoulders. Ready to sell smart?

Read MoreJune Real Estate Madness in Denver: How to Win as a Buyer or Seller!
June Real Estate Madness in Denver: How to Win as a Buyer or Seller! By: Adam Gillespie What up! June is here, and it's a hot month for real estate. Whether you're looking to buy or sell, here's the lowdown on what to expect in the Denver Metro Area this month. If You’re Buying This June June is a prime time for homebuyers, especially those with kids wanting to move before the new school year. Expect more buyers in the market, which means competition is heating up. But don’t sweat it—more sellers are also listing their homes now, giving you more options to choose from. Bankrate puts it like this: “Late spring and early summer are the busiest and most competitive time of year for the real estate market. There’s usually more inventory listed for sale than other times of year . . . This is a double-edged sword for a buyer, as you will be met with more opportunities but [also] much more competition.” Navigating this busy season means you need a solid agent on your side. I’m here to keep you updated on the latest listings, guide you through making strong offers, and help you understand the true value of homes so you can make smart decisions. Forbes has it right: “Approaching the market confidently, armed with good information and grounded expectations will take you far. Don’t let the hustle of the market convince you to buy something that’s not in your budget, or not right for your lifestyle.” If You’re Selling This June Denver sellers, this is your time to shine. With an influx of motivated buyers looking to settle before school starts, your well-presented, market-priced home could sell faster and potentially for more money. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) notes: “Warmer weather and the end of the school year encourage more people to buy and sell, respectively. Buyers are looking to move and settle before the new school year begins, contributing to increased competition and, consequently, higher prices.” Make sure you’ve got a top-notch agent to help you sift through offers and handle negotiations. Flexibility with closing dates can be a big advantage, as buyers may need to adjust their timeline to match the school calendar. U.S. News Real Estate explains: “. . . if your house goes under contract in early summer, the buyer may ask for a delay in closing or move-in until the school year finishes or their current home has sold. Alternatively, a buyer later in summer may be looking to close quickly and move in under a month. Remain flexible to keep the deal running smoothly, and your buyer may be willing to throw in concessions, like covering some of your closing costs or overlooking the old roof.” Denver Market Stats for June 2024 As of June 2024, the median home price in the Denver Metro Area is $600,000, marking a 4% increase from last year. Active listings are up by 10%, giving buyers more options. Homes are selling faster, averaging just 25 days on the market, compared to 30 days last year. Bottom Line Looking to make a move in Denver this June? Hit me up, and let’s talk about what you can expect and how to plan for it. With the right strategy and guidance, you'll be well-prepared to navigate this busy season.

Your Ultimate Home Inspection Checklist in Denver, CO Securing a piece of Denver's real estate pie is thrilling, but let's not get ahead of ourselves without a proper shakedown of what you're buying into. This isn't about raining on your parade; it's about making sure that parade marches down the streets of Denver without a hitch. You're about to make one of the biggest investments of your life, and I'm here to ensure you do it with your eyes wide open. This ultimate home inspection checklist is your first line of defense against buying a money pit instead of a dream home. Let's dive in. Foundation and Structure Check for cracks and defects: We're not talking about the charming kind that adds "character" to your home. Significant cracks can be a sign of serious structural issues. Sloping or uneven floors: Might seem quirky at first, but it's a red flag waving at you, signaling potential foundation problems. Roof Age and condition: Roofs have a shelf life. If it's nearing its end, you need to know before you're literally left out in the rain. Signs of leaks or water damage: Look for stains on ceilings or walls that might indicate past or present leaks. Electrical System Outdated wiring: If the property's sporting an ancient electrical system, it's not just inefficient; it's a potential fire hazard. Functional outlets and switches: Bring a small device to test them out. A non-working outlet can be a symptom of a bigger problem. Plumbing Leaks: Check under sinks, around toilets, and anywhere you can access plumbing. Water damage can be a costly affair. Water pressure and hot water: Test all faucets for pressure and ensure the water heater is in good working order. HVAC System Age and functionality: Heating and cooling systems are expensive to replace. Make sure they're in tip-top shape and have been regularly serviced. Windows and Doors Functionality and seals: All windows and doors should open and close smoothly. Drafty windows can spike your energy bills. Attic and Insulation Adequate ventilation and insulation: This can greatly affect your home's energy efficiency and prevent mold growth. Signs of pests or water damage: The attic is a common hideout for critters and leaks. Don't skip this part of the inspection. Exterior Condition of siding or brickwork: Cracks or damage can lead to water infiltration, which is bad news for your home's interior. Landscaping and drainage: Poor drainage can lead to water damage in the basement or foundation. Make sure the land slopes away from the house. Call to Action Don't let the excitement of buying your dream home in Denver cloud your judgment. Use this home inspection checklist to ensure you're making a sound investment.

Read MoreThe Future of Denver Real Estate: A Reflection on Transformation
The Future of Denver Real Estate: A Reflection on Transformation The Spark Behind the Vision Cruising down I-25, with the Denver skyline painting a silhouette against the Rocky Mountains, a thought hit me like a ton of bricks. It was spurred by a blend of recent podcasts, articles, and my daily grind through Denver’s evolving neighborhoods. Each element told a story of change, growth, and adaptation. This wasn't just any story; it was the story of Denver's real estate transformation, a narrative that I've been both a witness to and a participant in. The city’s landscape is shifting, not just physically but in the very essence of what it means to live and thrive in the Mile High City. Embracing Change in Denver’s Real Estate As someone deeply entrenched in Denver's real estate scene, my argument might seem counterintuitive. I believe it's time for us, as a community, to lean into this change, to embrace the new trends and challenges with open arms. Why? Because Denver is on the cusp of a real estate renaissance, one that promises to redefine our living spaces, our communities, and our connection to this beautiful city we call home. Why the Future Looks Bright Consider this: Denver’s shift towards sustainability and smart homes is not just about being trendy; it’s about building a future that’s livable, equitable, and vibrant. The rise of remote work is changing the very fabric of our homes, making them more than just places to eat and sleep, but spaces to grow, learn, and connect. And let’s not forget the communal aspect. Denver’s real estate is increasingly about creating communities that are connected, supportive, and rich in shared experiences. Carving Out Our Path Forward So, what's our move? How do we navigate this evolving landscape? The first step is education and engagement. Understand the trends, sure, but also dive deeper. Engage with your community, talk to experts, and maybe, just maybe, think about how you can contribute to the shaping of Denver’s future. Whether you're considering a remodel to incorporate green technologies or simply looking to understand how your neighborhood is evolving, the key is to be proactive, not reactive. Fifth section: Standing at the Crossroads My reasoning is simple. Change is inevitable, but growth is optional. We stand at a crossroads, with the power to influence how Denver grows and transforms. By embracing the new trends in real estate, we’re not just investing in property; we’re investing in a future that’s sustainable, connected, and reflective of our values as a community. A Journey Through Denver’s Heart Remember that drive down I-25? It was more than just a commute; it was a journey through the heart of Denver’s transformation. The job market, the economy, the very pulse of the city is vibrant and alive with potential. There’s never been a better time to engage with Denver’s real estate market, to be part of the change, and to help shape the future of this city we love. As we ride this wave of change, let’s not lose sight of what makes Denver, Denver. It’s the community, the spirit, and the relentless drive towards a brighter future. If you’re ready to be part of this transformation or just want to chat about Denver's real estate dynamics, reach out. Let’s explore together how we can turn today’s trends into tomorrow’s reality.
