An article from The Denver Post, reports that a few years ago, Martha Stewart teamed up with KB Home to design a line of homes modeled after her own residences. Last year, they brought the concept to Stapleton. According to MetroStudies, year-to-date sales at KB Home Martha Stewart are 38% higher than the 11 other builders in the Stapleton master plan. Since launching KB Home Stapleton: Homes Created With Martha Stewart, KB has sold 43 homes and will deliver 35 of them this year. Mike Rinner, a housing analyst at the Genesis Group in Arapahoe County said, "It's a unique product she lends her name to. If they built the same houses without the Martha Stewart touch and had standard finishes and decor without the additional stuff, it would not be as nice a home. It would not have the same cachet and appeal."

An article from the Denver Business Journal, reports that according to the company and those monitoring the project’s progress, developer Forest City Enterprises Inc. is on track as they are nearly halfway through the expected 15-year redevelopment of Denver’s former main airport, Stapleton International. Dick Anderson, former CEO of the Stapleton Development Corp., said a variety of for-sale housing, despite metro Denver’s soft housing market of recent years, continues to be built at Stapleton, and industrial and retail development has been relatively strong. The 4,700-acre Stapleton project currently includes 3,200 single-family houses, rowhomes, condominiums and other for-sale housing as well as 400 apartments. Commercial real estate already built includes the 740,000-square-foot Quebec Square and 1.2 million-square-foot Northfield Stapleton outdoor shopping centers; the multiple-block East 29th Street Town Center with shops, offices and restaurants; and roughly 200,000 square feet of office space.

With a the new housing going up in Stapleton we know people are buying Real Estate, but how is the re-sale market doing? According to information from the local MLS, in the last 30 days detached and attached homes are doing well. Records show 26 residential homes sold in the last 30 days at an average sales price of $487,854. That is an average of $219 per square foot. Townhomes, condos and attached homes are explosive. Average sales price for the last 30 days is $341,770 and 66 sold! Wow! The value is strong at $218 per square foot. With the active lifestyle, town center, parks and commuter convienence this neighborhood has to offer, consideration should be made towards positive when shopping for a home here!

I've had several clients interested in the Stapleton area of Denver. All of the builders have done a really great job of urban planning and building to preserve a real sense of community. Last Sunday (3/31/08) I had a chance to take a look at some the KB Homes by Martha Stewart. These really look nice and my clients have really had good luck with this builder. I snapped some pictures for anyone interested in how they look inside and out. Base prices right now are between 319k and 379k with most buyers planning approx. 20% additional for upgrades. If you want a tour, give me a call.
