Geez I appreciate my clients!

I appreciate my clients; my sellers, my buyers. I will work hard for them to accomplish their goals. I have worked with many more buyers than sellers. That’s fine for me. Buying a home is fun. Viewing all the homes available; helping them find the right lender, the right loan; finding the “one.” The one home they fall in love with.

All for “free” to the buyer; and I clearly explain how that works; the excitement when we find just the right match.

Helping sellers; helping them price their home, helping them prepare their home, helping them achieve their goals; helping them with better service and a lower price. I will not participate in formal or informal anti trust practices or advocate them.

I do not disrespect sellers for finding the best value. The most services for the least money. I respect this.

Helping both buyers and sellers with knowledge, skills, abilities and experience. And knowing I depend upon them to support my family, put the food on the table and earn my keep.

I understand they don’t depend upon me to earn their livings. I appreciate my clients.

Thank you. I hope I provide the value to you, that you deserve. That is my goal.

Thinking about selling or buying in the Park Hill neighborhoods?

Here's some information for you.

(The following statistical information compiled from information provided by Metrolist MLS and applies to detached single family homes.)

The neighborhoods have averaged approximately 16 sales per month over the last 6 months. There are approximately 101 homes on the markets. Using these figures the absorption rate is approximately 15.8% and the “months of inventory” is about 6.3. This indicates to me a market slightly favoring buyers. The “median days on market” also consistent to this indication.

The homes in the Park Hill neighborhoods were built ranging from the late 1800’s to the 2000’s. Many home buyers favoring older homes like the area for the selection of the unique homes. Some of the older homes have little refurbishment, others have been totally remodeled.

2011 Homes Sold

There have been 21 homes sold (detached single family) so far in 2011 (Jan 1 – Feb 25) according to information provided by Metrolist MLS.

Of these solds, the year of construction of the homes ranged from 1908 to 2002. The median sold price was $337,000.

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reports market conditions for metropolitan areas. In the latest report, NAR reports an increase in median sold prices for the Denver-Aurora (Colorado) area of 3%. (4th Qtr 2009 sold prices to 4th Qtr 2010 sold prices.)

Of course, NAR reports information accurately based upon information it has, and there is no intent of deception. However, if one was to break down the median sold price increase/decrease by neighborhoods within the metropolitan area, one would find that some neighborhood median prices increased and others decreased. By breaking the information of the comparison of median sold prices to more specific area one would get more specific indicators for a specific neighborhood.

One advantage we have here at Your Castle Real Estate is that the company owner, Lon Welsh, provides to his agents a map of the metropolitan area, breaking down the median price increases/decreases to specific neighborhood areas. Some neighborhoods have seen median price decreases and others significant increases.

This information also includes “months of inventory” related to absorption rate for specific areas. Some areas are up and others are down using this indicator. Whether an investor purchaser or buyer occupied home buyer this information would be valuable to consider with all the other information. Of course, when selecting a buyer or listing agent it is wise to consider the knowledge and information the agent can provide.

Your Castle Real Estate prides itself on Local Knowledge – Total Commitment.
