Hosted by a new service called iRealty, both my Property Search and iPhone App utilize data directly from the multiple listing service (MLS), so that you will be reviewing complete, real-time, property information during all of your searches. Some of the many features provided in my Website and App include:

  • GPS-based property searches from your iPhone
  • Interactive mapping to view properties for sale in surrounding neighborhoods
  • Create, maintain and share your Favorites Folder
  • Request Showings
  • Review Open House date and times
  • View comparable Sold Homes
  • Unlisted Home Value Estimates
  • Share individual listings with your Friends and Family
  • View my Featured Properties
  • And much more . . .

The property search can be found at: http://bloghomedenver.com/home-search/.

The iPhone Application is a free download waiting for you in the iTunes Store under the name “iRealty”. Upon opening the App for the first time you will be prompted to enter my AGENT ID which is: gethomedenver.

I am very excited about this new technology and am confident that you will find these tools to be an incredible resource during your home search and discovery process. I have not forgotten about those of you using a Blackberry and will be launching a mobile App for you soon as well.

Please contact me with any questions, as I would be happy to elaborate on the functionality and capabilities of the Website and App.

The Mile High Capital

The Colorado State Capital bears a strong resemblance to our nation’s capitol, including famous street names such as Pennsylvania and Lincoln Avenue. The building was built in the 1890’s and is composed of Colorado white granite. In 1908 the dome was plated in 24 karat gold.

The interior features magnificent brass and stained glass. The dome towers 180 feet above, and contains stained glass dedicated to the 16 initial founders of the city of Denver.

A round brass survey marker embedded in the west entrance stairway declares why Denver is known as the Mile High City.

Elevation: 5280 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL

The Colorado State Capitol is open to the public Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The Glass is Really Half Full

The Denver area real estate market ranked number 3 in the latest (November 2009) S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price report. The report tracks 20 metropolitan areas and ranks them based on real estate price performance.

The Denver area showed a 0.5% increase, and ranked 3rd, trailing only Dallas (+1.4%) and San Francisco (+1.0%.) The only other city showing a positive number was San Diego +0.4%.) In October 2009, Denver was rated the #1 market overall with a .1% loss. This is very positive news for the area, and for real estate nationwide!

I believe the reason for the improvement was the urgency caused by the end of the first time homebuyer credit. Since then, we know the tax credit has been extended to April 30th of this year, so the increase should continue through the first quarter of the year. The first time buyer market, those home priced under $250k, has firmed up tremendously and I am seeing a continuation of that.

Overall, the 20 markets in the index dropped 5.3%.

Stay tuned!
