Its a Great Time to Sell!

Home sales are exploding in the Denver area but a lack of inventory is becoming a challenge for buyers and agents alike. The number of homes for sale in Denver is down 2.5 percent from July 2012, and down 30 percent from last year.

Waiting for the Right Time to Sell your Home?

This just might be it! Home values are increasing, as well, in the Denver area. The Denver housing market is in better shape than the nation, in general. Denver home values increased 2.3 percent in the second quarter of 2012. According to Zillow, median home values in Denver are at $211,300, up from the first quarter of this year and up 3.5 percent, year over year. Zillow is forecasting Denver home values will increase by 1.6 percent over the next year.

Good Condition, Well Priced Homes are in Demand

Good condition homes have been "dressed up in their Sunday Best". If you want your home to sell quickly you need to show its best outside and inside. Buyers WILL judge your home by the outside, and might not take the time to see inside.

Stage your home to make it appealing to buyers. De-clutter, make sure it's clean and "flows" well. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades to modernize it.

Price it Right: The biggest obstacle to closing the deal is an unrealistic price. Even if the seller agrees to pay your price, the appraisal is what matters. If it doesn't appraise, it will not close.
