What is going in the Market this week!

Currently in the Cripple-Creek Victor district we are seeing an influx of buyers with not enough homes for them to purchase. This is a recent swing of the pendulum of supply and demand. Many of the buyers fall into two categories. The first are employed in the area and looking for a closer commute to work. The second are folks looking for a summer or retirement home or property.

Recently I have seen an influx of land buyers coming in looking for land that is not in an HOA. Which can lead to some other issues. The lots for sale in the HOA are cheaper pre-acre than lots that are not. The price difference is about $3,000-$5,000 dollars difference. One benefit of the land in an HOA you almost always have no access issues. With land that is not in the HOA you will find some of the cheaper lots are priced that way for a reason, no access. It can be a trick to find land that is not restricted by covenants and has the legal access you are looking for.

Are you looking to buy or sell? If so give me call today!

That is one less thing they must worry about when looking for a home. The house or property with the least amount of work that needs to be done is the winner 9 times out of 10. Unless it is an investor or a house flipper. Second, declutter is a must. Now while you are packing to move yourself you will ...

Making the Most of a Modest Space

While some people who are selling their home think a small kitchen is a negative, there are several ways that you can make it stand out and appeal to potential buyers: Light it up. Darkness can often make smaller rooms feel even more cramped. To open the room up to more light, consider removing all curtains from windows and instead install recessed blinds. You still get the privacy factor, while also allowing your kitchen to have a brighter feel. Keep the counters tidy. Many people have things strewn about their kitchen counters and cabinets. Think about keeping your counter tops clear of all items, including photos, papers and even appliances, to make it seem like the room is larger than it truly is. Brighten the walls. Sellers should consider making the tone of the wall color in the kitchen brighter. Lighter colors tend to open up a room. They are also much more inviting, enticing potential buyers.
