This is it...the home stretch of 2017.

We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly as we've made our way through thousands of homes with potential homebuyers this year. And, one thing we always notice, is that the homes that feel the happiest (and worth the most money) are the one that are mostly clutter-free. We aren't always talking about professionally staged homes (though we love those, too) but even homes that are lived in, and obviously well-loved.

So, this is our one resolution for you, whether you are renting or living in a property that you own. Whether you live in a big house in the Denver suburbs, or a micro-condo in the city. Whether you have 10 kids, 2 dogs, 10 houseplants or none of the above...sticking to this ONE New Year's Resolution will…

The new year is nearly upon us and, if you haven’t already, it’s time to start thinking about how to usher in 2018 (and kiss 2017 goodbye). Whether you keep it family-friendly, spend the night out on the town, or do a little of both—there are a host of festivities in the Mile High City.

In addition to the annual downtown fireworks and one of the country’s largest New Year’s Eve dance parties, we’ve rounded up a few other ways to ring in the new year:

  • The Fed is expected to raise interest rates three more times in 2018
  • Mortgage rates in 2018 could look like 2017’s rates with perhaps less volatility
  • Potential homebuyers hoping to secure a low rate without any uncertainty should act now

As we look forward to the new year and where interest rates may be headed, it’s important to remember that each of the last few years were billed as the year rates were finally going to soar higher.

In reality, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note ended at 2.17%, 2.27% and 2.44% in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. This year looks set to finish in similar fashion, with the 10-year currently yielding 2.46%, up just two basis points from the previous year. That’s a far cry from the forecasts…

In DHA(Denver Housing Authority) redevelopments, modern design elements harbor sleek, mixed-income villages, resulting in public housing that's affordable and forward-thinking.

And they are driven by one basic question: “How do we further expand the pathways for individuals who have yet to benefit from Denver’s growth and prosperity?,” asks Ismael Guerrero, DHA’s executive director.

For DHA, the answer has been to rethink what’s possible with low-income developments, and that has been a big job for a…

We have had MANY clients, friends and associates reach out with questions over the last few days regarding the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. While of course this action will impact Americans in many ways, we thought it would be helpful to provide a guide on the implications that it might have for both home and property owners.

In Summary:

The National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) worked throughout the tax reform process to preserve the existing tax benefits of homeownership and real estate investment, as well to ensure as many real estate professionals as possible would benefit from proposed tax cuts. Many of the changes reflected in the final bill were the result of the engagement of NAR and its members, not only in the last three months, but over several…

There is a lot of mixed messaging going around involving the tax overhaul bills that have been passed recently. It's important to remember that nothing is yet law, but there are some factors which might directly impact you as a Colorado homeowner or future homeowner.

First, here's a refresher on how a Bill becomes a Law from our friends at Schoolhouse Rock:



Here is a status report and breakdown by Lawrence Yun from NAR that helps to clarify where we are as of now, and what might happen:

Both chambers of Congress have passed tax overhaul bills. There are still opportunities to make the final legislation better for homeowners. Let’s examine three key areas:

  • There is a difference between the House and Senate versions on the maximum mortgage amount…
