October set a new record low for housing inventory in metro-Denver for the month of October with 6,312 listings, down 16.79 percent from the month prior and 6.22 percent from last year. Contributing factors to the low inventory included fewer new listings coming to the market, down 3.06 percent from last year, and the number of homes sold increased by a healthy 9.75 percent month over month.

“The inventory number was a little scary in October and it was not what we were hoping to see,” said Steve Danyliw, Chairman of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and Denver REALTOR®. “In addition to fewer listings coming to the market, low housing inventory was also due to the surprising treat of higher-than-expected homes under contract. As we tend to see normal…

The Aspiring Home Buyers Profile from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) found that the American public is still somewhat confused about what is required to qualify for a home mortgage loan in today’s housing market. The results of the survey show that non-homeowners cite the main reason for not currently owning a home, as not being able to afford one.

This brings us to two major misconceptions that we want to address today.

1. Down Payment

NAR’s survey revealed that consumers overestimate the down payment funds needed to qualify for a home loan. According to the report, 39% of non-homeowners say they believe they need more than 20% for a down payment on a home purchase. In actuality, there are many loans written with a down payment of 3%…

What should we do with all of those leaves once they’ve fallen? There are plenty of ways to put them to good use so they aren’t just dumped into a garbage bag and sent to the landfill.

Don't rake them, mow them.
One of the easiest ways to deal with leaves on your lawn is to put them to work feeding the soil.  A thick layer of leaves can pack down and smother your grass.  Before they’re weighed down and soggy with snow, just mow the leaves! Even if it takes a couple of passes with the mower, well-shredded leaves are a great way and an easy way to feed the microorganisms that feed your soil that feeds your grass.

Put the leaves to work on your garden beds.
Fully-decomposed compost can be added in the spring, but materials that haven’t decomposed, like our…

To keep your house in tiptop condition, consider making these updates every 10 years or so.

1) Get new carpet

The average medium-grade carpet has a life expectancy of approximately 10 years.  Signs that you need to replace your carpet: rips, tears or stains, and odors that remain even after a good cleaning. And even without any of those, you carpet might just look old and worn out.

2) Replace hot water tank
A water heater may not show many symptoms before it leaks or fails, so it’s important to know its age. If the manufacture date isn't shown, then it may be embedded in the serial number on the tank. A good rule of thumb: Any tank that’s been around for 10 years or more is a candidate for replacement.

3) Update ceiling fans

Moving forces you to go through each and every thing you own. Sometimes nostalgia plays more of a role than practicality, but here are some things you can think about when deciding what to toss and what to box up.

Despite any pain it may cause you, it's important to get rid of anything you truly don't need. Not only will it help you avoid clutter, but it can actually make it easier and cheaper to move.

If you are upsizing, you probably have more room for clutter. Taking into consideration the garage size, and overall storage space in the house will help you determine what you can take with you. If you are downsizing, you know you will have to do some cleaning out, and this is a good opportunity to start fresh in your new space.
