Foreign investments in U.S. real estate have surged nearly 50 percent as of late.

The 2017 Profile of International Activity in U.S. Residential Real Estate from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) shows that between April 2016 and March 2017, foreign buyers and recent immigrants purchased over $150 billion in residential property. Marking a new survey high, this boost is a 49 percent increase from last year’s $102.6 billion rank.

For a growing number of families in metro Denver, buying a new home is slipping out of reach. But more buyers and builders are pursuing townhomes as a way to keep costs attainable.

“Demand remains very strong for housing, but the supply remains constrained. It continues to push prices higher,” said John Covert, director of Metrostudy’s Colorado region. “That’s one of the reasons why more attached product is getting built.”

Unlike detached homes, which stand alone, attached homes share walls. The category includes condominiums, townhomes, duplexes and paired homes. Because more units can be put on the same amount of land, attached homes usually are more economical to build.

Nearly three in 10 of the new homes hitting the market are attached, up…

Custom Modern Farmhouses Provide Respect + Comfort in the Greater Denver Area

As Denver's vintage city and suburban neighborhoods continue to evolve, and also struggle with low available housing inventory, many homebuyers are opting to build custom homes. From very modern + clean lines to more traditional-looking bungalows, there is one trend that seems to be here to stay:  Modern Farmhouses fit in with existing homes, have fantastic curb appeal, and their open floor-plans provide all of the usability and aesthetic appeal that today's buyers are craving.

This example was constructed near the University of Denver by Taylor'd Urban Properties, and was represented by West + Main Realtor Doug Sutton.
