Selling your home in Denver Metro Area?
After studying the market trends a very exciting statistic is starting to happen! The market is turning! If you are considering selling your home this is the time to get it listed NOW for these reasons:
1. There is an ALL TIME RECORD LOW amount of inventory currently on the market. This is a HUGE advantage to sellers that are serious and ready to go! The buyers are there but not all are able to find what they are looking for.
2. A lot of sellers are "waiting" to get there home on the market for the Spring time. If you are one of these people consider this, what will happen when your home has more competition? Will your home be able to profit on the highest dollar when your neighbors home may have more upgrades than yours? Or do you want to take advantage NOW and be ahead of the curve?
3. There are many homes that are receiving multiple offers due to pricing strategy and low inventory. This creates an opportunity for the seller with an advantage of having your home on the market for a shorter amount of time and more money in your pocket.
4. Interest rates have remained at an all time low. This creates buyers and sellers with the opportunity to afford more home and therefore are looking more aggressively so that the window of opportunity isn't missed! This creates a WIN-WIN for everyone.
5. The state of Colorado has had an increase in jobs making this a more attractive state to live. The numbers of relocated people and families are increasing, creating even more buyers for your home!

Buying a house
There are lots of questions on how to get started to look for a home. Many people look by surfing on the web for available properties when starting out on this quest. Some may go to open houses or pull information from houses as they drive by. Whichever way you choose to start your exciting process to look for a home, there are a few critical steps that need to be addressed, which will help you reach your ultimate goal of owning a home!
When deciding if it is the right time to buy a home, you should first talk to a lender to find out what price range you should be looking in. The reason it is so important to do this is because you don't want to set unrealistic expectations when looking at different properties. You could get your heart set on a property only to find out you don't qualify for that particular price range.
Some people think that it is more of a help to have a few agents working for them to find homes. This can be a pitfall. It is very important to make sure your agent is working in your best interest! It is also important to know that as a Realtor, your clients are up front and honest about the home buying process with you. In order to find the best home available on the market at the perfect price, honesty needs to be part of your transaction. Once you find a Realtor that works for you, they will be there to guide you through the steps of the home buying process.

Tax Credit Update
There have been many questions surrounding the home buyer tax credit.
1. Is it going to be extended?
2. What if I have owned a property before. Do I qualify?
3. How much is it?
I was happy to see that they not only extended this tax credit for first time home buyers but also added another credit for "move up" home buyers. To put it simply, a first time home buyer may receive up to $8,000. A first time home buyer would be someone who has never owned a property before or someone who has not owned property in the past 3 years. The "move up" buyer must have owned a home for at least 5 years consecutively while residing in this residence in order to receive up to a $6,500 tax credit.
All homes must be closed by July 1, 2010. This is an excellent opportunity to put your current home on the market and move up to your dream home! It is also the perfect time for buyers to get out there and jump into the real estate game! With interest rates so low and more inventory coming on the market, the real estate opportunities are endless.
