Metro Denver Real Estate News

So, The Good News Keeps on Coming

This article comes courtesy of the Denver Post and is written by Joe Richter of Bloomberg News -

Home resales continue slump
Purchases at slowest pace since Nov. '02

Washington - Sales of existing homes in the U.S. fell more than forecast last month, a sign that residential real estate remains mired in its worst recession in 16 years.

Purchases declined 3.8 percent to an annual rate of 5.75 million, the slowest pace since November 2002, from a revised 5.98 million in May, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday. At the same time, the supply of homes for sale dropped for the first time this year and the median price rose for the first time in 11 months.

The housing slump, which slowed economic growth in the first quarter to the lowest level since 2002, is the biggest risk to the six-year economic expansion, according to Federal Reserve policymakers.

"There's no evidence we've hit bottom yet," said James O'Sullivan, senior economist at UBS Securities LLC in Stamford, Conn., who correctly forecast the drop in sales.

While "the inventory numbers are encouraging," he added, "I wouldn't celebrate yet."

Resales were projected to fall 2.1 percent to a 5.86 million annual rate from a previously reported 5.99 million in May, according to the median estimate of 73 economists in a Bloomberg News survey.

The market "is bumping along the bottom," Wachovia Corp. chief economist John Silvia said.

 

All this negative news and yet the housing market is still chugging along.  I can tell you that the housing market is not as strong as it once was, but there are still a bunch of buyers out there.  For example, I am working with some buyers and we found a home that was priced very well.  We determined that it was a good buy and made an offer, only to find out that we were 1 of 15 offers on the same home.   My point is that there are still buyers out there - people just can't be to aggressive with their pricing right now because the buyers are waiting for the seller's to come to them  And, they will wait.

6 Ways to Quickly Boost Credit Scores

This article comes courtesy of Realtor.org  -

As lenders tighten their underwriting guidelines, borrowers are wise to raise their credit scores to qualify for loans, secure better loan terms, and receive lower interest rates.

"Individuals can positively affect their credit scores in as little as three weeks," says Edward Jamison, a Los Angeles-based credit attorney. "It's just a matter of getting educated and focused on the best, fastest, and most reliable course of action."

Jamison, who you may know as a credit expert on the NBC show, “Starting Over,” offers these six tips for improving credit strength quickly.

1. Know your limits. Borrowers should first check their credit limits and evenly distribute the balances they're carrying to help increase their credit scores, or better yet, pay them off in full to get the highest score increase. "Make sure your maximum limit is reported," Jamison says. "When no limit is reported, credit scoring software presumes the account is maxed out."

2. Bring the balances near zero. The credit scoring software scores more favorably to those with a closer balance to zero. Balances over 70 percent damage credit the most, followed by the next tier of 50 percent and then 30 percent of the maximum credit limit. "Rather than carrying a large balance in an unfavorable tier, redistribute outstanding balances over several credit cards," advises Jamison.

3. Don’t cancel your cards. "Closing credit card accounts can hurt your score unless the accounts were opened less than two years ago, and you have over six credit cards," Jamison says. Fair Isaac's credit scoring software assumes that people who have had credit for a longer time are at less risk of defaulting on payments.

4. Eliminate late payments (but ask nice). Get rid of late payments listed on the credit report. "Contact the creditors that report late payments and request a good faith adjustment that removes the late payments reported on your account," Jamison says. The creditor may work with you, but it may require more than one phone call; patience is required. Your odds of success will dwindle if you're rude or unclear about your request, he adds.

5. Get rid of collection accounts. But only if the collection agency agrees to delete them in return. Paying them off can otherwise actually lead to a decreased credit score due to the date of last activity getting updated to the current date when you pay. The consumer should contact the collector and request a letter explicitly stating the agreement to delete the account upon receipt or clearance of the payment, Jamison says. Not all collection agencies will delete reporting, but it's certainly worth the effort.

6. Pay off past due amounts on accounts that are not in charge-off status. After that, Jamison advises getting rid of charge-offs and liens that are less than two years old. "Charge-offs and liens that are older than 24 months do not affect your credit score nearly as much as ones under 24 months," says Jamison. "But if they're newer than 24 months, they can seriously damage your credit." If you have both charge-offs and collection accounts, but have limited funds, pay off the past due balances first, then pay collection accounts as long as the collectors agree to remove all references to credit bureaus.

Effective Incentives to Woo Buyers and Sell your Home

After reading this article, I agree with just about everything said.  Where I do differ is in the Multi-million dollar sales - a nice Mercedes or BMW in the garage is quite a tempting carrot.

This article comes from Amy Hoak w/ Marketwatch -   

Flashy incentives like a new car parked in the driveway or a flat-panel television hanging in the den might sound like a good way for home sellers to woo buyers in a dismal real-estate market. But when it comes to actually enticing someone to buy a home, it's the more practical perks that count, real-estate professionals say.

"Serious buyers are looking for a place to buy a home, not a trip to Tahiti," says Dave Ledebuhr, owner of Musselman Realty in East Lansing, Mich. Moreover, lenders are leery of gimmicky incentives, fearing that they're built into the price of the home and that loan dollars are being used to pay for that tropical trip, he adds.

Instead, effective incentives address what's on the minds of potential buyers -- the overall cost of the home and the monthly payments they'll have to manage, he says.

Triple Bypass – Champions for Children Cycling Team

   

I am writing this post to ask for your support in an important undertaking. I am riding the Triple Bypass on July 14^th to help raise funds for the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center, an extraordinary nonprofit organization that saves the lives of Colorado's abused and neglected children by ensuring that each child rescued from the brutality of child abuse is safe and offered a loving, healthy alternative.

My cousin is heading up this fund-raising effort, so I know it is a worthwhile cause. I also know that you probably receive a bunch of charitable requests throughout the year, as do I, but please take a moment and see what kind of work they do at the Children's Law Center. They have been around for 25 years - to read their Mission Statement - http://www.rockymountainchildrenslawcenter.org/about.html . Or, read about some of the children that they have helped - http://www.rockymountainchildrenslawcenter.org/about_clients.html

   

Many consider the Triple Bypass to be the most difficult single-day ride in North America. It takes cyclists 120 miles, 10,000 vertical feet and over Squaw, Loveland and Vail passes. Basically, we start in Evergreen in the morning and hope to be in Avon/Vail by nightfall, or at least, that is my hope. I started riding/training about 1 year ago after getting an offer from friends to go over to Girona, Spain and spend a week of riding throughout the countryside and the Pyrenees Mountains. I ended up enjoying riding so much that I just could not pass up this opportunity, and also the ability to help out a great cause.

This is the 2nd-annual Champions for Children Cycling Team. We're 40 cyclists strong and hoping to raise more than $100,000 for the Children's Law Center.

Please help us help the kids who need it most by making a tax-deductible donation today. Just visit http://cfccycling.com/cyclistsinfo.cfm?cyclistid=104 or mail a check made out to Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center with "Sean Reilly" in the memo line to:

Thank you so much for your support,

Fed Leaves Key Interest Rate Untouched

This article comes courtesy of USA Today - Barbara Hagen Baugh (06/29/07):

Federal Reserve policymakers voted unanimously last week to leave the key short-term interest rate at 5.25 percent, which is the highest in 6 ½ years, but unchanged since June 2006.

In the post-meeting statement, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the economy is expected to continue to grow at a moderate pace during the rest of the year. He suggested that growth isn’t strong enough to warrant a rate increase to slow it.

"Some market participants may have been holding out for a signal that (the Fed) will cut rates, and they didn't get that," says chief economist Scott Brown of Raymond James & Associates. He says he expects the Fed to leave rates unchanged for the rest of 2007, but isn't sure where rates will be headed after that. "The next move is as likely to be higher as it is to be lower."

This short-term interest rate drives mortgage and other sorts of consumer loan rates.

Daylight Savings - Is Your Computer Ready?

Beginning in 2007, daylight saving time (DST) will be extended in the United States. DST will start on March 11, 2007, which is three weeks earlier than usual, and it will end on November 4, 2007, which is one week later than usual. This results in a new DST period that is four weeks longer than in previous years. Unless certain updates are applied to your computer, the time zone settings for your computer's system clock may be incorrect during this four-week period. In particular, you must make sure that both your Windows operating system and your calendar programs are updated.

Click the link below to be directed to Microsoft's Help Center:

Now is also a great time to replace all of the batteries in your smoke detectors, or at least check to see that they are all working.  Enjoy the extra daylight.

Pending Home Sales Cool in January

This article comes courtesy of the National Association of Realtors - www.realtor.org

Pending home sales declined 4.1 percent in January following a strong upturn in December because of unfavorable weather patterns, according to the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®.

The Pending Home Sales Index, a leading indicator for the housing sector based on contracts signed in January, fell to an index of 108.7 from an upwardly revised reading of 112.3 in December, and is 8.9 percent lower than January 2006.

Aside from December, which got a lift from mild weather, the January index was the highest since last August. More There has been a narrowing trend from year-ago levels since last July when the index was 14.7 percent lower than a year earlier.

“We’re seeing temporary near-term weather disruptions in much of the country, but there is an underlying pattern of stabilization in the housing market,” says David Lereah, NAR’s chief economist. “As a result of these weather disruptions, it may take a couple months for the picture to fully clarify, but a modest recovery is likely.”

As reported last month, the PHSI for December got a boost from mild weather and showed the largest monthly gain in nearly three years. December’s index rose 4.5 percent, the largest increase since a 6.1 percent jump in March 2004.

November 2006 Metro Denver Monthly Real Estate Update

The numbers used here are compiled by myself using the Metro Denver MLS system.  This is for November 2006.

Download november_monthly_mailer_2006.pdf

Click the above link to view the November 2006 Residential Sales, 2006 Year to Date Residential Sales, and Year End 2005 Residential Real Estate Sales.

Download november_monthly_mailer_2005.pdf

To Compare Statistics from November 2005, click the link above .

Adams County - It looks as though Adams County is on pace to sell as many homes as it did last year - it may fall a little short of the 5,811 homes sold in 2005, but it should be close.  The biggest thing that I notice here is that the Average Sold Price for the County has dropped almost $11,000 from 2005 and the Days on the Market has increased to 106 adding about 2 extra weeks to getting your home sold from 2005.

Compared to what happened in Adams County in November 2005, the number of sales in 2006 dropped by 82, the Average Sales Price dropped $10,164 and the Days on Market increased by 21 Days. 

Arapahoe County - It looks as though Arapahoe County is going to have about 500 fewer homes sales in 2006 than it had in 2005.  Overall, though, the Average Home Sale Price dropped only about $3,000 from 2005 and Days on Market increased 12 Days.

Compared to 2005, the # of Home Sales in Arapahoe County dropped by 54 in 2006.  The Average Sales Price in November 2005 was $20,782 higher than 2006 and Days on Market in 2005 were 21 fewer than 2006.

Denver County - Denver County also looks to fall a little short of it's 2005 mark of 8,689 homes sold - possibly by 200-300 or so.  The Average Home Price sale is actually up in Denver County by about $10,000 over 2005.  The Days on Market has also seen an increase in 2006 by 15 days over 2005.

Compared to November 2005, the total # of home sales decreased in 2006 by about 150.   The Average Sold Price, however, in 2006 outpaced 2005 by $35,000.  The Average Days on the Market in 2006 was higher than '05 by 13 Days.

Douglas County - Douglas County also looks to fall a little short of it's 2005 # of home sales by about 500 total home sales.  On a brighter note, the Average Home Sale Price is about $26,000 over 2005.  Average Days on the Market has also increased in 2006 by about 2 weeks.

Compared to this time last year, there were about 140 less home sales in 2006 than 2005.  2006 did see a $29,000 increase in Average Sales Price over 2005.  Days on the Market also ran higher in 2006 by about 30 days.

Elbert County - It looks like the total # of homes sold in this county will lag 2005 by about 100.  The Average Home Sales Price in 2006, however, was markedly higher by $45,000.  Days on the Market also increased in 2006 by 28 days over 2005.

In November 2005, there were 5 more sales than 2006.  Average Home Sales Price in 2006 was $35,000 over 2005.  And, the Average Days on the Market in 2006 doubled the 2005 number from 83 to 166.

Jefferson County - It looks like the total # of Sales in 2006 will lag 2005 by about 800.  The Average Sales Price in 2006 is about $10,000 higher than 2005.  Average Days on the Market were also up in 2006 by 12 days over 2005.

November 2005 total home sales were 143 higher than 2006.  The Average Homes Sales Price in November 2006 was about $13,000 higher than 2005.  The Average Days on the Market in 2006 was also higher than 2005 by 13 days.

'Tis the Season ..... For Tax Sales

This article comes courtesy of Linda Jones w/ Security Title Guaranty Company and was written by Ron Childs.  If you are in need of Title Insurance for a Sale or Re-finance, you need look no further than Security Title - 303.743.7910 - and Closing Agent Kerry Tyrell

Across the State of Colorado county treasurers have been conducting tax sales from October 18 in Jefferson County until December 11 in Crowley County.  This tax auction process begins when the landowner does not pay the Ad Valorem real property taxes.  This unpaid, delinquent tax, levied by reason of property ownership, is sold at an auction conducted by the Treasurer's Office in the county in which the property is located.  The investor pays the tax due, interest and fees and the bid may also include a 'premium amount' (usually 5 to 8 percent of the lien amount) over and above the advertised amount.....

Looking to Buy a Newly Constructed Home?

Have you been looking for a brand new home in the Metro Denver and/or surrounding Areas?

Been thinking about DR Horton, Village, Lennar, Richmond, Ryland, Centex, US Home, Pulte, KB, Toll Brothers, Beazer, Del Webb, Berkeley. Engle, Concert, Standard Pacific, John Laing, Sheffield, Meritage, Shea, Morrison, Remington, etc…..? 

How does the New Home Buying process work?  What should you be on the look out for?

http://www.denvernewhomebuyers.com

Where are the new developments?  What is the difference between having a structural slab versus slab-on-grade construction?  What should I upgrade in a home and why?  Do homes on Open Space/Golf Courses really hold their value?  Are their any hidden costs when buying new home?  What are the advantages/disadvantages to buying standing inventory versus a dirt start?

Buying a New Home is an intricate and involved process.  I am an expert in helping people buy New Construction all throughout the Metro Denver Area. 

I have put together an article that explicitly details what to think about and what happens during the New Home buying process.  If you like what you read, please keep me in mind when you are looking for Real Estate Agent – thanks.
