Colorado Suburban Home Styles: A Popularity Ranking

I have appraised thousands of homes in hundreds of neighborhoods in Colorado.  From my first-hand  research, I have established a popularity ranking of the most common suburban style detached homes.  The list was determined by analyzing average days on market, and sale price of the various styles.  Below is the list, starting with the most popular.  Click on the link for a description of the house style.

1.  Ranch
2.  Two Story
3.  4-Level, (split-level), with a basement
3.  Tri-Level, (split-level), no basement
4.  Bi-Level

The higher a house style is on the list, the more likely it is to sell quicker and for a higher dollar amount than the house styles listed below it.  There are always exceptions, and the list becomes less reliable in the cases of large houses, custom style houses, or houses located in the Colorado Mountains.

Do you want an idea what your Colorado home is worth?  Give me a call!

Denver > Buy Homes with your Credit Card?

Have you considered investing in a rental property, or two, or three?  Adding them to your investment portfolio?  How about properties so cheap that you could likely buy them using your credit card?  Of course, a credit card is not a recommended purchase method, but it gives you an idea of just how cheap some deals are.  I dove into the MLS this morning, searching for cheap properties in Colorado, specifically in Denver and the Greater Denver area.  Below is a summary of my findings:

-260 Single Family homes priced at 50K or less.
-28 Single Family homes priced at 25K or less.
-18 Condominiums priced at 25K or less.

You can expect every one of these properties need work, but there is a great deal of equity to be had in many cases.  Are you interested?  Contact me for additional information.
