Denver Homeowners Refinance Opportunity

April 16, 2012 by Bob Schenkenberger · Leave a Comment

New loan programs have opened up refinancing to people that were previously denied.

The only main criteria is that your loan was closed before June 1 2009 and you must be current on your mortgage. If you are unsure of the date, I can help you find it.

This loan will allow you to refince EVEN if:

-You owe more than your home is worth
-You have a 2nd mortgage
-You have mortgage insurance
-You are unemployed
-You have bad credit
-You make too much money for other programs
-Your home is an investment property

You can also remove an ex spouse or co borrower and closing costs can be paid by the lender.

Take advantage of todays amazingly low rates!

Denver Real Estate Activity WAY Up!

April 2, 2012 by Bob Schenkenberger · Leave a Comment

The amount of activity in the Denver Real Estate market is way up! I’ve told anyone who will listen, that the last 3 months have been busier than at any time in the past 4 years. The data is backing up my spidey senses on this one.

The absolute BEST indicator of activity in the market place can not be found with typical statistical followings. Average days on market is close, but by the time this number is relevant, it’s too late and the trend has passed. Average sales price, number of homes sold, average price per foot…are great for seeing where the market has been, and perhaps tell where it’s headed, but once again it’s totally reactionary.

The ONLY way to tell what the market is doing today, is to get your arms around the actual activity taking place in the market at this moment! Unfortunately, this data is impossible to mine on a large scale. It would require the input of hundreds of brokerages in the area to compile and submit this data to a centralized source. Not going to happen. However, I have been tracking my offices data on activity for well over 5 years, and although it’s not the complete story, it’s a pretty fair sample of the market data. I’ve attached a graph below that shows the average number of showing per listing in a given month. This is a true indication of how many buyer’s are actually out there looking to purchase homes.

Suffice it to say, the data is completely encouraging that the Denver Real Estate market is on the upswing. As a matter of fact, I’ve personally had a hard time finding homes for buyer’s in the Sub-$300,000 market anywhere on the south end of the Denver Metro area. Inventory has dropped 35% since the beginning of the year.

Please let me know in the comments section if you have any questions! And, if you, or anyone you know, is looking to sell there home in Denver, Centennial, Littleton, Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Parker, Highlands Ranch, Aurora, or Castle Rock, please let me know.
