• We know buying a house in Denver is not easy. Most well-priced homes will sell in a matter of days, and you’ll likely be competing against multiple buyers for the “perfect” home. But if you’re waiting for the stars to align — for rates to drop even lower, for more inventory, to save for a higher down payment, or (our personal favorite) for the “bubble to burst,” you will continue missing out on earning an average of 8% year over year in appreciation for simply buying a home. No full remodel, no sweat equity, just ownership. We break down the cost of waiting to buy at the link in our bio.

  • Looking to buy downtown? Now might be the time. Overall, Denver is setting home sales records for soaring median sales prices, low inventory, and the number of homes sold. Tell that to someone who’s trying to sell a condo downtown†, and you’ll probably be met with a puzzled look! Since the pandemic hit, the psyche of buyers looking to call downtown home has changed, and the statistics are backing that up. The downtown real estate market comprises a small percent of Denver’s overall monthly activity, so it’s getting buried by all of the records the rest of the city is experiencing. Here are a few stats we pulled from the downtown condo/loft market for September (represented in the second graphic above): • Median sale price is down 14.2% to $485,000, from $565,000 in September 2019. • The number of sales for September is down 60% from September 2019. • There was 4.3 months of inventory, up 21% from September 2019. Market reports are great, but keep in mind: they are broad in scope and usually give you the 30,000 foot view. The statistics that really matter are the ones for the neighborhood you’re looking to call home! † In this post, downtown Denver includes the neighborhoods of Union Station (LoDo) and Central Business District.

  • It's the final Friday in our employee profile run, and we couldn't be happier to finally share the lovely @debalbrandt with you. As a real estate broker, invested and loving grandmother, and dark chocolate lover (yum), we're so lucky to have Deb on our team! P.S. how great does she look in her brand new headshots? Get to know Deb:⁠ ⁠ Hometown: Rockford, IL ⁠ Coffee order: As much as I LOVE the aroma, I've never acquired the taste for coffee. I'll take sparkling water, instead!⁠ Favorite hike you've done in CO: Hiking around my 'hood, Arvada (I'm not a great outdoorsman).⁠ Hidden gem in your neighborhood: The Bluegrass Coffee + Bourbon Lounge in Olde Town -- plus, they're opening a second location close to my house!⁠ Favorite aspect of your job: I don't really consider it a "job" -- when people need help buying and selling a home (whether their first, second, or one of many), I love being able to utilize my broad experience (and supportive team) to help them navigate the process, no matter the situation. It's not a job, but rather a love of helping people.⁠ ⁠ And that's everyone on our team! Thanks for your fun comments, we've loved getting to know you too.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ _________________________________________⁣⁠ #loveyourhood #lovewhereyouwork #lovewhoyouworkwith #denverrealestate #realtor #meettheteam⁠

  • Happy Friday, everyone! It's time for another LYH employee profile, and we can't wait for you to get to know @jenwildermcclung a little better! The other half of our leadership duo, Jen is our creative genius, our big-picture-thinker AND our small-detail-organizer, an amazing mother of four, and LYH's owner alongside her husband, Mark. If she wasn't already awesome enough, she can run like nobody's business, leads homeschool for her rambunctious clan, and is pictured here with the newest and cutest McClung, little Quinn. Get to know Jen!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Hometown: ⁠Rockford, IL⁠⠀ Coffee order: ⁠Iced mocha, light on the ice.⁠⠀ Favorite hike you've done in CO: I’d have to go with Quandary. I went with my roommates at the time and we camped nearby the night before. My sweet golden retriever went with us. It was such a fun time! (swipe right for a photo -- man, have cameras come a long way!)⁠⠀ Hidden gem in your neighborhood: With four little kids, we don’t currently get out much. When we do, we love date nights at La Loma! If only they’d bring back the seafood enchiladas!⁠⠀ Favorite aspect of your job: I love that there is always room for creativity and out of the box thinking no matter which area of our business I’m working on that day.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠Thanks for getting to know Jen this week! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ _________________________________________⁣⁠⠀ #loveyourhood #lovewhereyouwork #lovewhoyouworkwith #denverrealestate #realtor #meettheteam⁠
