We typically don’t see many Denver HUD homes hit the market over Christmas, but this year, HUD actually listed a couple of them on the 24th and the 25th. The townhome we are most excited about is a 3 bedroom, 1,235 square foot home with an attached garage.

This is a great opportunity in the Villages North Townhomes complex where there are currently only 3 units on the market. But what makes this home such a great find is that a unit that is only 3 square feet larger is listed right now for more than $35,000 higher! This is definitely the best deal on a Thornton townhouse we have seen in a while!

Take a look at all of the photos on our website and you’ll see what a find this is. Then, give our team a call at 303-726-1874 and we can show you this, or any of the other available Thornton Foreclosures on the market. Remember, this home is only available to buyers who plan on living in the home (no investors yet).

We haven’t even finished 2013 and we’ve set a 6 year record for sales of Littleton homes. With the numbers in for only half of December, this year is already showing a big increase in home sales from 2012 and a nearly 40% increase from 2011!

These numbers are coming in despite of the number of Littleton foreclosures dropping sharply over the same period. As you can see from the chart below, foreclosure sales in 2013 are less than half of foreclosure sales were in 2008.

We will update this data once we have final numbers for all of 2013, but we couldn’t help but get excited at sharing this data.

As always, every neighborhood and area is different, so if you would like a detailed look at you specific area, give us a call and we will run the numbers for you.

More incredibly positive news for Denver homes came out today. The commerce department released the latest statistics showing that new construction starts in November jumped 23% and hit the highest number since February of 2008 at the begining of the recession.

We’ve been seeing evidence of this as New construction homes in Denver have begun to pick up after over a year of a severely diminished housing inventory. It’s interesting to see the numbers for the rest of the nation following suit.

From DailyFinance.com:

U.S. builders broke ground on homes at the fastest pace in more than five years, strong evidence that the housing recovery is accelerating despite higher mortgage rates.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that developers began construction on houses and apartments in November at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.09 million. That’s 23 percent more than October’s pace of 889,000 and the fastest since February 2008, just a few months after the recession began.

Construction of single-family homes jumped 21 percent to an annual pace of 727,000, also the highest in more than five years. Apartment construction soared 26 percent to a 354,000 annual pace.

If you are interested in buying a new construction home in Denver, give us a call. New home builders are not required to use the state approved contracts that all other sales use, and you truly need buyer representation on your side. You can reach us at 303-726-1874.
