If you have been searching Lakewood short sales waiting for that “Perfect Deal,” this Crown Hill Lakewood home is the one you’ve been waiting for!

We received an offer on this home months ago and went under contract. Our team negotiated with the bank and were able to get the short sale approved. Two weeks before closing, the buyer walked away. That means this is one of the very few, fully approved Lakewood short sales on the market.

This home is an amazing deal. At nearly 2,200 square feet on an 1/4 acre lot, this home is priced at just $245,000! Remodeled with wood floors, lows of light and RV storage, this home will go quickly – again. If you would like to see this, or any other Lakewood homes for sale, call us at 303-726-1874.

This is in line with the numbers we have been posting here for almost a year now. While the luxury home market in the Denver area typically lags behind median priced homes, we have still been seeing a significant increase in the number of luxury homes being sold.

There were 45 sales of luxury properties, including single family homes and condos, in August totalling $63.46 million, a slight month-over-month decrease from the 46 sold in July 2012 but a whopping 61 percent increase from the 28 sold in August 2011.

The most expensive property sold was for $7.5 million, the report states.

Average number of days on the market year-to-date dropped 7.7 percent year-over-year, from 222 in 2011 to 205 days this year.

Some more fantastic news was released today regarding sales and prices for Denver homes! According to the latest report from CoreLogic, their Home price Index (HPI) for the Denver metro area grew 8.4% in July compared to July of 2011!

THis number includes all homes, including Denver distressed properties (Denver foreclosures and Denver short sales) and is over twice what was reported for the increase in the national HPI.

From the Denver Business Journal:

The Denver real estate market continues to ride a wave of recovery as evidenced by gains in home sale prices, according to the CoreLogic Inc. home price index (HPI) report released Tuesday.

The HPI in the Denver-Aurora-Broomfield area, including distressed sales, grew 8.4 percent in July from the same month in 2011, the report states. That’s the sixth month in row that market’s HPI has grown year-over year.

That’s also a 1.8 percent increase from June’s revised HPI of 6.6 percent, according to CoreLogic. The company often revises prior month’s HPI as public records data is updated.

Nationally, the HPI grew 3.8 percent in July from the July 2011 index. CoreLogic noted that was the biggest year-over-year increase since August 2006.

While the fact that prices increased was not a surprise to us, the amount of the increase was. 8.4% over a year is not a small figure and when compared to the national figures, this is a very positive sign.

Even more encouraging is that these numbers factor in the Denver foreclosures and Denver short sales that have tended to weigh down some past reports.

If you would like more information on this report or would like to speak with our team about Denver homes in general, give us a call at 303-726-1874.

The positive price trend for Denver homes continues today with Case-Shiller releasing its latest Home Prices Index. The latest report shows a 4% increase in Denver homes prices for June of this year when compared to June of 2011. It also shows a month-over-month increase of 2% from from May of 2012.

If you have been reading our blog, then this news won’t be a surprise for you. Reports like this have been coming out for nearly a year and every indication has shows a slow, steady increase in prices of Denver homes. Keep in mind that these numbers include Denver foreclosures and Denver HUD homes. Many reports in the past have not included these distressed properties and have artificially inflated prices – this report does not remove those traditional lower numbers.

In addition to the positive uptick in sales, Denver is also #4 in the entire nation for price increases. From the Denevr Business Journal:

For the sixth straight month, metro Denver posted a year-over-year increase in home prices in June, at a pace that eclipsed all but three of the nation’s 20 largest markets, according to the latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Prices Index, released Tuesday

…

The only major markets with greater gains in the year ending in June were Phoenix (up 13.9 percent), Minneapolis (up 5.7 percent) and Miami (up 4.4 percent).

There is still time to find good deals on Denver foreclosures and Denver short sales, but the windo wis closing. If you would like to speak with one of our experts, give us a call at 303-726-1874.

The Seven Hills Aurora neighborhood is located just east of Tower Rd, north of Hampden. With it’s proximity to Cherry Creek State Park, I-225 and E-470, it is a popular location for buyers considering Aurora homes. This week, HUD released a new listing in the neighborhood bringing HUD’s total number of Aurora foreclosures to just 10.

That’s correct, far from the huge inventory of  available Aurora foreclosures we grew used to seeing just a year ago, right now, HUD has only 10 aurora foreclosures on the market. And those that are listed, are moving quickly.

This listing is over 1,400 square feet, has an attached 1 car garage and is eligible for the $100 HUD down payment program.
