Inventory is low…incredibly low. For our clients looking at Lakewood homes fore sale, they are painfully aware of the lack of available Lakewood foreclosures in the area. In fact, HUD has only 3 listings in the entire city and only one is larger than 2,000 square feet.

The one HUD listing larger than 2,000 square feet that is available in Lakewood is located just north of 6th Ave off of Kipling in the Lakewood Heights Neighborhood. The home is a brick ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 2 car garage. This home has a lot of potential with a little effort.

Bids for this home are being accepted through August 30th, so if you’d like to see it, or any of the available Denver HUD homes, call us at 303-726-1874 today.

The Colorado Division of housing released a report this morning detailing the 6 year low in sales of Colorado foreclosures. However, while still positive news, the headline is a little misleading. Here are a few more details from the report (found here):

• For the first seven months of the year, Colorado foreclosures filings were up 4.9% compared to last year
• For that same period, foreclosure auction sales were down 28%
• Among the counties surveyed, there were 865 foreclosure auction sales during July of this year, compared to 1,134 sales during July of last year.
• “There were fewer than 900 auction sales during July, which is a long way from zero, but back in 2007 and 2008, we often saw more than 2,000 completed foreclosures in a single month,” said Ryan McMaken, a spokesman with the Colorado Division of Housing. “New foreclosure filings are down quite a bit also but numbers have been flat so far this year.”

We are seeing many banks make amuch stronger push helping troubled homeowners by making Denver short sales easier to obtain. Most of the major banks have drastically improved the process and short sales can happen in just a coupe of months.

If you are new to the market, it is important to understand that these numbers relate to the auction process and the sales reported for those transactions only. Most Colorado foreclosures listed in the MLS have gone through this process and are being offered directly from the bank. This is a confusing distinction, but an important one.

For more details on these number or to talk with one of ou experts about his market, give us a call at 303-726-1874. There are some great deals out there – especially on Denver HUD homes. HUD is offering a $100 down payment program for owner occupants that cannot be beat, but we don’t know how long it will last.

Rents are up in Denver. Way up. According to the latest report by Trulia, year-over-year rents are up 10.5% in July. This is spurring an increase in buyers looking at Denver Investment properties.

And it’s not just the rents. According to the same report, asking prices are up 8.6% year-over-year. This corresponds with the data we’ve been reporting here for nearly a year detailing the increase in dales prices for the entire metro area.

The entire report is worth a read, and as you look at the data, pay attention to this explanation from the report itself:

The Trulia Price Monitor and the Trulia Rent Monitor are the earliest leading indicators of how asking prices and rents are trending nationally and locally. They adjust for the changing mix of listed homes and therefore show what’s really happening to asking prices and rents. Because asking prices lead sales prices by approximately two or more months, the Monitors reveal trends before other price indexes do. With that, here’s the scoop on where prices and rents are headed.

As we continue to stress here on our blog, the availability of Denver foreclosures and other Denver distressed properties are decreasing rapidly. Homeowners are typically favored in the buying process (especially for HUD and Fannie / Freddie homes) and the competition is fierce.

We receive calls every week from buyers looking to Rent to Own Homes in Denver. Many of the buyers have had a Denver foreclosure or a short sale and need to clean up their credit. Others aren’t sure if they will be in the Denver area for a long period of time, but want to lock in the possibility of today’s prices in case they do stay long term.

The challenge with these properties is that they are difficult to find and most agents are not familiar with the process or procedures for helping these buyers. In an effort to make the search easier, we have a page on our website that lists all of the Rent to own homes in Denver and the surrounding areas. All of these homes are listed in the MOS with the option for a buyer to purchase the home with a lease option.

Again, there are many extra steps to a transaction of this type, but for the right buyer, in the right situation, it may make sense. Give our team of experts a call today to see what the right choice is for you. With all of the deals on Denevr foreclosures and the $100 down program on Denver HUD homes, rent to own may not be smartest way to go. But if it is, we can help you every step of the way. Give us a call at 303-726-1874 today and we can educate you on all of the options for rent to own homes in Denver.
