We’ve received quite a few calls this week from buyers looking at Castle Rock foreclosures. Unfortunately, the inventory for these foreclosures is down. The good news, is that there a few great deals on some HUD Castle Rock homes for sale right now.

The homes below qualify for the HUD $100 down payment program (as do all Denver HUD homes), but we don’t expect them to remain on the market for very long. We’ve had several buyers get out bid on the small inventory of HUD homes over the past couple of months, so if you are interested, call us today to see the home and if you bid, make sure your bid is strong.

Our team is excited to announce that Suzanna Von Hurst is bringing her vast expertise on Fix and Flip Denver Homes and investment property to our team. Suzanna has been an agent for several years, but even before she obtained her license, she was successfully buying and “flipping” homes across the metro area.

With her experience and knowledge, as well as her industry connections, were thrilled to have her as a resource for both our clients and the other agents in our company.

As many of you in the industry know, “flipping” homes in the Denver area has become much more difficult over the last few years. In the past, most Denver foreclosures could be purchased, refurbished and flipped for at least a small profit. Now the profit margins are tighter and the margin for error is smaller.

 While Fix and Flip Denver Homes can still be profitable, the entire endeavor must be done with the proper planning and the right knowledge. If you’re interested in learning more about investing in these types of homes, you owe it to yourself to give Suzanna a call.

Suzanna can be reached at 303-263-3581.

The good news on Denver foreclosures keeps coming. The number of Colorado foreclosures reached the lowest level since 2006. The total number of foreclosures for 2011 show a 25% decline from 2010.

These number continue to correspond with the statistics and housing inventroy we’ve been seeing over the past year. Inventory number continue to decrease and we’re finding the number of Denver HUD homes and foreclosures decreasing at a faster rate than the traditional resales.

From the Denver Business Journal:

Colorado foreclosures in 2011 reached their lowest level since 2006, the state Division of Housing reported Wednesday.

New foreclosure filings in Colorado, which may or may not lead to the auction of a home, last year totaled 31,914, down 25 percent from 2010 levels. Meanwhile, foreclosure sales at auction totaled 19,622 in 2011, down 17 percent.

Both totals were the lowest statewide since 2006, the report said.

While the decrease in foreclosures doesn’t mean that things are going to improve overnight, these numbers serve to strengthen a trend we’ve been seeing for the past year.

As with all real estate, everything is local. If you’d like information on foreclosures in a specific neighborhood or city, give us a call at 303-726-1874. The numbers for Denver foreclosures can vary wildly from neighboring cities and areas.

 I spent yesterday afternoon showing a client several Parker Foreclosures. There are some great deals on the market right now. Many of these foreclosures are in great condition and don’t show like traditional Parker Distressed properties. Some have newer carpet and paint and need very little work to move into.

HUD listed two new Parker foreclosures over the weekend and both are located in Stroh Ranch Parker Homes. Stroh Ranch is one of the more popular areas in Parker and is located just off of Parker rd, roughly 2 miles south of Main Street. This allows easy access to C-470 and the tech center as well as all that Parker has to offer.
