Home Prices in the Denver Real Estate Market
Which Price Point is Selling in the Denver-area?
According to a recent article in the Denver Business Journal, Denver County had more sales (7,482 closed sales) of single-family homes in 2009 than any other Denver-area county. What sold in Denver County last year? Over one-third of Denver County’s sold homes were considered “affordable homes,” priced in the $100,000-$200,000 price range, while 21 percent of the sold homes were “move-up homes,” priced in the $200,000-$300,000 range.
This trend was also evident in two other Denver-area counties – 37 percent of sold Arapahoe County homes were in the “affordable” $100,000-$200,000 range, while close to half of sold Adams County homes fell into this range.
The $200,000-$300,000 price range, considered to be a “move-up” price, was the most popular range in Jefferson County, Douglas County and Broomfield County. The most homes sold in Boulder last year fell into the $300,000-$500,000 range, although the area has considerably higher prices than other Denver-area communities.
The popularity of the lower price point is likely due to the first-time homebuyer credit that provides up to $8,000 to first-time buyers, and it was recently expanded to move-up buyers. This trend is in line with what we have been seeing with our new clients and inquiries. If you are a first-time homebuyer, or move-up buyer in the Denver real estate market, do not miss this opportunity. For information on Denver homes, please contact TeamCox Realtors at 303-400-6060.

Whittier is bounded to the north and south by MLK Blvd and 23rd Avenue, and to the east and west by York and Downing Streets.

A Lick of Happiness in Denver
I recently dropped by the coveted Bonnie Brae neighborhood to check on one of our a listings, and my route took me past the renowned Bonnie Brae Ice Cream Parlor. While those of us who really know good ice cream will acknowledge that this probably is the best ice cream in the entire city, apparently the word has leaked out. It was standing room only with guys, gals, and entire families were lapping up their favorite flavors. I’ve noticed that there seems to be a return to familiar and less expensive things to do this summer. Put Bonnie Brae Ice Cream Parlor on the top of your “must visit” list. What are you noticing as fun and not too expensive things to do in your neighborhood?

Denver Luxury Home Tour Starts This Week!
The Parade of Homes has gotten a facelift this year– it has a new name (Denver Luxury Home Tour), it is being held much earlier in the summer, and the homes are scattered throughout the Denver metro area, not just at one site.
The event will run from June 5th to July 5th – to be held on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 6pm. The homes on the tour, priced between $1 million and $6 million, showcase multiple Denver-area luxury neighborhoods, including Belcaro (Denver), Observatory Park (Denver), South Bonnie Brae (Denver), The Timbers (Parker), Pradera (Parker), Whisper Canyon (Castle Rock), Escavera (Castle Rock), The Preserve (Greenwood Village), One Cherry Lane (Greenwood Village), Heritage Hills (Lone Tree), Cherokee Ridge Estates (Littleton), and many more.
Tickets are priced at $15 for Adults, $12 for Seniors (65+), and Kids 12 and under. Tickets are only available online or at King Soopers – they are not available at the door.
We are truly excited about this event’s new format, since it will allow attendees to get a taste of so many different high-end neighborhoods in the Denver real estate market. For more information on the Denver Luxury Home Tour, please contact TeamCox Realtors at 303-400-6060. You can also visit the Tour’s website, which has detailed information.

Denver Area Community Spotlight – University Hills
Denver’s quaint University Hills neighborhood, also known as Observatory Park, is an older area nestled between Hampden Avenue, Colorado Boulevard, Evans and I-25. This area is perfect for commuting to the Denver Tech Center and for traveling to the mountains because of its close proximity to the interstate. Most of the homes in the area date back to the 1950s, however many homes have been “scraped.” As a result, home prices in University Hills vary from the $100,000s to upwards of $1,000,000.
The University Hills neighborhood is home to many local joints, including restaurants and ethnic eateries, independent shops, Chez Artiste (a famous independent movie theatre), a public library and its very own Mamie Doud Eisenhower Park. The park offers tennis courts, soccer fields, an outdoor pool, a recreation center, and a playground. The Wellington public golf course is located right across the street. This family friendly neighborhood feeds into Denver Public Schools and is home to several private schools.
