Mountain home sales down so says the Denver Post

Saturday, September 10, 2011

I was reading the The Denver Post article a couple weeks back and was surprised to see my Dad’s company sign front and center under the caption

Sales of [tag]Colorado mountain-resort homes[/tag] in July lowest in years

Really? It sure didn’t feel that way to me! I had this plan to work less and play more this summer; [tag]mountain biking[/tag], [tag]fly fishing[/tag] and [tag]camping[/tag] with my wife and 4 year old son. But there’s been precious little time for that. steamboat-springs-colorado-camping.jpg However, as the proverb advises, when the sun is shining, it’s time to make hay. We did sneak a few fun days in because [tag]Steamboat[/tag] was just to beautiful to pass up!. This was the busiest summer I’ve had for sales since mid 2007 and I’m very thankful to everyone that trusted me with their real estate transactions this year, 2008 and 2009 were tough years to be in the [tag]Steamboat Real Estate[/tag] business. The pulse now? Busy! Stan from Land Title was mostly accurate in his statement that

Most of these homes are second homes, and banks just are not lending.

However, that depends on the buyer. [tag]Lending standards[/tag] are much stricter but not lending needs some clarification because out of 16 sales for me this year so far (4 of those currently pending), half of them had a lender, 3 were 100% financing utilizing the USDA home loan programs, 2 were seller financed and the other 3 were conventional loans with 20% or more down. My recent sale was a 2 bed [tag]condo[/tag] and the buyer got a loan from a local bank. You’ll hear that banks are not lending on condos, but you just have to know where to shop and be prepared to jump though some hoops. Do you have income and good credit? Give me a call or email me and I’ll help point you in the right direction to find some money to buy real estate. Reading between the lines in the article above
