Probably THE best place to live in the Denver Metro area and this will appeal more to the high-end luxury home buyer than anybody else is an area is called Cherry Hills Village.  Cherry Hills Village is surrounded by University Boulevard on the west side all the way over to Monaco on the east. It goes from the south at Belleview to the north at about Quincy. This is a fairly large area and there’s a couple of sub-areas within Cherry Hills such as Buell Mansion.

If this is the kind of area that appeals to you, I’d love the opportunity to assist you further!  I can provide you:

• market statistics
• demographics
• pricing
• even some specific information about some of the high-end listings in there.

This is a neighborhood that sells for an average sales price of about $1.9 million over the past 15 months. Now, there aren’t a lot of sales here as you can imagine. This area has fewer homes per square mile as the properties are typically at least 1, usually 2 acres and sometimes even larger. These homes range from the low multi-millions in the high $1,000,000’s, all the way up to the $15,000,000 to $16,000,000 range. This is truly the high-end of the Denver Metro area.

It’s very easy access to the freeways and to downtown Denver.  You have all the privacy and luxury that you would expect in this kind of price range.  There’s gated communities. Lots of activities within the community and
just a terrific place to live and raise a family.  This is home to a lot of the sports stars, the athletes and, of course, the successful business people.

So, if this is an area that you’re interested in, I’d love an opportunity to show you more about it.  You can use www.EasyDenverHomeSearch.com and just outline the area I mentioned, or just put in ‘Cherry Hills Village’ under the city search feature in the search criteria. You can call me directly at 303-526-2606 or just drop me an email Sam [at] SamWilsonGroup.com

Until Next time

Out in the Western suburbs of Denver in the city of Lakewood is a subdivision called Green Mountain. Perhaps you’ve heard of it or even driven through it. This is a great area that’s bordered on the north by Alameda on the south by about Jewell. It goes west to about 470 and east to Kipling.

It’s a very big area with a wide range of homes and a wide range of prices. The average price is $342,000 over the past 15 months. The foreclosure rate over here is very low, at about, only 3% to 4% of total homes sold, depending on the area. There are some parts of Green Mountain that have higher foreclosure rates and then there’s some that haven’t had a foreclosure at all. It just depends on the area and the price range within Green Mountain.

Also, prices have only declined between 9% and 10% on average in this area. That’s much better than the rest of the market. This is a stable area. It’s a great family-type community and there’s good schools and lots of activities. Plus, you’re just a hop, skip and a jump from the 3 major freeways to get you up to the mountains for playtime.

If Green Mountain is one of the areas that you’re interested in whether you’re looking for a brand new home just being constructed in Soltera or something older with fix-up opportunity, then I can certainly help you with anything in this area. You should use www.EasyDenverHomeSearch.com to start searching for homes in the area to see if there’s anything that meets your needs.

This topic is an urgent one about the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit!

You’ve seen other information from me, you’ve seen all the news on TV and in the newspaper and right now, it is still true, that you can get the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit. The bad news is that it’s set to expire on November 30th 2009. I implore you to take action quickly if you want to take advantage of this free tax credit from the government.

To dispel any of the rumors, there is not an extension of this program at this time. There has been some discussion about it, but at this point, there has not been an extension of the program, so it is, in fact, set to inspire November 30th. This is an urgent message to anybody thinking about making their 1st home purchase, this year, to do it now!

There’s still time to:

• help you find a home

• get it under contract

• get it closed by that November 30th deadline so you can get that $8,000 credit!

There’s so much information out there. I’ve made videos about it. You can go to www.IRS.gov, you can also find it on the National Association of Realtors website. It is a fact that this is a real program and that it is about to expire.

For any areas in the Denver Metro area you might want to take advantage of this program, just use www.EasyDenverHomeSearch.com.  That’s how I can assist you to find a home that’s listed for sale currently and help you go see it in time to make your offer and get it closed by November 30th. Don’t let this program go to waste. It’s unlimited by the government, it just expires in 6 weeks. But there’s plenty of time to still go get that home, if you’re interested. If you’d like more information about the tax credit, how it works, or just want to shop for homes contact me directly Sam [at] SamWilsonGroup.com or call me at 303-526-2606. Myself and my team of buyer agents are standing by, ready to help you take advantage of this program and find that great first home!

Until Next time
