Hip Spaces In The City [Denver – Fresh Listings]

--- by Sophie Kloor With the onset of gorgeous weather this past week, it's safe to say the entirety of Colorado is aching for all that the new season brings. It's been amazing to watch the mood shifts of both myself and all those around me as we have warmer and longer days.  I find that many listings feature a lovely, summery exterior first photo. This can be a bit misleading, so I always check to see if they're refreshed listings, trying to be sneaky and look new. Most of the times, they are indeed fresh, and simply want to highlight [...]

Victorian or New Build? You Decide [Denver – Fresh Listings]

--- by Sophie Kloor I'm publishing a little late this week, as I've been busy writing offers and helping clients with their diverse range of real estate needs in Denver, Boulder and everywhere in between. If you've worked with me then you know that my clients always come first.  This week I sorted through over 250 new listings in Denver. I've removed those in poor locations, that were overpriced, or old listings masquerading as new. 10 properties made my list, for a variety of different reasons.  Inventory in the detached Denver market is up almost 41% compared to last year. More inventory [...]

Portfolio Worthy Historic Homes and Ultra Luxury Estates [Boulder Fresh Listings]

Historic homes are charming and located in the best parts of Boulder, but there's another reason to buy them. They hold their value exceptionally well, sell faster, and appreciate better than mass produced homes from the 1950's and beyond.  I absolutely adore historic homes and consider them a wise investment, but I also warn my buyer clients to go in with eyes wide open. Historic properties often have issues with foundations, a lack of closet space, deferred maintenance, and inadequate electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems. Expect to conduct extensive due diligence and if you buy, plan for maintenance costs that [...]

Snow In The City [Denver – Fresh Listings]

--- by Sophie Kloor Over 200 listings hit the market in Denver this week. Each time I write these posts, I select attractive and compelling neighborhoods throughout the city, and I draw a map to include those areas. I always remove properties that are blatantly overpriced, in bad locations, or that are refreshed old listings, attempting to look new.  This week, I've selected a variety of properties in different parts of Denver, but focused on many older homes that boast character and history.  If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell in the Denver or Boulder area, I [...]

I've culled the overpriced homes, as well as those in poor locations. Take a look below at the best options currently on market.  Ready to [...]

An Inviting Loft, Crisp Duplex, and Historic Bungalow [Denver – Fresh Listings]

--- by Sophie Kloor Let's be honest, you have to be extremely motivated to list during the last week of the year. Well advised sellers know it's always better to wait until January when the number of buyers in the market begins to increase again.  Despite this busy holiday season, a total of 63 new listings went on market in the past week alone throughout Denver. I culled those is poor locations, as well as listings that were blatantly overpriced. Only five properties made my list. These homes genuinely excite me for a variety of reasons, read below to find out why.  [...]

The Best of Denver Real Estate [Eye Candy]

--- by Sophie Kloor I love Boulder: the land of Flatirons, yoga pants, wheatgrass, and puffy coats. However, I have been craving city life and and this past September I purchased a lovely home in City Park West. This move to Denver has created an opportunity for me to further my understanding of the Denver real estate market - and I am increasingly captivated by all that this city offers. I've been discovering different neighborhoods, eateries, coffee shops and, best of all, awesome properties. The Denver market is vast and has options for every type of buyer, at every price point.

Boulder Real Estate Cycle Ending? Don’t Be Spooked! [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]

One of those most important things is knowing where we stand in the cycle. As I say, I don’t believe in forecasts. We always say,“We never know where we’re going, but we sure as hell ought to know where we are.”   - Howard Marks, Oaktree Capital Management I've been tracking the Boulder real estate market for 14 years. Before there was a Zillow or a Redfin, with their erroneous (but pretty) charts, I was crunching data to put together accurate inventory, sales volume, price, and absorption charts for Boulder real estate. Back then, to make ends meet, I also worked for [...]

Testimonials

We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.

Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
