"Telling You the Truth About Denver Real Estate for 20 years..."
Headline:

Opportunity and Optimism for Buyers:
There’s clearly a trend favoring buyers! More homes, on htemaket, price reductions AND lower interest rates! The perfect time to buy. My advice:
My Conclusion:
It’s still a Sellers’ market but becoming more attractive and balanced for buyers. Higher inventory and slowing sales will continue to result in price reductions for sellers and increased buying power for buyers.

Word of the Month…
Studies have shown your income and wealth are directly related to the size and depth of your vocabulary. Here is this month’s word, so you can impress your friends (and maybe even fatten your wallet!)…

Meaning: a period of time when a person chooses to refrain from using digital devices
Sample Sentence: She decided to take a digital detox while on vacation and not check her social media accounts.
Chil-i Out
Do you know the difference between chile powder and chili powder? Chile powder is made of dried chile peppers, ground with no other additions. Chili powder blends chile peppers with other spices like cumin and oregano (for making chili).
Smart Clothes Shopping
How many clothing items in your closet do you actually wear? Avoid falling into fast fashion trends with these tips:
-Invest in high-quality clothing with better materials and production.
-Buy clothing that fits or have it tailored properly so you actually wear it.
-Buy clothes that you’ll realistically wear and that look good on your body type now (not the one you wish you had or used to have).
-Care for clothing with proper washing, ironing, and storage.

College Visits 101
Class is in session! How to get that almost-collegiate ready for college visits:
- Visit during the school year. That way you can get a feel for the actual vibe of campus life.
- Make a visitation plan. Before hitting campus, check to see if there are tours at certain times, and make appointments with professors, coaches, or student club officers in advance instead of just dropping in.
- Grab the student newspaper. What are the hot topics on campus? Are students’ concerns being addressed?
- Explore the facilities. Don’t forget to stop by the student union building, gym, and cafeteria. Ask if you can tour a dorm.
- Don’t feel pressured to go. Visiting in advance is not a requirement!

Q. I’m seeking financing to purchase a home. What questions should I ask a mortgage lender to get the best deal on a home loan?
A. Before you meet with the lender, learn important financing terms such as origination fee, discount points, and lock period. This way you’ll be prepared to ask relevant questions. Here are some examples:
