SHHHHH….. It’s a “Bedroom community”. That’s right some of
Colorado’s bests are laying there head on their pillows in the crisp, clean
community of evergreen only to wake up and take their shamelessly short
commutes to work, entertainment, DIA, major education institutions, as well as
award winning medical facilities. But don’t take my word for it; let’s look at
some of these drive times.
From my office in Bergen Park (North Evergreen)I can be in Denver West inside of 15 minutes with all of its
Restaurants, Colorado Mills Mall, Whole Foods grocery and movie theaters.

Even Denver International Air Port is less than an hour away with other more private and secluded options conveniently assessable.
Coors Field & Invesco field are both a brief thirty
minute drive which is conspicuously close to the drive time required to get to
Down Town Denver.

Denver Center for the Performing arts is within 35 minutes from
clusters of other boutique restaurants, hotels, museums and other performance
venues. Most of our areas sophisticated outdoor entertainment are within 35
minutes from Evergreen as well such as Red Rocks amphitheater, Denver’s Biotical
Gardens and Fiddlers Green.

Evergreen is not only an easy dash to the east with Denver
and all of its opportunity and sophisticated allure. It is also the gateway to
the Rocky’s sharing both a feel of Mountain living and the convenience Denver’s
proximity. Located in Jefferson County Evergreen resides in the in the most park
and open space rich county in the continental United States.

From my desk I can be at a ski lift within minutes if the
mood strikes me. I know it’s going to be that kind of day when I toss my ski gear in my car the night before.  One of my favorites is Copper Mountain, but Vail, Breck and
A-Basin are all inside of an hour from here.

Please feel free to move here , just don’t tell everyone…….Sean

Medical and Medicine in Evergreen
Last night I read that University of Colorado Hospital is ranked #1
compared to other hospitals in the Denver metropolitan area. I pulled the following
stats from their site; UCH is nationally ranked by U.S. News in pulmonology (8th),
kidney disorders (15th), rheumatology (19th) and cancer (44^th)In the
metro area survey, U.S. News data
ranks UCH in 10 other high-performing specialties: diabetes and endocrinology;
ear, nose and throat; gastroenterology; geriatrics; gynecology; neurology and
neurosurgery; orthopedics; psychiatry; rehabilitation, and urology.
This of course made me think
about what sort of care and services I have for myself, family, friends and
clients  in Evergreen.

First Responders:
My observation
is that every “cool guy” I know in Evergreen is on the Volunteer Firemen. They
seem to be everywhere.  There are at
least eighty two of them with approximately a dozen of them graduating their
ten month academy   annually and their first order of business is
CPR and First Aid. To call their training and dedication as excellent would be
an understatement.
Jefferson County
is the governing entity for non-incorporated Evergreen and is the source of
paid first responder services.  http://www.denverems.org/

Good to know……… Sean

I would like to first disclose that I love listing and marketing homes. And this market has been very frustrating for a lot of people which frustrates me so I am working to understand this log jam. I watch & read the news, go to trainings and meetings and have conversations with experts and my contemporaries on a regular basis. I even watch the talking heads on Sunday morning television trying to gleam wisdom that would benefit my clients but with minimum avail. As buyers, sellers and real-estate professionals seem to circle around each other without fruition I would like take a fresh look at the current state of affairs and address three terms that I believe are relevant to our current state of affairs, fungibility, arbitrage and reticular vision.

Many of us have taken economic classes but we all may need a refresher on the term fungibility. Fungibility refers to the liquidity or lack thereof regarding an asset. Currency is very fungible because most rational people would be willing to exchange a unit of currency for another of same or greater value. Keepsakes or family air looms have low fungible value because the worth to the owner is probably different than the party wishing to acquire. Home owners have historically been faulted with over valuing their homes because of emotional pride or personal investment. Awareness of this is common in the real-estate industry but sometimes the seller is correct. Buyers tend to view all homes as discount properties or center of the bell curve at best while sellers tend to view their homes as unique irreplaceable properties which place on the plus side of the bell curve. The truth is that even the most common tract home has its plus and minuses and the ability to compare properties is an art and should be left to the best of the best professionals whom are not emotionally vested. That is if it is accepted that the market would be a major variable in said transaction.

Arbitrage is again another economic term. This term describes the difference in markets or currencies that’s measurements may harm or benefit vested or responsible parties. The more obvious arbitrage in the market is replacement costs or resale vs. building. For the answer to this question you will need a local expert or experts. There are many variables but I will share with you that in general our market was at it’s peak in 2006 and Evergreen Colorado saw a property value loss approaching 25 percent while construction costs have declined by almost the same amount depending on variables like concrete and metals that take larger amounts of energy to produce. Another arbitrage in our market (and term arbitrage is being used loosely) is selling price vs. purchase price. IE if in a down market you may sell your home at $500.000.00 and  take a 10% percent hit to cost you  $50,000 and purchase a million dollar home at the same 10% to gain $100,000 in potential equity which would net  $50,000 worth of equity on balance. This is an immediate gain but personally I would like to and plan on going the other direction. I want to buy low and sell high and the more I can get on the low the better.  The third piece of arbitrage I’ll address is interest rate vs. purchase price as they relate to mortgage payment. I’m going to be careful here and not pretend to be a lending expert but I will say that the conventional wisdom in my industry is that even a  one percent change in interest rate can incrementally outpace the purchase price relative to purchase price and it is widely believed that interest rates have hit bottom.

Reticular Vision is something I remember reading about but I can’t find evidence of so I might be making this term up. None the less the concept is applicable. This concept is easier for me to explain by example. If your considering purchasing a Volkswagen, you will all of the sudden notice all of the VW advertisements in magazines and on billboards’. This occurrence tends to direct us towards information that benefits us therefor if you are a seller in Evergreen you will internalize what you hear or read in the local news. If you’re a buyer you will gravitate to the information that suggests that on average prices are lower than the local market. The lesson here is to review the local data with a qualified professional. Research…Research…Research!

At the end of the day sellers and buyers should understand we all have bias but there is some truth in there somewhere. We all want the best deal out there but it’s not as easy as it sounds. If you would like the highest price for your home it should be priced correctly the first time around, have differentiating attributes that differentiates it, scarcity creates value and have a great realtor. If you’re a buyer looking for that once in a lifetime deal you will need to be as liquid as possible, patient and willing to kiss a few frogs before you find your prince and even then he may need some work.

In today’s Internet world of cell phones, text messages, and instant messaging, it’s no wonder yet another tool is emerging, the QR Code. Of course, it would stand for “Quick Response.” Everything is about fast information today, and the QR Code for real estate is no exception.

The image in this article is an actual qr code for the website that generated it at Kaywa.com. Any person with a cell phone that has the qr code reader software installed can shoot a picture of that image and they will be taken to the website for that code.

Explaining it a bit better, you’ll need a web-enabled phone. That’s becoming much more common these days. There will be even more soon, as the cell providers are upgrading their networks and offering web access at lower rates. Once you have the software on the phone, you can shoot a picture of these qr codes wherever you see them. They are appearing in print ads, on brochures and many other places. When you scan one, you are taken to the web page the marketer wants you to see. Of course, it will be optimized for viewing on a cell phone.

Real Estate Video Marketing

Video is one of the most viral forms of marketing. As websites like YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler and WellcomeMat continue to make video sharing easier for users, video marketing continues to see rapid expansion and popularity in just about every industry.

The real estate industry, in particular, has been one of the industries best positioned to take advantage of the viral effects of real estate video marketing. The main reasoning behind this is that real estate transactions are highly emotional decisions. For these types of decisions to be made, homebuyers, sellers and investors need to know and see everything about the property they are interested in.

Real Estate videos help buyers, sellers and investors to make more emotional connections with properties and the agents and brokerages that represent them. Mere text or photos, on their own, do not do justice to just about any property.

Effective Ways to Use Real Estate Videos

One of the greatest things about video is that there is a lot of room for creativity. Smart marketers know that people do not want to see commercials, as we all get enough of those on television. Instead they focus their real estate video marketing efforts on creating fun, engaging, and interesting videos.       See our Example at http://www.stonepinehillestate.com/video.html
