Joyful Housewalk

All hail the new queen Quartz Countertops! Granite is out and Quartz is in! Coming up of Episode 15 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 15- Quartz Countertops

Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- 

Options is the word for week. There are 3 attached properties priced under $200k! And 41 properties priced under $300k! In total there are 239 active attached properties on the market. The story is not quite the same for the detached properties there at only 33 properties price from 300-400k, which still tends to be the most popular buying bracket. And a total 1155 active properties on the market. But I do have some good news. Generally, Easter weekend is a very slow weekend because buyers take the weekend off so there is less competition for getting offers accepted. 

What’s Hot!

For years and years Granite was king as the update homeowners and buyers alike wanted to see in their kitchens. Everyone oowed and ahhed. And over the last few years I yawned. I am so tired of granite and seeing it in homes and marketed as a high end feature. Fabricators have figured out a way to make granite thinner and keep the cost down so lots of people can afford it. Which don’t get me wrong, it’s better than travertine. But I’m a little tired of it. Enter in the new queen… quartz. Whenever people ask me what to put in I always will say anything but granite and quartz is just a little bit more than granite and has such a unique look, I swoon. Last year it was named most popular countertop…. You know that means, I’m going to get sick of it soon too!

Tip of the Day-

Don’t put in granite.

Truth or Fail-

What’s the worst excuse you have ever heard for a buyer backing out of a contract?

One More Thing- 

When buying a house first a buyer does an inspection, then once that’s resolved the buyer pays for an appraisal, at this point you are 2 ½-3 weeks into a transaction. With Keller Mortgage and the Zero Plus Program they give $1000 for third party fees i.e. the appraisal since it’s not on the buyers dime they order the appraisal immediately. LIke my buyer who went under contract on Monday had an inspection on Thursday and the appraiser came to the property on Saturday.

Episode 14- Two toned Cabinets

Not one color but two colors for kitchen cabinets? Yep! Coming up of Episode 14 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 14- Two Toned Cabients

Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- 

It’s the end of the 1st quarter of 2019 and I am going to do a quick recap of total sales for the entire Denver Metro area. 

From Jan to March there were 6,198 active properties on the market, 7,819 properties under contract, and 13,125 properties closed. The average closed price was $458,500 and the average days on market was 52. We are still in a seller’s market and properties that are priced right are going under contract!

What’s Hot!

Two toned kitchen cabinets! I was showing a house yesterday and my clients commented on the kitchen and that it had two colors on the upper and lower cabinets. It’s totally popular right now to have a dark cabinet on the bottom and then a light color on the top. If you have an island it is commonly the color of the lower cabinets. The house that we were looking at, and that they are buying congrats guys! Had a really really pretty dark blue lower cabinet that had a bit of black in it and white upper cabinets. The only thing I would add, which I am sure these clients could and quite possibly would add are some floating shelves!

Tip of the Day-

If your cabinets are olders and maybe the builder oak cabinets go ahead and give them a coat of paint or two different colors of paint. The trick is to sand the heck out of the cabinets first and use a really good primer and paint. We painted our cabinets when we purchased our current house in 2014 and they still look great thanks to Benjamin Moore Advance Paint. No this isn’t an ad it really is just amazing paint and I want you to know about it!    

Truth or Fail-

What’s the best paint for landlords and house flippers?

One More Thing- 

So I have a quick success story for Keller Mortgage. A buyer recently closed on a property and save upwards of $5000. Because the buyer was saving so much money they were able to buy down their already competitive interest rate not once but twice! If you would like to learn more about Zero Plus mortgage reach out to me and I can give you all the details about saving money!

What’s Hot!

It’s just a little something for what’s hot this week. And it can easily be changed without much of an investment or modifications to your house! It’s gold candle holders! Not the boring candle holders that my grandma has but candle holders with shapes and lines and are interesting to look at! Put them on the shelf and your room is instantly taken up a notch with trendy gold! I will put a picture on my instagram so you can see what I can talk about @realtorjoyfraser

Tip of the Day-

Stop buying things! Buyers and sellers stop buying everything. I know I just told you about these cute gold candle holders but if you are selling your house you need to start purging everything and remove 60% of what is currently in your home! Buyers do you really want to pack up another box of knick knacks to move… no you don’t. So until you get settle in to your new home or sell your home, which I can help you purchase, let’s put the shopping at Home Goods on hold.

Truth or Fail-

Tell about your most uncomfortable closing ever?

One More Thing- 

I have a new listing at 9112 Chatfield Drive in Littleton! 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and almost 3800 sq ft. Anyone interested can call me at 303.781.1401 to see this property and with this property Keller Mortgage Zero Plus Loan is available so buyers can get no loan origination fees, processing fee, underwriting fee and $1000 credit at closing for third party fees.

Episode 12- Custom Dog Crates!

Make your furry friend’s dog kennel an eye pleasing piece of furniture instead of big piece of plastic! Coming up of Episode 12 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 12- Custom Dog Crates!

7 Day Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- 

The boundaries for these stats are Arapahoe Rd. Santa Fe at an angle to include Roxbourgh. The south is to include Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth. Then on the east we go up through the country to include Parker and South Aurora. 

Attached Properties. The original list price to sold price for the last 30 days was 98.61%. And the median sale price was $326,699 and the average days on market was 19 days. 48 properties went UC in the last 7 days. 51 sold.

What’s Hot!

Dog crates that are no longer a big piece of plastic or metal taking up precious space in your home. You can go one of two ways… build it yourself or order it custom. These crates are all wood, painted or stained to a color that works for you. Some even have barn doors and drawers for storage on top. Now we have two furry friends, Canoe and Seven and they love their kennel, dogs are den dwelling animals after all and some of these kennels are large enough for two dogs and have a divider in the middle so they each have their own space. I am loving it! Most commonly I have seen it as an entertainment center or a side table. This is one piece of furniture that is our my short list of additions to our house. Mr. Fraser do you want to build it or buy it? 

Tip of the Day-

When you are selling your house and you have a furry friend it’s really important to remove all the toys, beds, and food and water bowls. The animal can stay in the home if it is contained and not in the way of the people that are visiting. Really the last thing that buyers want is an animal rushing up to them and causing delay in getting into the home. So please put your animals in a kennel or outdoor in an animal run. If you are a buyer and can’t purchase a home with animals b/c of allergies let your agent know so they can investigate prior to looking at homes.

Truth or Fail-

What’s the most embarrassing thing you have walked in on during a showing a home?

One More Thing- 

I am so excited to tell you about a lender that partners with Keller Williams agents it’s called, Keller Mortgage, with this lender I can show you how you can save thousands on your purchase. The Zero Plus Loan does not charge an origination fee, underwriter fee, processor fee, transaction fees, rate lock fee, etc! And they also give a $1,000 credit back at closing, which will cover the cost of your Appraisal. It does sound too good to be true and there is one catch… you knew it there had to be a catch…. It is exclusive to Keller Williams transactions. If you are in Colorado I can send you the loan application and you can get started right away. If you are outside of Colorado I can get you paired up with a  KW agent so you can utilize this awesome lending program. Visit kellermortgage.com, Keller Mortgage NMLS ID #140234.

-207 Attached Properties on the market. And would you believe it the lowest price property is 720 sq ft and $153k! 1/1 had new carpet and fresh paint! No laundry but for $153k in Denver Metro you can’t expect laundry.

97 properties sold in the last 7 days and the median price was $500k and the median size was 4/3 and 3262 total sqft. 

What’s Hot!

I was in New Orleans last week for a conference and while I was there we did some sightseeing and a walking tour or two. My mouth drooled over the gas lanterns on what felted like almost every home. The flame burning 24 hours a day, I am in love! I should also disclose that in general I love southern architecture probably from my time I spend in Hilton Head on a summer internship and also visiting my sister when she was at college at the University of Alabama with Big Al. There are just so many elements to the homes that I love. But by far my favorite is the gas light! One morning we were walking around waiting for a table for breakfast and across the street I saw the Holy Grail. Gas Lanterns all lined up. Could it be? It was… A shop called Bevolo and they sold Gas Lanterns and guess what they ship! And guess what else, the lanterns start at $600… they go up to $3000 but they start at $600! I talked to the salesperson for a minute and all I have to do is get a plumber to run a gas line to my lantern location… Oh is it that easy… and I bet really cheap too? Find them @bevolo on Instagram

Tip of the Day-

If you also decide that you want to add a gas lantern to your home do it the right way and get a professional to do the work. Gas and electric are both categories in homes sales we don’t like to mess with, you know because of death and fire. It is also a really great idea to get HOA approval if you live in a covenant community. It would really stick if you went to all the trouble to put in a drool worthy lamp and then the HOA came and said take it down you didn’t ask first. And yes they can do that, even if it looks amazing! That’s our tip of the day.   

Truth or Fail-

What’s one thing you swoon over when showing a home?

Can you  guys believe that wallpaper is back? It is and it has me all kinds of happy. It makes me want to cover up my Revere Pewter walls and put a geometric shape or big blue whales in my bathroom! I found some websites that are selling amazing wallpaper designs and honestly I can’t believe wallpaper ever went out of style. I think the designs are amazing now bc of the way graphic designs can do some many amazing things with computer design. My mom will be relieved bc now she doesn’t need to take down her “I hate laundry” wallpaper that went up in her laundry room in 1978. You think I’m joking…. I’m not. It’s still there. That’s what’s hot.

Tip of the Day-

Try peel and stick wallpaper! It goes on super easy, as long as you keep the paper lined up, there is no glue mess and it comes off really easy too. Homeowners spark some emotion in a room with a surprise and put up some wallpaper! Renters you don’t need to feel left out either… since peel and stick wallpaper goes up and comes down so easy enjoy the time you have in your rental and make an amazing room! 

Truth or Fail-

If you were the queen of real estate what would your number 1 rule be?

I am so excited to tell you about a lender that partners with Keller Williams agents it’s called, Keller Mortgage, with this lender I can show you how you can save thousands on your purchase.

You have to work with a Keller Williams agent, like me! Or buy a Keller Williams listing. If you are in Colorado I can send you the loan application and you can get started right away. If you are outside of Colorado I can get you paired up with a  KW agent so you can utilize this awesome lending program.

Episode 9- Open Shelving

Are you plates pretty enough to be seen everyday by your visitors? Because today we are talking about open shelving and what you put on them! Coming up of Episode 9 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 9- Open Shelving.

7 Day Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- 

The boundaries for these stats are Arapahoe Rd. Santa Fe at an angle to include Roxbourgh. The south is to include Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth. Then on the east we go up through the country to include Parker and South Aurora. 

Attached Properties has stayed just about the same this week with 218 active properties on the market. The least expensive the same one in Parker! It’s priced at $194,900 (2/1 770 sq ft and built in 1973). The most expensive is a new home in Englewood priced just over 1 million (3/5 4424 sqft.). The median price of homes on the market is $386,033. 48 went UC in last 7 days, which is about the same as last week. 16 closed in last 7 days which is down 11 more than last week. And the average sold price in the last 6 months was $324,500.

-893 Detached Properties on the market which is 38 less properties from last weeks report. 166 went UC in last 7 days, which is holding steady to last week. 82 properties sold in last 7 days. And the average sold price in the last 6 months was $495,000. If the same amount of properties went under contract but we are lower by about 40 properties, which was true for last week too, that means there are less properties for sale and the same amount of buyers out there bidding. Sellers-- buyers want your houses!

The least expensive home is a new one in Parker (3/2 1,666 sqft) and it’s in a neighborhood with no HOA and has some updating but is ready for your touch! The median price of all the homes on the market is $629,970 which is almost $10k more than last week! For $630 you can get a great home in the Southlands area that boasts 5000 sqft with 5/6 and built in 2006. 

What’s Hot!

Well if you’re ready for a change then it’s time to take out those upper cabinets and replace them with open shelving in your kitchen. Earlier this year we talked about how a trend in 2019 was going to be full wall backsplash. I am going to go a step further and say a full wall backsplash and then open shelving! Pick a wall in your kitchen, take out the upper cabinets, add a full backsplash then choose some nice wood and stain and brackets. Next layer two or three shelves on each other. What do you put on these shelves? Well I would put my plates, bowls, maybe a plant, a few cookbooks. Open shelving is what’s hot this week.

Tip of the Day-

If you don’t want to take your cabinet box down how about you take the doors off, paint the inside and use that as open shelving? Or take the doors off and replace them with glass doors? You will be changing the look of the cabinet without the commitment of removing the whole cabinet box.

Episode 8- Fiddle Leaf Fig

According to the Phil spring is coming early so we are talking about my favorite spring plant, the Fiddle Leaf Fig! Coming up of Episode 8 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report. Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 8- Fiddle Leaf Fig.

7 Day Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- 

The boundaries for these stats are Arapahoe Rd. Santa Fe at an angle to include Roxbourgh. The south is to include Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth. Then on the east we go up through the country to include Parker and South Aurora. 

Attached Properties are down by 17 homes on the market to 220 active listings. The least expensive is a new one in Parker! It’s priced under $200k at $194,900 (2/1 770 sq ft and built in 1973). The most expensive is the same new construction home in Castle Pines priced at  $890k (4/3 2835 sqft.). 51 went UC in last 7 days, which is 14 more than last week. 27 closed in last 7 days which is 17 more than last week. And of all of the sold properties in the last 6 months the list price to sold price 99.77% and the days of market was 19. 

-931Detached Properties on the market which is down by more than 41 properties from last weeks report.The least expensive home is in Elizabeth (3/3 1,940 sqft) and it has the best red door! And you know what they say about houses with red doors? Well hire me to be your real estate agent and I will tell you!  And the most expensive home still hasn’t changed, including price improvements. The median price of all the homes on the market is $620k. For $620 you can get a great home in Lone Tree which is a centrally located neighborhood that might need some updating but it’s (4/3 3871 sqft with a 10,000 sqft lot). 160 went UC in last 7 days, which has an uptick of 39 additional homes going under contract. 115 sold in last 7 days so there is an increase of 62 properties that sold this week. And of all of the sold properties in the last 6 months the list price to sold price 99.17% and the days of market was 26. 

What’s Hot!

Fiddle Leaf Fig plants are what’s hot right now. If you are on any photo sharing website and looking at home decor then I bet you have seen a Fiddle Leaf Fig in the background you just might not have known it. They have giant leafs that can instantly give a room color, life, and complete it all together. I should warn you, they are a little tricky to keep. So if real plants aren’t your thing then you can get a large faux Fiddle Leaf Fig plant for your home. If you want an easier real plant for you home to welcome spring I really recommend the snake plant also known as the mother-in-laws tongue. It needs water every few weeks not that much sunlight which makes them so tolerante for many owners. 

Tip of the Day-

When you are selling your home get greenery and put it in your home. Get house plants that you like and can move with you to your next home, on your kitchen table or island a big bowl of green apples and at the front door nothing beats the curb appeal and welcoming someone to your home like two giant boston ferns! Buyers, if you are in a rental get a house plant and enjoy it in your rental and then bring it with you to your new home. It will instantly give warmth to your new space!

If all agents were forced to wear a warning label, what would yours say?

Black. Black in your kitchen. Black in your bathroom. It’s all about black metals… Coming up of Episode 7 of South Metro Denver Real Estate Report**Music** Recording from South Denver where the real estate market fluctuates as much as our weather this is South Metro Denver Real Estate Report and I am your host Joy Fraser licensed broker and owner of Colorado Luxury Houses powered by Keller Williams. This is Episode 7- Black Metals!

7 Day Real Estate Report for South Metro Denver- 

The boundaries for these stats are Arapahoe Rd. Santa Fe at an angle to include Roxbourgh. The south is to include Castle Rock, Franktown, and Elizabeth. Then on the east we go up through the country to include Parker and South Aurora. 

-237 Attached Properties on the market which is up from the last report. The least expensive is back to the condo in Parker at $207,900 (1/1 773 sq ft which is $36k more than the least expensive from last week. The most expensive is the same  new construction home in Castle Pines priced at  $890k (4/3 2835 sqft.). The HOA is $419/mo. The median price for homes on the market has made a significant jump from $369,900 to $384,608 and that is because a builder recently listed quite a few new construction townhouses in Castle Pines for sale. 
37 went UC in last 7 days, which a few less than what is was last week and typical b/c of the MLK Jr Holiday. 10 closed in last 7 days. And of all of the sold properties in the last 6 months the median sales price was $320,800. 

-972 Detached Properties on the market which is up 4 more properties from last weeks report. And for the detached properties there is no change for anything! I will do a quick recap though. The least expensive is the same one it’s been for a few weeks in Parker. Priced at $310,000 it’s 2/1 841 sqft. And the most expensive home and 2nd most expensive home are still the same. Priced at $12,900,000 and $4.9 million both in Parker. The 3rd most expensive home takes us out of Parker and into Castle Pines Village. It’s 5/9 12,054 sqft built in 2008.  The median price of all the homes on the market also made an almost $20k jump to $619,950 from $599,993. And again, just like in the attached properties, builders have started to list more new construction homes in the MLS.
121 went UC in last 7 days, which is consistent from last week. 53 sold in last 7 days and the holiday would account for that being down by 48 properties from last week. And of all of the sold properties in the last 6 months the median sale price was $495,000.
What’s Hot!

Recently I was charged with the task of picking out a new faucet for our house and I really wanted to go gold… I love every gold faucet I see but my kitchen just isn’t in a place to handle that style. Enter the black faucet. I like to think of a black as golds less flashy cousin that still turns heads, makes a statement, and is more than chrome, nickel, and oil rubbed bronze. My kitchen can totally handle the statement that the black faucet brings to the rooms and I bet that yours can too. That’s what’s hot!
Tip of the Day-

So the tip of the day becomes a question… Can I mix metals? Yep. All of the resources I found said, go ahead and mix those metals. If you wanted to do a gold or black something like a light, faucet, anything really and have a different metal it’s a-okay and go ahead and mix them up. So go out and pick that statement metal. That’s today’s Quick Tip of the Day.
