Spring is Upon Us

This week marks the 1st day of spring, and I can already tell it is close with bugs flying around, flowers blooming and the sun is shining a little longer each day! I have been fortunate enough to have traveled to Holland in the spring (pre-COVID of course,) and will never forget the wonderful scent, while riding through the lavender and tulip fields. I am looking forward to traveling again but can't decide where I want to go next. How about you, is traveling on your list for 2021?
Why the Spring Selling Season
May Be Obsolete

According to an article in the National Mortgage News, "With the conditions surrounding the upcoming spring home buying season looking much like last year’s — itself a dramatic departure from the past— a new normal might be established: a sales season that lasts throughout the year." You can read the entire article here and feel free to contact me if you have any questions about buying or selling this season!
The Latest on Denver's Competitive
Housing Market

Below is a video from 9News with my Managing Broker, Lane Lyon. You'll hear his insights on the Denver market and some creative ideas on how to sweeten your offer if you are a buyer in these crazy times! Also sellers, if you are in a time crunch, you may want to consider paying for a pre-inspection so there are no surprises later. Approximately 13% of buyers are waiving inspections these days according to Redfin, but for those who want one, this can delay the process so getting one up front saves time.
Where is McGregor Square?

The next time you head to a Rockies game, you may notice McGregor Square which started being built about 3 years ago and will open in phases by the end of the month. It will have a condos, offices, retail spaces, a food hall, hotel and an outdoor plaza at the corner of 20th and Wazee. Condo residents will be the first to move in with at least three restaurants and a coffee shop opening by early May. There will also be a Rockies Hall of Fame, batting cages, a gym, and some indoor simulators for golf, baseball, hockey and more! Sounds like a great place for all ages to enjoy and it will be great to see a game again.

Have You Entered the Door Dash Contest?

There is still time to enter our Door Dash Give Away Contest. As a reminder, we are giving away 75 Door Dash gift cards to support our local restaurants!
