Good Morning Earthlings!
We hope your weekend was the best. Did you know today is Earth Day? According to Wikipedia…
Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22. Worldwide, various events are held to demonstrate support for environmental protection. First celebrated in 1970, Earth Day now includes events in more than 193 countries,[1] which are coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network.[2]
On Earth Day 2016, the landmark Paris Agreement was signed by the United States, China, and some 120 other countries.[3][4][5] This signing satisfied a key requirement for the entry into force of the historic draft climate protection treaty adopted by consensus of the 195 nations present at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris.
In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco, peace activist John McConnell proposed a day to honor the Earth and the concept of peace, to first be celebrated on March 21, 1970, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. This day of nature’s equipoise was later sanctioned in a proclamation written by McConnell and signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations. A month later a separate Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson as an environmental teach-in first held on April 22, 1970. Nelson was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom award in recognition of his work.[6] While this April 22 Earth Day was focused on the United States, an organization launched by Denis Hayes, who was the original national coordinator in 1970, took it international in 1990 and organized events in 141 nations.[7][8]
Numerous communities celebrate Earth Week, an entire week of activities focused on the environmental issues that the world faces. In 2017, the March for Science occurred on Earth Day (April 22, 2017) and was followed by the People’s Climate Mobilization (April 29, 2017).
Over the last 49 years, new construction has improved and homes are more efficient. Automobile Manufacturers have provided us with more efficient and longer last cars and trucks. The cost of renewable energy sources has improved dramatically, and on my recent road trip, wind turbines were everywhere! As Sonny and Cher used to sing, “The Beat Goes On”…
Long story short, watch this YouTube Video from a little less than one year ago.
The World is not perfect, but it is better than it was, and with a little effort, we can all be a little better moving forward too!
SO, what’s with the Denver Residential Market this week according to the MLS?
New Listing (1300) This is a nice number.
Back On Market (264)
Price Increase (107)
Price Decrease (834) Let’s keep an eye on this one…
Under Contract (1555) This is another strong week!
Withdrawn (111)
Leased (35)
Sold (1078) As we creep over 1,000 per week, demand is good!
Expired (183)
Once again, as Sonny and Cher would say, “The beat goes on…”, and so does our market. No apocalyptic change is readily apparent. Sellers want to sell, Buyers want to buy. Anecdotally, one of our listings received 3 written offers this weekend. This is proof, solid communication between Broker and Seller obtains the best results, in the shortest period of time with the least amount of hassle.
So, if you are making a plan to move, buy or both, let’s sit down, talk a while and make a cohesive plan making your future so bright, you’ll need sunglasses!
Please call, 303-773-3399 and ask for Dee or Tom…tc
First of all, it is crazy to think that a 1/3 of the year has already passed. Seems like we were all together for “the holidays”, and we looked up and it was Easter.
Next, We have had the opportunity to babysit our Granddaughters. What a joy! Children are the rainbow of life,
but Grandchildren are the pot of gold! This is really is a fantastic quote. Crazy dog sitting; Our grand puppies have now become mature young men who can out run, out jump and maintain the stamina of Atlas. I never envisioned their abilities and appetites for the pure joy of running. GSPs as they are called by the insiders are simply put, Something Else!
A huge snow season and now rain are filling all the rivers and reservoirs. A good tourist season was enjoyed by our mountain resorts.
If you’ve read any of the John Steinbeck or Stan Hoig books, or for that matter enjoyed Lonesome Dove, the “Three Points Territory” of Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma were a focal point of a recent “road trip”. Sand Creek Massacre, Capulin Volcano and the Sante Fe Trail really wrap this narrative into a a tidy little knot! The scenery is harsh with unbridled beauty and surprise!
The Denver Market and our business remain strong. With the growth of inventory, we’ve even seen a year over year increase in the number of contracts. If the current trend continues through out the year, it could be a record. Rates are low and sellers are ready to move! We can’t wait to discuss your plans. Please come visit our still new office at 4949 S. Niagara Street, 80237!
Despite the cold spells in March, the entire residential market saw a seasonal simmer as spring picked up steam with real estate transactions. 
A backyard patio is the perfect place to escape the summer heat, lounge on a sunny weekend day, or have some friends over for a BBQ. But it’s been nearly a year since you’ve really used your patio and it’s likely in need of some attention. 
Whether you are training for your first or your thousandth climb, looking to join a local climbing community or just wanting to try something new, Denver has an indoor climbing gym perfectly suited for you!

How much fun is this market? It is bustin’ out all over! We are seeing multiple offers, new listing volume is approaching its seasonal peak. Contracts and Closings are near record highs. Denver is a “happening place”! Look what’s happening as reported from our MLS this week…
On Sat., May 18, the City of Lone Tree will host a free street festival with food trucks, performances, vendor booths, and music at the Sky Ridge Station (9941 Trainstation Cir., Lone Tree) from 10am to 2pm. There will be special dedications at RidgeGate and Sky Ridge stations to commemorate artwork commissioned for the line.
A number of you have been asking about all the vacant land to the north of IKEA along the I-25 corridor. Here’s what we have so far:
There is no question, we have hit the ground running into another spring selling/buying season. Buyers like bears awakening from hibernation have returned to the market again. Sellers are making those difficult “what’s next” decisions, and we are ready for you!
Can you see it? Can you feel it? It IS officially selling season!
