Affordable housing for aged-out foster care children could be coming to Denver

Adams County is proposing an affordable housing complex that could house up to 400, with 12 units set aside specifically for children that have aged out of the foster care system. The thought is to have a safe, stable place to land for the kids that have grown up in this community and call Denver home. The old Child & Family Services center will be renovated, along with new construction to make 116 one, two and three bedroom affordable units. Final approval and groundbreaking could take place later in 2019 with the first tenants possibly moving in 2021.

Bathroom tile trends

Color is making a comeback in the tile game. While there is still a place for white subway tile, it is not necessarily viewed as the only choice when tiling these days. Geometric, patterned, herringbone laid- the creative possibilities for tile are endless.

Denver home sellers are missing the mark on listing price

According to a recent article in The Denver Post, more home sellers are having to accept offers below their original listing price. Some points to note:

  • Jill Schafer, chairwoman of the market trends committee says ““If you aren’t getting offers in the first two weeks, time to make a price adjustment.”
  • DMAR’s counts show that only 17.3 percent of the homes sold in January went for above the initial list price, while 60 percent went under it.
  • A listing that stumbles out of the gate can prove costly in money and frustrations. Listings that linger are at first viewed as stale, then not worth bothering with, and eventually as defective.
  • Schafer said there remains a strong seller’s market for homes under $450,000 and properties closer into Denver. Those are the most likely to still get offers above the list price. Move higher up in price or further out into the suburbs, and buyers have more power.
