Boulder County
This week during our weekly meeting to discuss the status of the current real estate market and visit about strategies to help set our clients up for success, it remains clear that it is still a tight market for buyers and sellers, and that local, expert knowledge about the market is the key to success.
Single or not, buying a house isn’t an easy process for anyone, but with smart planning and informed decisions it can result in finding your dream home. But before making any decisions, consider these tips:
Scrutinize Your Finances
Don’t underestimate the importance of laying out and calculating required finances both for the purchase as well as the recurring cost associated with a home. Talk to a Mortgage Lender long before you plan to buy. They can help lay out a plan. In order to determine how much you can afford, first make sure you have enough saved for a sufficient down payment, typically 5-20%. Next, consider additional required finances such as closing cost. Further, properly estimating your recurring cost will help you to make a smart decision. Some costs to keep in mind include mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, utilities, as well as unexpected costs such as repairs. All of these costs are manageable, but being prepared will save you stress in the future.
Shop For Mortgages
I work with a preferred lender I really trust and am happy to share their contact information, but don’t be afraid of shopping around and doing your own research. You may find that the amount of the loan and interest rates vary significantly. Make sure you pick a lender that ensures a smooth closing. Online lenders may not be as invested in the local market or care as much about your referrals after the closing. Once you find the right one, be sure to get pre-approved so that you can determine your budget, and stick to it!

This year, make Mother’s Day extra special by making the mom in your life a handmade gift. Mothers don’t want or need another gift from the mall, it’s just not as special as she is. Spending hundreds of dollars getting all the tools and materials to make a gift is just too costly and takes up too much space. Pay one small fee and get all the materials and tools you need to make a beautiful and unique gift.
Choose from a collection of beautiful gift kits you can make on-site and at your own pace to honor the mom in your life. Drop-in hours available on both Saturday, May 6 and Sunday, May 7. Click here register.
Re/Max Alliance friends can use the discount code “remax5” to receive an additional $5 off the pre-registration price. Just enter the promotional code “remax5” when choosing your gift kit. Please register early, as the code is limited to the first 20 participants.

Dixon is an adorable baby! This playful pup will keep you laughing with his wiggly body and friskiness! He doesn’t appear to have much experience interacting with other dogs, and HSBV’s Training and Behavior team are helping him learn to relax in their presence. He may appreciate being the only pet in his next home, and HSBV will only rehome him to a family with children 10 years of age or older. |
Meet Liza! This lovely little lady is as sweet as they come! She’s a smart cookie who loves to learn and can’t wait to meet her new forever family. Liza is hoping to find a family with high school aged children who will love playing with her as much she loves to play with them. Take Liza on a visit today and see how fast you fall in love. Due to my physical appearance, I may experience discrimination and be unable to live in a city with Breed Specific Legislation. Watch a video of Liza here. |
