Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program using Granite Colorado FHA 203k Renovation Loans.Many people are not aware of a special government loan program that is part of the Federal Housing Administration or FHA (a department within HUD). A buyer or existing home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their existing home without having a higher cost second lien thanks to this special FHA loan program.However, this loan program doesn't allow for "luxury items" in your home such as a swimming pool, hot tub, or other accessories. Although, you can repaint, replace flooring and appliances, add a room to an existing structure (which can add to value tremendously as you increase the square feet of your home) as well as remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms.Thi... 09/17/2019

Being a Turret CO First Time Homebuyer makes you have to consider your options before you buy.

So today we took a road trip to Salida Colorado. It was a beautiful drive before the storm and I had a great time talking with my father about the history of that area. When we decided, it was time to eat we stopped by a place called Highway 50 Burger. It was amazing! I had the Fifty Burger and it was delicious also they had one of the best milkshakes ever! I don’t get over that way too often but I think when I go that direction and am hungry I am going to stop in there. It is so convenient right off Highway 50!  03/28/2017

Shedding a Little Light on 2016 Salida Area Home Sales There is a hubub around the country with respect to the market. Most areas are either flattening or beginning a downward turn. As we say, a "Shift is Happening". Our market has followed the Denver market slooooowly. 3 years after Denver started soaring, we woke up, stretched and began recovering at a leisurely pace. This report will first address Salida Colorado Market Trends and Home prices.  The second part of the report will address trends in our surrounding sister communities.The first quarter of 2016 is showing mixed trends for the Salida area. For example, a sign of a seller's (favors sellers) market is when inventory is decreasing. As you can see below, March was a bit of an anomaly. We are still decreasing in inventory but M... 04/17/2016

Who took my Salida Real Estate Market Crystal Ball? It is quite annoying when I misplace something like my Real Estate Market crystal ball....Especially when I need to to interpret our market which is NOT marching to the drum of the rest of the nation.  For the past 4 years, markets recovered quickly. Not us. We started slowly 2 years ago and last year, make an 11% jump... fabulous in my book. Now the country is beginning to see signs of a downward shift. Last month I said... NOT US!  Although inventory was going up (more houses were coming onto the market than being sold), prices were still increasing.  Without my crystal ball (if you borrowed it please return, no questions asked), I can only guess. The graph following indicate pricing trends for new homes coming on the market.     Ano... 01/31/2016

Salida Colorado Home Values... Sell now or Later? In many parts of the country, the market is beginning to shift.... either leveling off or declining. Denver CO agents are alarmed.. they only are getting 5 offers on a property instead of 15 and the market time is increasing... from hours to weeks. We chuckle (albeit a bit enviously) when we here that. To see the latest report on the market, market time and prices go to Real Estate Market near Salida Colorado. Briefly, we are still improving. We do march to our own real estate drummer in Salida, a tiny undiscovered resort town of about 5500 fine folks.  Our market only started to recover about 1 1/2 years ago. the year before, we increased a healthy 6%. Last year (2015), the average home increased 11%.   In Salida and Buena Vista, reside... 01/24/2016
