Getting divorced? Don’t forget about the house. 🏡

For many couples, the home is one of the biggest assets they own — and one of the biggest decisions they’ll have to make.

What happens to that low interest rate?
Do you sell?
Does one person keep it?
Can someone assume the mortgage?

Every situation is different, but understanding your options before making a decision can help you avoid costly mistakes.

If you’re going through a divorce in Colorado and have questions about your home, I’m here to help you understand your options.

First-time buyers once purchased homes at ages 29–33. Today, the median age is a record 40. Younger Millennials accounted for just 11% of buyers in 2025, highlighting growing barriers.

Everyone keeps waiting for the next 2008 housing crash… but the market today is completely different.

A lot of people ask:

“Are home prices going to crash?”

But the biggest difference between today and 2008 is this:

In 2008, the housing market collapsed because of bad loans, risky lending, and millions of homeowners who were forced to sell.

Today, the situation is different.

A huge number of homeowners are sitting on historically low mortgage rates:

🏠 Many have rates around 3–4% or lower
📉 Many have built significant equity
🔒 Many have fixed payments they don’t want to give up

So the question becomes:

“Why would someone sell their home with a 3% mortgage just to buy another home with a 6–7% mortgage?”

For many homeowners, moving could mean replacing an affordable payment with a much higher one.

That creates what’s called the “lock-in effect.”

And that’s one of the biggest reasons inventory has stayed low:

⬇️ Fewer homeowners list their homes
⬇️ Less inventory available for buyers
🔥 More competition for desirable homes
📈 Helps support home prices

Now, does this mean housing can’t go down?

No.

A recession, job losses, or major economic changes could still impact the market.

But a repeat of 2008 would likely require something similar:

❌ Massive foreclosures
❌ Millions of forced sellers
❌ Bad lending practices

And that’s not what we’re seeing today.

The bigger challenge right now isn’t a flood of homes hitting the market…

It’s that many homeowners are staying put because their current mortgage is too good to walk away from.

The same low rates that helped people buy years ago are now one of the biggest reasons inventory is so limited today.

🍾🥂Congratulations to the Herrera family on purchasing their beautiful 5 bed, 3 car garage, ranch style home with a finished basement!

When we first met in February we gave them the game plan, they followed it, and executed it exactly how we designed it for them!

This home wasn’t on our radar at first… until we saw this one in person, we fell in love with the home 😂 I’d buy this home too!

They knew exactly what they were looking for and we were able to act quickly before anyone else saw how well taken care of the home is! We were able to have the seller pay for all closing costs! Overall we had a smooth process with title work, inspection, HOA, insurances, and everything else that goes with buying a home as it should 😄

Thank you guys for trust and congratulations again! 🥳🥳

Muchas felicidades a la familia Herrera por la compra de su nueva casa!! 🥳🥳

Cuando nos juntamos en Febrero les dimos un plan para comprar casa y ellos siguieron el plan y hicieron todo exactamente como lo habíamos preparado. 🙌🏼

Esta casa al principio no estaba en nuestra lista… y cuando vimos esta en persona nos enamoramos 😂 La verdad yo también compraría esta casa!

Actuamos rapido antes de que otros la vieran y como ellos ya sabían lo que buscaban hicimos todo lo posible y también logramos que el vendedor pagara todos los costos de cierre.

Todo salió muy bien con el proceso como el título, inspección, HOA, seguro y todo lo demás que viene con comprar una casa. Así debe ser 😄 Muchas gracias por confiar en mí.

Felicidades otra vez familia Herrera y ahora a estrenar y festejarlo con la familia 🏡🎉

🚨 The Denver housing market is doing something a lot of people aren’t expecting…

Because even with fewer homes selling… prices are still climbing. 👀

Here’s what happened in May 🏡👇

📉 Closed sales dropped 2%
4,054 homes sold compared to last year.

BUT…

📈 Home prices increased
Median price hit $615,000
⬆️ Up 3% year over year

So what does that mean?

Buyers are still active but they’re just being more careful and taking more time before making a move.

⏳ Homes are sitting slightly longer:
Median Days in MLS increased to 16 days

🏠 The bigger story:
New listings dropped 18%
Only 6,002 homes came on the market.

But demand didn’t disappear…

🔥 Pending sales actually increased 5%

Translation:

The market is NOT frozen.

✅ Buyers have more negotiating power than the past few years
✅ Sellers need better pricing and presentation
✅ Well-priced homes are still moving

The Denver market is becoming more strategic.
