A home has been sitting for 45 days.

Does that automatically mean the buyer has leverage?

Not necessarily.

Days on market can be useful — but only if you understand what happened during those days.

Was the home overpriced at launch?

Has the price changed?

Has it been getting showings?

Did it already go under contract?

What else is competing with it now?

Because 45 days with no interest is a very different situation from 45 days with strong activity, a previous contract, and a recent repositioning.

A price reduction tells you what the seller changed.

Days on market tells you how the market responded.

Together, they tell a much clearer story.

Days on market is a signal.

It is not the strategy.

Good negotiation comes from understanding what is actually happening behind the number.

Most things I say yes to do not feel expensive when I say yes to them.

A meeting.
An opportunity.
Helping somebody.
Another idea.
Something that might lead somewhere.

The yes takes about two seconds.

The cost usually shows up later.

That is what I have been thinking about lately.

Because sometimes the choice is not between something good and something bad.

Sometimes it is between two things you actually care about.

And saying yes to one quietly decides what the other one gets.

Less time.
Less attention.
Less energy.

Sometimes the things I say are most important get whatever is left of me.

That is the part I am trying to become more honest about.

I still want a full life.

I still want the opportunities.
The movie.
The business.
The acting.
The family time.
The growth.

I just want to get better at understanding the trade before I make it.

Because every yes costs something.

And maybe the better question is:

What does this yes cost somebody, or something, I already said yes to?

A price reduction does not automatically mean the seller is desperate.

The home may have been overpriced.

The market may have pushed back.

New competition may have changed the picture.

Or the seller may be repositioning the home to generate fresh activity.

The important question is not:

“How much lower can we go?”

It is:

“Why did the price change, and what does that tell us about our leverage?”

How long has the home been sitting?

Has it reduced more than once?

What else is competing with it?

Did activity change after the reduction?

A lower list price means the situation changed.

Good negotiation starts with understanding what that change actually tells you.

If you’re thinking about buying, that is the kind of context you want before deciding what to offer.

There’s a specific few seconds I’ve started paying attention to.

Right after I pull into the garage.

Before I get out of the car.

The car goes quiet.

And for a few seconds…

nobody needs me to be anything.

Most of my life is built around showing up.

For clients.
For family.
For the movie.
For work.
For the people I love.

And I’m proud of that.

But lately I’ve been thinking about what’s underneath all of those roles.

The part of me that loves acting.
Sports.
Family.
Faith.
The things that don’t need me to solve anything.

Because being needed can feel a lot like being loved.

But they’re not always the same thing.

I don’t want to stop being dependable.

I just don’t want usefulness to become the only way I recognize myself.

So sometimes I sit there a little longer.

No problem to solve.
No role to play.
No answer to give.

Just to see who shows up.

There are houses you buy knowing you’ll spend the next few years updating them.

This isn’t one of them.

Welcome to 6942 W 68th Place in Arvada — a fully renovated home designed to let the next owner move in and start living.

New kitchen. Updated bathrooms. New flooring. Fresh paint. New appliances. A new roof. Finished living space downstairs. And a quiet backyard with no direct rear neighbor.

The work has already been done.

Now it is ready for its next chapter.

📍 6942 W 68th Place | Arvada, CO

Open House this Saturday from 10 AM–2 PM.

Come see it in person, walk the space, and get a feel for everything this home has to offer.

Can’t make the open house? Send me a message and I’ll get you the details.

An inspection report can be long.

That does not mean your repair request should be.

The goal is to figure out what actually matters.

Safety.

Major systems.

Real cost.

And anything that materially changes what you believed you were buying.

A failing furnace is not the same conversation as a scratched cabinet.

An electrical safety issue is not the same conversation as an older appliance that still works.

Good inspection negotiations are not about asking for everything.

They are about knowing what matters enough to ask for.

And sellers should not dismiss legitimate concerns just because the home is not brand new.

If you are thinking about buying, this is the kind of conversation you want to understand before you are ever under contract.

There are days when nothing is actually wrong…

and somehow the whole day still feels like it is on hold.

A call you’re waiting on.
An answer you want.
A number you’re trying to reach.
Something you hope changes soon.

And meanwhile, there is still an actual life happening right in front of you.

That’s what I’ve been thinking about lately.

How easy it is to turn the present into a hallway…
something you walk through on the way to the place you actually want to be.

But some of these ordinary days may eventually become the ones we would give almost anything to revisit.

I still want the answers.
I still want progress.
I still want more.

I just don’t want to realize someday that I spent today waiting for my life to begin.

Buyers often think the right offer is just about finding the right number.

It isn’t.

A home that has been sitting for 45 days with multiple price reductions should be approached very differently from one that listed yesterday with several interested buyers.

A strong offer strategy should consider what the market supports, how much competition there is, and how much that particular home matters to you.

Sometimes the right move is to negotiate aggressively.

Sometimes it is to protect the opportunity.

And sometimes the smartest move is to walk away.

The goal is not simply to “win” the negotiation.

It is to make the decision that gives you the best chance at the outcome you actually want.

If you’re getting close to making an offer, I’m always happy to help you think through the strategy.

I used to think hope meant believing things were going to work out.

Now I think it might look more like continuing to participate in your life when you have no idea how it ends.

There are a lot of things I want answers to right now.

Recovery.
The movie.
Business.
The next opportunity.
The things I’m building.

I don’t have guarantees for any of them.

But tomorrow morning, I’ll probably turn the light on again.

Make the pre-workout.
Put the shoes on.
Make another call.
Open the script.
Show up.

Not because I know what happens next.

Because I’m still here for whatever does.

For a long time, I treated 40 like a deadline.

A point by which certain things were supposed to be settled, secure, or already accomplished.

Instead, I arrived here with dreams still being built, responsibilities I never could have predicted, and a life that looks different from the one I imagined.

But I also arrived with more clarity.

I care less about appearing successful and more about building something meaningful.

I still want the career, the film, the growth, the health, the freedom, and the life I know I am capable of creating.

The ambition is still there.

It has just become more honest.

Forty does not feel like arrival.

It feels like waking up to what actually matters.
