The Denver Real Estate Market Has Shifted? 📊 -

What on earth is going on in the Denver metro real estate market? Don't worry, I will answer that question for you. As you've probably heard and noticed, the Denver housing market has shifted this summer. Let’s skip the jargon and the 35 graphs and break it down in plain English:

Where Smart Investors Are Putting Their Money Right Now💵

I’ve been thinking and researching a lot lately about what a smart, secure place for cash looks like right now—and I want to share something with you that most people aren’t talking about. Most people I talk to are sitting on cash right now—not sure what to do with it.

There are easily 150-250 emails📧 sent & received during a typical real estate transaction, along with hundreds of texts💬, dozens of phone calls☎️, and lots of communication navigation to successfully get through the involved multiple stages and due diligence of a real estate transaction. It’s definitely not a walk in the park! But helping my clients step by step and seeing their happy faces at the end of perhaps the biggest purchase (or sale) of their lives is definitely the best part of being a realtor. Thank you for your raving review Emanuele! It was such a pleasure to work with you guys!

Congrats to Nick & Maggie on selling their home last month at FULL price and under contract in 2 DAYS! Enjoy that free equity!💰

Real estate🏡 + Time⏳ = Equity💰💵👇
👇👇👇

➡️ Check this out: Even homebuyers who bought a home at the WORST possible time in 2007 right before the WORST real estate crash since the 1930s(!), only had to wait till 2012 for their values to get back to 2007 levels, and a few more years for their values to DOUBLE🤯. Time is your friend in real estate⏳. You also pay down your mortgage each month (more equity for you); you can get cash flow each month with housemates/Airbnb (more cash in your pocket💵); and you get tax benefits each year (more cash in your pocket💵). Rent it out and use the cashflow to live in a cheap country for a few months🛫🏖️🗺️. The possibilities real estate gives you are endless.

And this will blow your mind: in 2022 the average net worth of renter was $10,400, and the average net worth of a homeowner was $396,200🤯💰…
