First Time Homebuyers are Double!

Higher for longer interest rates, rising home prices, and what feels like no "good" inventory has made buying a home for anyone tough, especially first time home buyers with no departing primary equity to lean on. Despite challenges, these fighters made a notable jump in the first quarter of the 2024. Maxwell data shows the first-time home buyer loan share grew by 13% year-over-year and 18% quarter-over-quarter, with loan counts rising twice as fast as the overall market in Q1. The first-time home buyer share is now at its highest level seen in any quarter since Maxwell started tracking this data hitting 27.53% of mortgaged purchases.

First time homebuyers are determined to get into homeownership with 25-34 year-olds making up 46% of the first time homebuyers. Over half (57%) were unmarried and almost 40% were female!

FEELING overwhelmed, scared or confused? Let's have a strategy session! We can discuss down payment assistance programs, budgets, buydown options, and all the ways your earnest money is protected.

Don't let today's higher rates be the obstacle. Homeownership is a catalyst for building wealth for people from all walks of life. In 2019, homeowners in the U.S. had a median net worth of $255,000, while renters had a net worth of just $6,300 (CBNC). That's a difference of 40x between the two.

Let's help you BUILD A PATH TO HOMEOWNERSHIP.

P.S. Denver rents were up 0.8% in May.

Let's talk!

As you may have heard, SB 238 passed offering "some" reduction in value as it pertains to property taxes! Per a call to the assessors office this morning, this is not currently reflected in your property value on the assessors website, nor in the current estimated tax that will be payable in 2024.

Do you have a high schooler, college or graduate student, or newly employed young professional - whether Gen Z or millennial - who would benefit from understanding the opportunity that exists with investing in real estate from a young age? We invite you to bring or send your kiddos (or adult grandkids!) for a night geared toward teaching them about investing in real estate now. Instead of wasting money on rent, they can purchase their first home and rent the bedrooms out to their friends, getting into the value appreciation game early. If you think values have gone up since you bought your first home, just imagine the opportunities for young adults today if they start early. We will be providing food, so send them for dinner!

**PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS**

🚨The appeal period is from May 1st, 2023 - June 8th, 2023. Do not miss the deadline! 🚨

Property Tax Assessment forms have started to arrive in mailboxes. This is a re-appraisal year (happens every 2 years) and you should prepared for a little shock to the system. We are all going through it!

The assessor's office uses appraisal data from June of 2022 before the increase in interest rates. This change is effective for the 2023 tax year payable in 2024. If you disagree with the change in value, you have a right to appeal.

Please message me if you'd like help with the appeal process and determining value. I'd be happy to assist.

Another thing to note 📝 BIG value changes likely mean BIG changes in EQUITY. If you'd also like to discuss ways to utilize that equity to leverage your real estate goals, I'm here for those discussions too! 🏠

It was quite a journey to find them a home last year in a market VERY different than the one we are in today. They used a cash buyer program to purchase, which helped them to rise above competing offers and WIN! Happy ONE YEAR Home Anniversary!

✨Happy 1 year Home Anniversary Matt & Christy!✨

I met with these clients in June. They were finally able to make their move in October, gave me the keys to stage and make it market ready. A LOT happened in the market place between June-October. Having conversations around limited activity and price reductions wasn't easy but we did it. We had weekly communication and HEAVY monitoring of what was going on - new listings, what was going under contract and why, what was selling and how long it took. My clients trusted me as their advisor. We found the sweet spot with pricing and received FIVE offers! Congratulations to my sweet clients and thank you for your trust in me to guide you through the process!

UNDER CONTRACT!!!!

Congratulations to my seller on getting their home under contract! So excited for you both!
