Given the doom and gloom marketed over the past several years by the media, this is good information for the prospective buyer and the economy in general.  While the Alma, Fairplay and Breckenridge, Colorado areas can sometimes be a bit off the national trend, we are seeing an increase in Buyer activity as the number of both vacant land and home sales continues to rise.  Prices are still very favorable for Buyers, and it is a great time to buy real estate in Park County or Summit County!

This ‘green’ home used almost all of the lumber reclaimed from the original structures in the “new” house, leaving a historic feel in a warm, efficient & modern home. New detached garage. Spectacular lot with city utilities. 

Walk to National Forest Trails and to the shops and restaurants in town. Just 16 miles from Breckenridge!

Some of the other green building practices used include:

• 100% cotton recycled denim insulation (higher R-Value than synthetic fiberglass of the same thickness and utilizes no fiberglass, chemicals or formaldehyde).
• Low VOC, eco friendly water based interior paints.
• All new windows are double pane, insulated, and wood framed. Custom storm windows built from reclaimed wood have been installed on the original single pane windows that remain.
• Water based stain and natural wax used on all of the wood floors and wood trim work. The sellers chose not to use any chemical-based products.
• All water is heated through insta-hot systems, thus conserving energy and money and always having a constant supply of hot water.
• Kitchen counters are made of Silestone, which takes scrap pieces of granite that would otherwise be discarded into landfills, grinds them up and produces a more environmentally friendly alternative to granite countertops. Unlike granite, it doesn’t scratch or stain, and is not heat sensitive.
• Reclaimed hardware and plumbing fixtures used in various installations throughout the house. New toilet designed to minimize water usage.
• The back yard deck was saved and reused from it’s original installation behind the 1934 addition.
• The stone used in the retaining wall around the front porch came entirely from loose stone that was on the property.
• The roof system throughout is a standing seam aluminum roof.  There are 4 inches of insulation and a 2 inch vented cold roof space above the ventilation, but below the aluminum.  This provides excellent thermal and sound insulation, while virtually eliminating the heating of the aluminum roof that can cause snow melt and ice damming.
• Heating is provided by a highly efficient Hydro-Sil silicone element electric baseboard system that is much more efficient than traditional baseboard heaters. It is also extremely quiet. 

This home is truly worth seeing!

• Year Built: Original structure was built somewhere around 1900 with an addition built in 1934. The current owners did a COMPLETE and major remodel to the entire house PLUS added an addition and a new garage, all between the years of 2006 – 2010 or so.

The latest figures show that 89 percent of buyers purchased their home with the help of a real estate agent or broker. This is a sharp increase from a decade ago in 2001, when only 69 percent of buyers enlisted the help of a Broker.

Here are a few of the many reasons a Broker can be your biggest ally: 

First, Brokers are licensed professionals, which means they had to complete coursework and pass an exam in order to become a Broker. They have the education and experience to help you navigate what will be one of the biggest purchases of your life.

They also have access to a wide range of properties and can guide you to those that are the best fit for you, which can save you time and energy. If you are unsure what type of property you’re interested in, a Broker can help explain the pros and cons of things such as condo life versus single-family detached living, etc.  They can also ease the burden of buying by simplifying the process for you. They set up showings, drive you to appointments if needed, and help you handle the intricacies of negotiations and the complex contract process straight on through closing. 

Today’s market also presents challenges that simply weren’t present or didn’t dominate the market a decade ago. Buyers are faced with some great deals, but through some complicated channels, such as short sale or foreclosure. How does one handle these sort of contracts? Your Broker will know.

According to NAR, “More than ever home buyers are relying on real estate agents and brokers to help them with their home purchase regardless of whether the home they are buying is a foreclosure, short sale, or even a FSBO sale because they need a real estate agent to help them through the process.”

Finally, buyers are unsure if now is really a good time to buy. They need to rely on someone with local market knowledge. Is this a good neighbor to invest in? Are prices still dropping in this community? How long do homes take to sell? What is the median selling price? Buyers want the best deal out there.

If you are considering entering buying a home this year, be sure to strongly consider using a real estate Broker. They could be your biggest ally.
