LoHi Neighborhood

January 13th, 2011

Highlands-Neighborhood-Map

LoHi (short for Lower Highlands) is a super-vibrant and exciting neighborhood that’s undergoing change at a rapid pace. LoHi is a funky shape, located between Speer Blvd/29th Ave. and 38th Ave. and between I-25 and Federal Blvd. It’s set up on a hill overlooking Riverfront Park and Commons Park just across I-25 to the east with the Highlands neighborhood behind it to the west. There’s a pedestrian bridge (built in 2006) that connects LoHi to the LoDo (Lower Downtown) area. The construction of the bridge is largely responsible for the burst of development and renovation which is causing the area to turn into a trendy hot-spot.

Residents of the LoHi area enjoy the walkability of the neighborhood and proximity to employment in Downtown Denver. There are many great restaurants, bars, night-spots, coffee houses and local boutique shops to walk to in addition to easy access to all that LoDo and Downtown have to offer.

Modern-style lofts are the new construction style of choice at the moment. Many of these are taking advantage of the incredible views of the Denver skyline, and prices remain more affordable than the LoDo lofts just across the highway.

Whittier Neighborhood

January 13th, 2011

Skyland-Neighborhood-Map

The Whittier Neighborhood is situated about two miles from downtown Denver. Its borders are York and Downing Streets, East and West, and Martin Luther King Blvd and 23rd Avenue, North and South.

This historic neighborhood is named for the elementary school located at Downing Street and 24th Avenue. The school’s name honored the nineteenth-century abolitionist poet, John Greenleaf Whittier. The legacy of John Greenleaf Whittier has lived on in the Whittier neighborhood as evidenced by the fact that the neighborhood has been racially integrated since the 1890′s, the Whittier name signifies the role the neighborhood has played in the history of segregation and integration in Denver.

The original developers of Whittier were among Denver’s earliest citizens and the Case Addition, filed in 1868, was the first subdivision platted in Whittier. The neighborhood was home to many of Denver’s finest craftsmen, who contributed to the architectural details of some of the community’s most beautiful homes. Most of the larger and more ornate residences are located on corner lots, which display their impressive details.

People love this neighborhood for it’s racial diversity and the combination of proximity to downtown, parks and a public golf course in addition to early twentieth century homes of craftsman and Victorian architecture. The “reasonable prices” are driving an influx of young professionals and their families to the Whittier neighborhood. Whittier also has a Light Rail station located at 30th and Downing.

Skyland Neighborhood

January 13th, 2011

Skyland-Neighborhood-Map

Skyland is a relatively small neighborhood bordered by Martin Luther King Boulevard to the north, East 23rd Avenue to the south, Colorado Boulevard to the east and York Street to the west. People find this area desirable because there are many near-by opportunities for outdoor recreation and because of it’s close proximity to Downtown Denver. It offers an abundance of employment opportunities within a ten-minute drive. Skyland is located east of downtown and immediately north of City Park. City Park is a huge draw to the neighborhood because it provides 330 acres of running trails, play grounds, golf, Denver Museum of Nature and Science and the Denver Zoo.

Architecturally, the neighborhood varies from bungalows to brick ranches to Tudors and classic Victorians. Skyland homes are typically located on lots with big front yards and nice wide areas of grass and large trees between the sidewalk and the street.

Denver’s Best and Worst Neighborhoods for Appreciation – 2010

January 12th, 2011

DenverAppreciationIt’s that time of year again when we look back at the market and take account of the winning and losing Denver neighborhoods. 2010 was a fairly balanced year between appreciators and depreciators. Of the 48 metro Denver neighborhoods that we track, 22 increased in value and 26 decreased. Before we open the envelopes; here’s how we calculated our numbers.

We found the median final selling price (after concessions) for 2009 and for 2010 for the 48 neighborhoods we track on this site. We then calculated the percentage increase or decrease in median price between those two years for our final number. In addition, neighborhoods with fewer than 35 home sales, for either year, were not considered for awards, but their statistics are still available on our website.  Click here to see a rank order of all 48 Denver neighborhoods.

And the award for the top appreciating Denver neighborhood for 2010 is… Skyland at 37.7%. Where??? Skyland??? 37.7%??? Skyland is located on the North side of City Park and has a median home sale price of $225,750.

Similar to 2009, Denver was still a split market in 2010. Less expensive homes, like those in Skyland, and number two North Park Hill (21.9% appreciation, median price $249,185), and number three Whittier (16.4% appreciation, median price $221,200 ), were in high demand. The home buyer tax credit expiration in April of last year certainly helped stimulate the lower end market as well.

Not surprisingly, the 2010 neighborhoods for greatest depreciation are Hilltop (-18.7%), Cherry Hills Village (-17.3%), and Bonnie Brae (-14.6%). Greenwood Village and University Park were notable exceptions to the trend by posting appreciation rates of 7.8% and 9.4% respectively.

If we did not list your neighborhood in our analysis, or you would like for us to create a market analysis for your home, just drop us a note or give us a call.

Homeowner preserves right to demolish Denver home

December 31st, 2010

One of Denver’s most posh neighborhoods has been split by plans to demolish a home and an effort to save it — using a landmark preservation ordinance — that City Councilman Charlie Brown describes as “real estate terrorism.”

The conflict began this summer when Gary Yourtz paid $1.1 million for a house in the Belcaro neighborhood and pulled a demolition permit, planning to build his dream house at 825 S. Adams St.

His plans were stalled when a preservationist and a neighbor used a provision of a city law enacted four years ago to file an eleventh-hour landmark designation application for the home.

The house is scheduled to be razed Jan. 15, but Yourtz says it cost him $18,000 to preserve that right —
Owner Gary Yourtz spent $18,000 in the legal fight.

5280 Magazine Recognizes The Cramer Group

October 8th, 2010

Lisa and Mark Cramer and Nancy Greager, award winning real estate professionals with The Cramer Group, have been named “Five Star Real Estate Agents” for 2010 by Denver’s 5280 Magazine.  The Cramers and the 2010 list of the area’s outstanding real estate agents are published in the September issue of 5280 Magazine. 

5280 Magazine contracted an independent market research company, Crescendo Business Services, to administer a rigorous research process for its Five Star Real Estate Agent award program.  More than 92,200 recent home buyers, readers of 5280 Magazine, mortgage lenders and title companies were asked to submit an evaluation to identify exceptional real estate agents in the Denver area.  A blue-ribbon panel of local real estate experts reviewed the evaluations and selected fewer than seven percent of all licensed real estate agents in the Denver area.

Denver Real Estate Market Update

October 8th, 2010

With only 86 days until 2011 here is how the 2010 central Denver real estate market is faring compared to the first three quarters of 2009.  Median home prices are up 3.7% from $335,000 to $347,500.  Average days on market have dropped from 121 days to 94 days.  Finally, inventory is moving toward a more balanced market (balanced = six months of inventory) at all price points.

Denver Housing Market Inventory

As the last few months of the year wind down we are seeing a dramatic slowdown in market activity.  Not surprisingly, seasonality plays a large part in this, but two additional factors are at play this year.

First, the upcoming election has potential home buyers uncertain, and second, the tax incentives that expired in April accelerated many home purchases to the first half of the year.  In fact, the number of homes sold in August of this year was down 21% compared to August 2009.

With interest rates hovering around 3.875%, sellers concerned that their homes have not sold, and the onset of winter and continued negative political campaigning, now is a great time to purchase a home.  Potential sellers would be wise to hold off listing their homes until after the election and as we move toward the seasonal upswing in late February.

Two doors from the Phipps Mansion, A Belcaro Time Capsule from 1958

Mark Cramer with Coldwell Banker Previews shows the back yard of a 1958 home built by Allen Phipps, son of Sen. Lawrence Phipps.

In 1958, steel magnate and former U.S. Sen. Lawrence C. Phipps was passing on to his reward … the same year that son Allen Phipps built a sprawling ranch on 1.15 acres carved from the oval-shaped Phipps Mansion site. Coldwell Banker agents Mark and Lisa Cramer have that house on the market at $2.3 million.

The senator’s sons, Allen and Gerald Phipps, are best known for having saved Denver from an unimaginably ignominious fate. In 1964, they bought the fledgling Denver Broncos and Bears Stadium from an owner that was ready to ship the team east following its first lamentable years in the AFL.

This house deserves that kind of break, too. It has 4,650 feet on its ranch level and another 2,200 on a split around the garage,angled about a resplendent back yard. In a year when Sputnik was in orbit and cars had fins, this was a place with a space-age kitchen and a full master suite with dressing area and plenty of built-ins. All the more remarkable, nobody seems to have changed it since; it’s a time capsule of 1958 — the cabinets, finishes, all as they were then.

Logic, says Mark Cramer, points to scraping and building, in one of a very few high-end neighborhoods that shows year-over-year price increases now. If you follow Kentucky Avenue around the Belcaro oval (street names change to Adams, then Belcaro Drive, then Madison) you’ll pass numbers of residences with comparable pricing, including some scrape-n-builds that have gone well beyond (one house, Cramer says, is at $6.3 million). At $2.3 million, a buyer could spend $300/foot for even 8,000 new feet and still come in well under $5 million.
The Cramers hope this will go another direction, though. Buy the house; put, say, $400,000 into a makeover of the main ranch level, and then totally rebuild the old garage and servants’ wing into a new bedroom wing around a pool deck ($600,000?). That would yield a period showplace in a matching neighborhood, at $3.4 million.

… One that preserves the styling and the fun details, including a wet bar that has a pass-thru to the patio outside. 3481 E. Kentucky Ave. is 5 blocks west of Colorado Boulevard on Kentucky Avenue.

The Triple Bypass

August 17th, 2010

Thank you again to everyone who contributed to Big Brothers Big Sisters on my behalf.  Because of your generosity we exceeded the original goal of raising $1,500 by almost $1,000 as of last night.  For my commitment, I promised to contribute $500 and cycle 120 miles over Squaw, Loveland, and Vail passes this past Saturday in The Triple Bypass cycling ride.  The road was long, the passes high, the sun hot, and the rain cold, but I am happy to report that I successfully completed the ride in about ten and a half hours.

Starting around 6AM with Squaw Pass, 3,500 cyclists climbed for 16 miles from 7,800 feet to 11,000 feet.  I had a breakfast burrito before I started and piled on shot bloks, Powerbars, Goo, Gatorade, water etc. during the climb.  At the summit I took a few minutes to enjoy the views and gear up for the 14-mile white-knuckle coast down to Idaho Springs.

From Idaho Springs we made our way to Georgetown where the fun began.  Most riders would agree that the second leg of the Triple is the hardest.  You’ve just finished a long climb up Squaw with a nice, although short, break before climbing for the next 30 miles to the summit of Loveland Pass with an additional elevation gain of around 4,200 feet.  During this leg you never stop climbing – it’s always uphill, and a good portion of it is on the I-70 highway.

At Loveland Basin I realized that I had underestimated the Triple.  I felt pretty spent when I sputtered into the aid station, and in front of me I saw a series of steep switchbacks, and thought, “that can’t be part of this ride.”   On closer examination I could see little dots moving in one direction along the switchbacks and a few expletives raced through my head.  I devoured ham and cheese sandwiches, watermelon, and chocolate chip cookies, threw down some Gatorade and water, and jumped back on my bike.  The short break at the aid station really turned me around, and the switchbacks started falling behind me as I made my way to the summit around 12,000 feet and an easy coast down the backside through A-Basin and Keystone.

Driving into Vail is always a joy, but riding down as the last part of the Triple was a near spiritual event.  The ride ends in Avon and you can feel the adrenaline pumping as riders pick up the pace for the finish line.

Again, thanks to everyone who contributed to Big Brothers Big Sisters, and to Lindsay Brown for his advice along every step of the way, and especially to Lisa for supporting me and encouraging me to train, and setting such a great example with Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Home Buyer Tax Credits and The Denver Real Estate Market

August 17th, 2010

The Homebuyer Tax Credits expired for qualified buyers who were not under contract on a home on or before April 30th.  Looking at the MLS data for central Denver, we calculated a 47% drop in homes under contract between April and May during a time of year when the market should see a seasonal rise.

 Home Buyer Tax Credit and the Denver Real Estate Market

It’s still too early to know exactly how much of a difference this slump in activity will depreciate prices, if at all.

We analyzed the percentage decrease of homes under contract between April and May by price-range in central Denver.  Not surprisingly, lower priced homes were most affected by the expiration with the greatest percentage decrease in contracts occuring in the $200,000 to $300,000 price range.
If prices decrease as a result of falling demand, buyers who opted to purchase after the government credit expiration may be rewarded with lower prices, and with lower interest rates as well.  The interest rate on a 30-year fixed conventional mortgage at the end of April was 5%, and as of mid August it is hovering around 4%.
Denver neighborhoods such as Country Club, Cherry Hills Village, Hilltop and Polo Club where inventory is relatively more expensive and homogenous will not be impacted as much as neighborhoods like West Wash Park, Platt Park, and Congress Park where prices are more affordable.

Cycling for Big Brothers Big Sisters

June 22nd, 2010

GraduationAs you may know Lisa has been a big sister for the past 10 years to a very lucky young lady who just this past month was the first among her family to graduate from high school. Lisa’s positive influence is a testament to the difference that Big Brothers Big Sisters is making in the lives of at risk youth in our community.

 

In an effort to lose some weight and support Big Brothers Big Sisters, I have pledged to raise $1,500 for the organization by contributing $500 myself and soliciting friends and family to support my ride across three Colorado Rocky Mountain passes (Squaw, 11,140′; Loveland, 11,990′; Vail, 10,560′) on one 120-mile lung-busting day in the Triple Bypass cycling challenge on July 10th.

Market Activity Decreases as Tax Credit Expires

June 22nd, 2010

The First Time Homebuyer Credit expired on April 30th for qualified buyers who were not under contract on a home. Recently released MLS data for the month of May shows that across the nation the housing market found the $8,000 credit “stimulating”. A recent Wall Street Journal article cites a survey showing that homebuyer traffic fell by 45% in May compared to April.

The Central Denver Market was no exception. Looking at homes and condos under contract in Central Denver, we calculated a 47% drop in activity between April and May, during a time of the year when the market should be on a seasonal rise.

It’s still too early to know exactly how much of a difference this slump in demand will depreciate prices, if at all.

During the six months prior to the tax credit expiring, inventory for homes under $300,000 was at a record low (around a 2.5 months supply).  The decrease in demand will certainly increase the supply of inventory, but only time will tell if it will be enough to start depreciating home prices in that price range.

Of course, the amount of available inventory increases as you move up in price.  At the same time, the level of motivation to take advantage of the tax credit decreases; after all, how many million dollar buyers are first-timers, and would $8,000 really motivate them?

Denver – America’s Second Worst-Selling Housing Market

April 20th, 2010

Just last June, Forbes Magazine ranked Denver as America’s best city to purchase a home (article).  The article noted an average 5.7% increase in Price Per Square Foot in Denver, between February and March 2009.  Only ten months after Forbes published the article, April 5th, 2010’s edition, the magazine reversed directions and ranked Denver as America’s second Worst-Selling Housing Markets (article).

The recession hit Denver later, and only in the past year have real estate sales slowed and inventory begun to pile up. The number of unsold homes rose 27% year-over-year, and sale prices were flat, pushing the city up to the No. 2 spot [of worst selling markets].

The article explains the calculations behind the rankings, which are less than clear and based on Zillow’s numbers.  

The cities were ranked according to the biggest inventory increases and biggest drop in home sale numbers between the fourth quarter of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2009. Those two metrics were then averaged for each city to determine our top 10.

Looking just at last month’s figures from Metrolist you see that prices and number of transactions are up, and inventory is down compared to March 2009 for both condos and single family homes.  On average, prices are up 7.1%, transactions are up 12.35% and inventory is down 2.9% over last year’s March.

While “America’s Worst-Selling Housing Markets” makes for a sensational title that will sell lots of magazines, the reality is that Denver’s market has been comparatively good and continually improving.  The disconnect between this article and the reality on the ground is so egregious that Mayor Hickenlooper is demanding that the magazine explain their numbers.

Francesca Levy, the author of the article, has since back-peddled her spin admitting:
By many measures, as you know, the Denver market is doing quite well, and certainly it’s doing well relative to other metros. But this story was based on a fairly narrow set of metrics

In fairness to Denver, Forbes could at least re-title their article “America’s Worst-Selling Housing Markets Based on a Narrow Set of  Metrics”

Denver’s Best and Worst Neighborhoods for Appreciation – 2009

April 13th, 2010

DenverAppreciationAfter burning up the slide-ruler and the graph-paper we’ve calculated the neighborhood appreciation numbers and we’re sticking with them!  A bit of explanation up front is only fair.

We identified forty-one major neighborhoods (listed here) in the Denver area, the ones that we thought would most interest you, and compared their average selling price for 2008 to 2009. Simple enough, right?  In addition neighborhoods with fewer than 25 home sales were not considered in the rankings, but their statistics are still available by clicking on them here.

The envelope please…  The top appreciating Denver neighborhood for 2009 is… Congress Park at 5.83% with an average price of $417,555 calculated from the sale of 116 homes.

In second and third place are Sloan’s Lake (5.38%) and Virginia Village (4.64%) respectively.  Sloan’s Lake averaged $308,993 with 141 homes sold, and Virginia Village averaged $242,956 with 132 homes sold.

Bringing up the rear for 2009 for greatest depreciation are Country Club (-24.36%), Greenwood Village (-26.98%), and Cherry Creek (-28.84%) which all hover around sale prices of $1 million. 

While we tend to think of real estate by neighborhoods, this year’s performance points out the importance of price-point.  So don’t despair 700 square-foot Cherry Creek shack dwellers, you probably made money this year!  To you Stapleton McMansion inhabitants the year was not as kind.

Compared to the rest of the country Denver performed admirably in 2009 as evident in the most recent Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Index where Denver ranks number one.  And the market is only getting better as home inventory continues to drop in the metro area.  December inventory was down 16% as compared to 2008 December’s inventory.

If we did not list your neighborhood in our analysis, or you would like for us to create a market analysis for your home, just drop us a note or give us a call, and thank you for your continued support and referrals.

Timing The Seasonal Denver Market

April 13th, 2010

It’s often said that you can’t time the market.  However, you may find opportunities from differences between supply and demand as a result of seasonality in the Denver real estate market whether you are a buyer or a seller.

The Cramer Group studied the Denver central market using three year’s worth of data from 2006 through 2008.  We measured demand by the number of showings requested at the Coldwell Banker, Devonshire office, and we measured supply by the number of active listings reported in the Denver MLS for central Denver.

We then calculated the yearly percentage by month for both supply and demand and graphed them side-by-side:

Showings v Listings

From this chart you can see according to the orange bars that during a given year the demand for homes in Denver is greatest during the month of April, and according to the blue bars that the supply of homes is greatest during the month of September.

Subtracting the percentage of listings (supply) from the percentage of showings (demand) provides greater insight:

Difference Between

Sellers will benefit best from market seasonality in April when the difference between showings and listings is greatest.  On the other hand, buyers will benefit in the month of December when the difference is lowest. 

The chart below lists the months from best to worst for both buyers and seller:

Buyers

Sellers

December April
September March
October February
November May
July January
August June
June August
January July
May November
February October
March September
April December

While this analysis answers a question often asked of us, it’s important to remember that overpricing a home, or under-pricing an offer too much is often just a waste of time regardless of which month of the year it is.  To really succeed as a buyer or a seller you need to take into account many more factors and considerations.  If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell a home, we would be happy to help them navigate through those factors and other considerations.

French Norman home beside country club may have best view in Cherry Hills

April 13th, 2010

DENVER POST, October 25th 2009

By Mark Samuelson

Cramer Cherry Hills 039With a panorama across the 18th fairway lake at Cherry Hills Country Club of the peaks along the Divide, 4201 S. University may have the very best view in Cherry Hills Village (Realtors Mark and Lisa Cramer took down BestCherryHillsView.com for their web site).  But what sets it apart from newer, bigger houses you can see in the south metro suburbs is the character. 

Inside, there’s no sign of the two-story great room that’s centerpiece for virtually all newer homes in the multi-million price range.  Interior spaces are intimate, warm and inviting. 

Architect, Edwin Francis, who studied under Jacques Benedict, has his signature on numbers of public buildings including Mullen High School, the ape house at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and the castle-like Crest House at 14,260 feet on Mt. Evans, once billed as the highest-elevation structure in the world.  The homes’ owners over the decades maintained the integrity of the French Norman architecture… a Wm Ohs makeover of the kitchen a while back, and tasteful updates on the master and baths (leaving the period lath-style cabinetry).  What hasn’t changed a bit is the home’s living room, inspired by a French chapel, its vault set off with prominent beam ceilings above a massive, country fireplace. 

The current owners have furnished that with period pieces picked up on various expeditions though the Continent.  Some of those, says Lisa Cramer, could be made available as part of a purchase. 

There’s a very inviting morning room beside the kitchen… joined by a rounded island bar to the kitchen.  The gallery that forms the centerline of the bedroom level has a balcony overlook to the chapel area below; and the master was oriented with a bay window to bring in the westerly view.  Two other upstairs beds are served by a Jack-n-Jill… and there’s a guest bedroom down in a finished basement area. 

One thing that was added recently is the pool… on the south side of the house, with large surrounding terrace.  Beyond that along S. University, Mark Cramer notes, are a couple of custom home lots for sale.  Somebody who really wanted to maximize this could acquire those and reroute the driveway into a protected entry from Quincy Avenue. 

Mark Cramer, who follows the market on the couples’ web site at DenverNeighborhoodNews.com, says that there are signs of a pick-up in the Cherry Hills Village market.  This home, priced at $3 million, is being held open from ten until 11am, for serious buyers only.  It’s just north of Quincy Avenue on University, west side of the street, a couple of hundred yards south of the entryway to Cherry Hills Country Club.  For information call 303-378-5618.

Living Streets Initiative to make Denver more Bike and Pedestrian Friendly

April 13th, 2010

iStock_000000815498XSmall

According to the Denver Post in their recent article, eight city departments are collaborating to develop solutions to make Denver a more pedestrian and bicycle friendly community without spending a lot of money.

We’re changing the conversation from talking about roads for vehicles or cars to making streets for living,

said Peter Park, Manager of the city’s community, planning and development department.

It’s interesting to note the economic difference that pedestrian and bike friendly streets make to neighborhood economies. In the past decisions were made regarding traffic flow, this initiative is taking a more holistic approach when considering the neighborhoods where changes could be made and friendlier corridors created.

On a related note, the newly completed Cherry Creek bike path stretch between Holly and Oneida streets opened on October 10th.  The new stretch did cost $$$ to the tune of $1.6 million.  The new stretch eliminated six dangerous street crossings and provides 12 miles of trail with no street crossings.

Is Your Realtor on Top of Today’s Technologies

April 13th, 2010

OldLady

Let’s face it, while there are plenty of innovative solutions that offer strong value to the real estate industry, there seem to be few Realtors who know how to make sense of it all.  While real estate appears to be an industry ripe for technological change why is that few agents are adopting these technologies, many of which their clients use everyday?

First, the average age of a Realtor is 54, that’s average!  So you can imagine the challenge of changing business processes so radically let alone the learning curve involved in doing so.  Secondly, the industry has been deluged with “solutions” many of which appear to be the magic elixir that will sell any condo or accurately price any home.  It’s easier to “just say no” to technology rather than to try a hit-or-miss approach to throwing money at it.  And finally, while the old tried-and-true methods, like newspaper ads and open houses, are unlikely to sell a home, they might just find a new client for the Realtor.

What makes The Cramer Group different?  First, our average age is 37 — technology has always been a part of our school, business, and personal lives.  Secondly and perhaps most importantly, we constantly look at every business solution from the client’s point of view (marketing 101), and by doing so we easily recognize what’s snake-oil and what’s real value.  Finally, our slogan, “Reputation for results” is our business marketing plan.  Instead of using our clients’ homes to market ourselves, we market our clients home to sell with the faith that they will want to refer us to others for doing a great job.

We bring a tool box of effective marketing options to every client, and customize the best solution to get the job done right.  If you or someone you know is considering selling their home or is having a hard time selling their home, contact us to see what a difference a business approach to real estate can make.
