GOLFING HEAVEN

2011-07-05T12:30:00.000-07:00

Fresh air, green rolling hills, stunning views, unlimited access to an 18 hole, top-rated course, plus a driving range, golf lessons and a well-stocked pro shop – what more could a golf enthusiast want? Golfing communities are the answer for anyone who loves to hit that little white ball down the fairway, but they are also popular with homebuyers who have other interests too.

Golf communities come with many side benefits like social clubs, community events, first-class dining, full-service spas, and other recreational facilities such as tennis and basketball courts, swimming pools, horse-back riding and walking trails.

These days, golf communities cater to all types of people from working singles and growing families to retiring baby boomers. Most people choose a golf community for the beautiful setting, the health benefits and the ready-made sense of neighborhood.

Homes in golf communities come in a wide range of sizes and price ranges. From luxury homes to vacation condos, your REALTOR® can find you a home that perfectly fits your lifestyle.

The Iverson Team is here to assist you with all your real estate needs, TheIversonTeam@slifer.net or give us a call and let's start shopping.

INSURING YOUR NEW HOME

2011-05-17T13:23:00.000-07:00

Before you buy a home, it’s important to find out about the property’s insurance status. From the moment you and the seller execute an agreement of sale, you have an insurable interest in the property. These days, 2 out of 3 homes are underinsured, so you want to make sure that the property has adequate insurance before you move forward on the agreement.

It’s also important to find out if you can get new insurance once you are the owner. Before you sign an agreement, ask the seller to get a C.L.U.E. (Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange) personal property report. A C.L.U.E. report details the kind of damage claims that were previously made on the home. If too many claims have been made, it could be costly or difficult to get new coverage.

Since the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT) was passed in 2003, homeowners can get a free C.L.U.E. report once a year. Just go online to www.choicetrust.com and order your report.

Just a quick run down of notable activity

2011-02-15T14:04:00.000-08:00

East Vail had 4 closings at $377/square foot (which is about the same number of closings it has steadily had for the past 6 months, but with a price down from $437 and $431 in November and December). Booth Creek and the Golf Course remained quiet. Vail Village also reported no sales at all in January, which was very unusual. Apparently buyers went to Lionshead instead, since it had 4 properties sold in January at $1,532/sq. ft. (including 3 Ritz’s at $1,688 and 1 Montaneros at $1,065). Other than one sale in Potato Patch and one in West Vail South, all was quiet between Lionshead and Dowd Junction (no sales in Spraddle, Sandstone, Cascades, The Valley, Highland Meadows). Minturn had one property that closed in January; a lovely mobile home on Main Street for $187/sq. ft. Eagle-Vail had 4 sales that averaged $234/sq. ft., which is not much of a change in price or volume from the past several months. Avon saw its price per square foot rise in January, with 7 properties sold at around $313 (up from 7 sold in December, 2010 for $241). It is also worth noting that 4 of Avon’s 7 January sales were Ascent Residences. Beaver Creek had less than half the number of transactions close in January (3), then December (8), although the average sold price per square foot increased from $754 to $856. Bachelor Gulch’s price per square foot was also up—at $969/ sq. ft for the 3 sold in January. Arrowhead remained quiet with no sales, as did Homestead. Singletree had two sales at $270/sq. ft, which is a little better than the previous couple of months, but still very slow. Cordillera had one sale in January at $433/ square foot, which was quite an improvement over the past several sales, and appears to be a unique property (LEEDS certified). Bellyache Ridge had one bank-owned sale in January at $142/sq. ft. which was far lower than the average price per square foot has been in any of the past ten years I am tracking. This sale was one of the few that really caught my attention. Another one was a bank-owned sale in Eagle which amounted to $54/sq. ft. (and needed additional remodel completion.) Eagle Ranch once again saw a few sales (4) at about $175/sq. ft. which is interesting, because the last three months have shown the exact same average price per square foot.

THE GREEN BUILDING REVOLUTION

2011-01-10T14:08:00.000-08:00

In spite of the recent economic recession, there is one sector that seems to be flourishing. According to a new report by McGraw-Hill Construction (who tracks building industry trends), the U.S. green building market has expanded dramatically since 2008 and is expected to double its size by 2015. New green construction jumped from $42 billion in 2008 to $71 billion in 2010 and represents 25 percent of all new building activity.
This is great news for not only the environment (since single family homes account for about 21 percent of U.S. energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions), but it also means that the cost of green building materials is getting more affordable for the average homeowner and that more new green innovations are arriving on the market all the time.
If you are planning to build a new home, be sure to incorporate green features into your plan. They may cost slightly more than conventional products, but they will save a lot on utility bills over time.

If you are in the building mood, please take a look at our website and let us help you find just the right homesite for your dream mountain home. Visit: www.VailSkiHomes.com and start shopping. We currently are listing some spectaular homesites, which might be of interest to you. 87 Windermere Circle, Arrowhead MLS#: V317098 - a golf course property listed at $2,495,000. 820 Aspen Bluff Lane, Red Sky Ranch MLS#: V320153 - another golf course property listed at $995,000.

RECENT SNOWFALL MEANS MORE TERRAIN FOR VAIL MOUNTAIN’S OPENING DAY, FRIDAY, NOV. 19

2010-11-16T10:05:00.001-08:00

From Vail Resorts
• Recent snowfall has allowed Vail Mountain operations crews to expand their opening day plans VAIL, Colo. – Nov. 15, 2010 – With nearly a foot of new snow over the weekend at mid-mountain and snowmaking conditions prime for lower elevations, Vail Mountain operations crews plan to open more lifts and terrain than initially anticipated with approximately 550 acres of skiable terrain on opening day, Friday, Nov. 19. “The recent storms have been a huge help to our snowmaking and grooming crews who have been hard at work to provide our guests with the best opening day and early-season terrain offering we’ve seen in the last few years,” said Chris Jarnot, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Vail Mountain. “We’re looking forward to getting the 2010-2011 season started and will provide additional updates over the next few days.” Beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 19, guests to Vail will be able to access the mountain from both the Vail Village and Lionshead base areas through the Vista Bahn Express Lift (#16), the Born Free Express Lift (#8) and the Eagle Bahn Gondola (#19). Skiers and riders will also have access to the following lifts and portions of terrain in these areas: Avanti Express Lift (#2) Wildwood Express Lift (#3) Mountaintop Express Lift (#4) Little Eagle Lift (#15) Additional lifts and terrain will open as conditions permit.

DON'T MARKET YOUR HOUSE BEFORE IT IS READY

2010-11-16T09:58:00.000-08:00

Listing your home for sale before doing the necessary preparation can be a costly mistake. Sellers who put their homes on the market before making essential repairs usually wait longer for the home to sell, and it usually sells for less.
Some sellers reduce the sales price to compensate for less-than-attractive conditions or credit the buyers at the settlement for needed repairs. This approach is only attractive to buyers who are looking for a bargain and have the time and skills to fix up a property. Most buyers can't visualize a home's potential, have little remodeling experience, and are turned off by the thought of such a project.
The first time your home is seen by the public is the best chance you have to sell your home. You should wait until your home looks its best before showing it to anyone except your Realtor. Your agent can tell you how to prepare your property for the market and will happily promote your attractive and well-maintained home to buyers and other Realtors. You may want to sign a listing agreement a week or two before you are ready to show so your Realtor can place ads and begin marketing, but don’t open it to the public until it shows well.

2010-11-07T08:33:00.000-08:00

Every now and then a property comes to the market that you know will not last long. It's simply the best. Views, Location and Attention to Details. This is one of those properties. If you are planning on being in the Vail Valley sometime soon and have been waiting for just such a property, call us and let us take you to experience this property.

TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY?

2010-11-03T08:57:00.000-07:00

Many young people feel they cannot afford to buy their own home in the Vail valley. They assume that the down payment and the mortgage payments make owning a home more costly than renting.
Although the monthly payments may be higher than your rent during the first few years that you own a home, federal and state income tax deductions on the mortgage interest and the property taxes will reduce your monthly housing costs significantly. Your rent may increase periodically, but your mortgage payment will remain fairly stable, depending on the type of mortgage you have.
Buying a home not only represents great tax savings while you are young—it gives you home equity for your senior years, when it will be most valuable to you. The housing costs of renters who are approaching retirement will be a larger percentage of their monthly income than the housing costs of those who bought their home years before. Most homeowners will have paid off the mortgage by that time and are thus living virtually rent-free.
With today’s low interest rates, the real question might be, can you afford not to buy?

THE "FOR SALE" SIGN MEANS BUSINESS

2010-05-25T12:31:00.000-07:00

Many people notice a "For Sale" sign in front of a house and call to get information about it. Statistics compiled by real estate firms around the country indicate that the majority of responses to Realtors' advertising come from calls generated by yard signs, and more buyers come from "sign inquiries" than any other marketing strategy.
A yard sign advertises that a house is for sale. It informs not only potential buyers, but also the neighbors. Often a neighbor will call about a property because they have friends, colleagues or relatives whom they would like to have move into the neighborhood. And it's not uncommon for a neighbor's inquiry to result in a sale. Prospective buyers who call for an appointment after seeing a yard sign already have a positive response to the exterior of the house and are eager to see the interior. If you are putting your home on the market and don't like the idea of having a sign in your yard, talk with your Realtor.
