While the Colorado housing market was not the hardest hit when the housing market burst the prices dropped and the inventory was high. In recent months many cities in Colorado have seen major improvements in the housing market with spikes in home sales and a huge increase in new home construction. The new positive trends in housing market have created a strong outlook and a huge buyer demand in Colorado cities, such as Littleton.

Denver CO Parade of Lights
First proposed in 1893 by then governor Speer as part of the City Beautiful campaign, the Civic Center has seen much change and controversy since its grand opening in 1919.
A gathering place for Denver citizens in good times and bad, the park has been witness to countless festivals and demonstrations. A Taste of Colorado is perhaps the largest festival held annually over the Labor Day weekend.
The most colorful day of the year for this historic enclave of Denver institutions is the lighting ceremony held every December. Officially referenced as The Parade of Lights, the event is sponsored by 9News and is widely anticipated. The Denver ceremony announces the beginning of the holiday season. Thousands of Denver residents will head to the park, braving the cold and crowd, to witness the blaze of millions of tiny lights.
This year The Parade of Lights will be on Friday, December 6th and will begin at 8 p.m. and again on Saturday, December 7th at 6 p.m. The route is a 2-mile stretch beginning at the Civic Center. Naturally, admission is free, however you may purchase bandstand seats at www.denverparadeoflights.com.
As with every parade worth its salt, the line up will include marching bands and extravagant floats. Lest we forget, Santa will also be in attendance.
For many Denver home buyers, the difference between a “pre-qualification” and a “pre-approval” can seem vague. Unfortunately, while these are two essential items in the process of purchasing Denver real estate, they each play a significantly separate role while pursuing a home loan. Jesse Sehlmeyer owner/broker of Vintage Homes of Denver, and Scott Mulvany of Cherry Creek Mortgage recently reviewed the individual aspects of each of these critical items.
Our name says it all. Vintage Homes of Denver has a passion for historic Denver real estate. Jesse Sehlmeyer, owner and CEO, was born on York Street in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and spent his youth riding bikes in and around Denver‘s oldest neighborhoods. It is this experience that created a lifetime love and interest in Denver‘s past.
Historic Denver is an organization that works tirelessly to preserve architecture, neighborhoods and landscapes that are essential to the preservation of Denver‘s unique past. They have been instrumental in the halted destruction of many important Denver landmarks, most notably perhaps is the famous Molly Brown House Museum.
