Traditionally spring in Denver is the time that crocus and daffodils are in bloom, you’ve opened the windows, and for sale signs are popping up at houses all over the neighborhood. Traditional for the daffodils, but is spring the best time for those signs? Is it the best time to buy or sell your home?

We think it is…especially when you’re prepared. Preparation is totally different for buyers and sellers, but they’re equally important. For sellers there are some great TIPS on our website about getting your home ready to sell! The agents at LIVE are experts at knowing what are the “must do” items and what are those “extra” things that you can do to give you the edge in the crowded spring market.

If you’re a buyer in this market it is really critical that you be prepared. There will be a lot of houses on the market this spring. There will not be a lot of GREAT houses on the market. When you and your agent find the perfect home you need to be ready to move quickly, chances are somebody else has spotted it too!

Getting ready as a buyer involves knowing what you want AND making sure your financial house is in order. Financing is no longer as simple as picking up the phone or shopping for the lowest rate on the web. It’s never been more important that you use a local lender. Someone who knows you, and knows the market, can make the difference in whether you close the deal on your dream home. You’re not going to get the knowledge and service you’ll need from loanmesomemoney.com! Check out www.liveurbandenver.com. The Buy a Home tab has a great Home Buying Guide and tips on what your lender will need from you to get started.

Spring IS the best time to buy and sell, only if you’ve done the work to get yourself and your house ready. Opening the windows is just the beginning!
