Thinking About Buying a Home in the
Denver Metropolitan area?
FREE Homebuyer Resources from RE/MAX Colorado
Real Estate Agent - Anthony Rael
Let's face it...the past seven + years have not been
kind to buyers in the Denver metro area. Severe inventory shortages were being driven by extremely high
demand due to historically low mortgage interest rates. Combined, they
pushed housing prices upwards in unimaginable ways! At one point during
the frenzy between 2020-2022 ("the Covid years") it was common for
listings to sell $10,000 to $400,000 over the list price (...no that's
not a typo) and buyers had to be extremely aggressive with their
contract terms with offering things such as "appraisal gaps", limited
inspections or even waiving them (really bad idea), appraisal waivers,
non-refundable earnest money, ultra-fast closings between 14-21 days and
offering sellers the flexibility to remain in the home post-closing
(rent-free) up to 60-days. It was unlike anything we'd ever seen in real
estate. Let's have
coffee and I'll share more about this unprecedented moment in
time.
As we approach the
2025 spring market, interest rates
are still hovering in the high 6% and even low 7% range and consumers are wondering if this is a buyer's market
or seller's market? My answer is YES to both...but it depends. Much of what's currently
happening is a combination of several dynamic factors so consequently
there's no way to answer this question without first knowing what your
housing goals and objectives are. It's a complicated real estate market and more than
ever you need someone to protect your interests.

 Contrary to what you
are hearing in the news or on social media, there
has never, ever been a "standard commission". Listing
commissions remain negotiable today, just as they've for many decades.
Any articles or click-bait links suggesting sellers and buyers are going
to save thousands of dollars on the sale and purchase of a property are
misleading and
require additional context so you can educate understand on what's actually
happening in the
Sitzer-Burnett suit. In a nutshell, starting
August 2024, MLS's throughout
the United States will be prohibited from advertising offers of buyer
broker compensation. Also known as a Buyer Broker "co-op" or "co-broke"
it represented the amount a buyer's agent would be paid by the listing
agent, seller or home builder if they successfully represented a buyer
who closed on the property. Additionally, any real estate agent working
with a buyer will be required to enter into a written agreement with the
buyer before an agent can show any property. This agreement (sometimes
referred to as a showing agreement) is a contract between you
and the agent that as transparently as possible discloses how
YOU will be responsible for compensating your agent's brokerage firm
- directly or indirectly. This "showing agreement is NOT
REQUIRED per Colorado Law. For more on this critically important
subject, PLEASE read my page titled "Colorado
Buyers Agent Compensation". It outlines Everything You Need
to Know About Hiring a Buyer's Agent Buying a Home in the Denver
Metro Area : Buyer Broker Agreements; Buyer Agent Compensation &
Disclosures; Real Estate Agent Commissions. I'm here to advise and counsel you
through the changes so we can successfully pivot and continue
putting you in the best possible position to buy a home.
