Most sellers I work with start the conversation the same way. They have inherited a property, finished a long-term hold, or have a list of repairs they never got around to. And almost always, the first question is some version of: can I just sell this as-is and be done? The answer is yes, you can. But "as-is" in Colorado real estate does not mean what most people think it means, and the trade-offs in 2026...
# Pre-Listing Home Inspections in Colorado: Are They Worth It for 2026 Sellers? Most sellers I work with come to me with the same question once we start prepping the listing. Should we get a pre-listing inspection? It used to be a niche move. In the current Colorado market, it's becoming a genuine strategic decision, and the answer isn't the same for every home. Here's how I think about it with my...
Cash offers are not always the best offers in 2026 Colorado. A practical seller guide to comparing net proceeds, risk, and timeline.
Most home sellers know the asking price. Some know the agent commission. Very few walk into a listing appointment knowing what they'll actually take home at the end. That gap between sale price and net proceeds is where a lot of seller anxiety lives, and a good net sheet makes it disappear. So let's build one. Here's exactly what comes out of your sale price in Colorado in 2026, and how to estimate your...
One of the most common situations I see in Colorado that almost no one talks about openly: a homeowner wants to sell, but the house is currently rented to a tenant on an active lease. The instinct is usually to wait until the lease ends. That's sometimes right and often wrong. Selling a tenant-occupied home is legal and routine in Colorado, but the rules around it are specific and the mistakes can be...
A few months ago I sat with a client at her kitchen table in Centennial. Her mother had passed in November, and the family home in Highlands Ranch was now hers. She loved the house. She had her own home she was happy in. And she had absolutely no idea what to do with the property she had just inherited. That conversation is one of the most common I have. Inheriting a Colorado home is rarely just a real...
Most Colorado sellers won't owe capital gains tax thanks to the Section 121 exclusion. Here's how it works, how to calculate your gain, and when planning ahead matters most.
I've been watching the spring market wind down across Parker, Aurora, and Lone Tree the past two weeks, and the shift into summer is already showing up in showings, days on market, and how buyers are writing offers. If you listed in April expecting a 7-day cash war and you're sitting at 28 days with one weak offer, you're not alone. The market didn't get worse. It just stopped being spring. Summer is a...
Most Colorado sellers who consider FSBO start with the same math. The average listing commission runs 2.5 to 3 percent. On a 700,000 home in Parker, that's 17,500 to 21,000 they think they'll keep by skipping an agent. The math isn't wrong. It's just incomplete. By the time most FSBO sellers add up what they actually spend, what they net after negotiating with represented buyers, and the time they put in...
Showing demand drops Memorial Day weekend, but the buyers who do show up are some of the most serious of the spring. Here's how to time your Colorado home listing around the holiday.
