  A couple from Austin reached out to me last spring after spotting Green Mountain on a list of "best Denver suburbs." They had done their research online, liked what they saw, and wanted to move fast. Before I let them write an offer on the first home they toured, I sat them down and walked them th

  I had a client a few months ago who called me from the parking lot of Green Mountain Elementary. She and her husband had just driven through the neighborhood for the first time and she said, "Cody, I don't know what it is about this place, but we need to live here." I knew exactly what she meant.

  October 2026Figures as of October 21, 2026. Before you put your plans on hold, here’s what the data says, including when waiting makes sense. More people are googling “when will mortgage rates go down” than at any time this past year. If you’ve been wondering the same thing, you’re in good company

  Last January, I listed a ranch-style home on South Upham Street in Lakewood during a week when we had six inches of snow on the ground. It sold in nine days for over asking price. Winter selling in Colorado is not the liability most sellers assume it is. If you are thinking about waiting until spr

  Last spring, I helped a family relocating from Cherry Creek buy a four-bedroom home off West Ida Drive in Littleton. They had toured dozens of properties, but the moment they walked downstairs into a fully finished basement with a wet bar, a bedroom, and a full bath, the decision was made. The sel

  Last spring, I helped a family relocating from Chicago close on a home just three blocks from Main Street in Littleton. Within a week of getting their keys, they texted me a photo from Breckenridge Brewery's patio with the message: "We already feel like locals." That's the thing about this area. I

  The Questions First-Time Buyers Should Ask Any AgentA few months ago, I sat across from a couple at a coffee shop on South Wadsworth. They had spent six weeks touring homes in Littleton on their own, falling in love with places before learning about pending assessments, flood zone complications ne

  A longtime client of mine in Lakewood called me last month with a question I've been hearing a lot lately: "Cody, I keep reading that Colorado home prices are cooling. Did I miss my window?" She'd been watching her Zillow estimate tick down slightly and was convinced the market had turned against

  I had coffee last spring with a client named Marcus, a 34-year-old software developer who had just crossed the $100,000 salary threshold for the first time. He was ready to stop paying $1,900 a month in rent near Sloan's Lake and actually build equity. His first question was one I hear constantly:

  A client of mine recently put it perfectly: she wanted to stop renting in Denver but wasn't ready to take on a full detached house with a yard she'd never have time to maintain. She was 34, working downtown, and wanted something in Littleton that felt like a real home without the full weight of ho

  A client of mine recently asked me point-blank: "Cody, is Columbine Valley even on my radar as a first-time buyer?" She had a budget around $600K, worked downtown Denver, and wanted a neighborhood that felt established without feeling stuffy. After walking a few streets near the Platte River and p

  Last spring, I sat down with a family in the Columbine Knolls neighborhood who had already interviewed two agents before calling me. Both agents showed up with the same pitch: a glossy pre-printed packet, a broad price range, and a promise to "market aggressively." Neither one had a clear strategy

  Last spring, I sat across the kitchen table from a couple in Green Mountain who had lived in their home for eleven years. They had built up significant equity and were ready to move closer to family in Fort Collins. The one thing holding them back from listing? They had no idea what capital gains

  A few months ago, I worked with a couple relocating from Austin who had their eyes set on a 5-acre parcel just outside Evergreen, off Squaw Pass Road. The price looked right, the views were incredible, and they were ready to make an offer. Then I asked them one question: "Have you confirmed this l

  I had a conversation last month with a family relocating from Chicago. They wanted space, a real yard, maybe a few horses someday, but they also needed to commute into Denver for work a few days a week. Their exact words were, "We don't want a subdivision. We want land." That's a request I hear co

  I had a call last spring with a family relocating from Chicago. They had done their research, thrown around names like Cherry Hills and Castle Rock, but what they kept coming back to was Evergreen. Specifically, they wanted the mountain feel without being two hours from a decent grocery store. Sou

  Last spring, I worked with a software engineer relocating from Austin. His company gave him 60 days and a relocation package, and he spent the first three weeks talking to agents who kept showing him homes in Highlands Ranch because it was "popular." He had no idea that his actual commute to the R

  A few months ago, I sat down with a family in Lakewood who had outgrown their ranch on Estes Street. Two kids, a home office that had taken over the dining room, and a strong equity position built up over six years. They knew they wanted more space, probably something in the Green Mountain corrido

  Last spring, I worked with a couple in their early thirties who had been looking at homes in Lakewood for about four months. They lost three offers before we sat down and reworked their strategy. The fourth offer they wrote, on a split-level near Green Mountain with W. Alaska Place frontage, got a
