Buying a home is not only an exciting adventure, but for some it is the path to financial security through personal equity. For this reason, it is extremely important that when you are preparing to buy a home that you understand fully all the costs associated with the process and the home itself. Unlike renting, homeowners who finance their home are required to hold at least two different kinds of insurance, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance. These two policies are very different and both add to your monthly payment on the home. Homeowners insurance is pretty simple to understand, since it usually mirrors the kind of renters insurance you probably previously had only with more coverage. Mortgage insurance is not so clearly defined for some and…

Colorado is known for having some of the most gorgeous weather in our nation, because we regularly get over 300 days of sunshine a year. But if you live here, you know that our weather is no joke, and experiencing things like 60 degree days in January are just as common as the spring blizzards. In either situation, if you are not prepared for Colorado’s quick changing weather you will likely find yourself wishing you were. Regardless of whether it is bringing a jacket or making sure your homeowners insurance policy is up to date, preparation is key. Of course, the repercussions for being caught in a spring snowstorm without a jacket and gloves are unfortunate, but it is more unfortunate and costly to be hammered down with golf ball size hail stones in a…
Recently Better Homes and Gardens conducted a real estate survey among the new generation of homebuyers, ages 18-35 years old, and concluded this younger demographic is not afraid of getting their hands dirty when it comes to their real estate purchase decisions. In fact, this hands-on approach regarding real estate renovations and repairs, is actually preferred by 30% of those interviewed!

In addition, 43% of those interviewed want something that is not considered a cookie cutter home, but offers quality amenities and accommodations. So what does this…
