Meet ART INClusion

ART INClusion is a space where all children belong and are given access to the tools needed to bloom creatively as artists and makers. The ART INClusion team is dedicated to creating opportunities and helping children of all abilities find their strength in the arts.

On December 10, ART INClusion launched their first art workshops, which were held at West + Main Homes in Littleton, CO. These workshops were a tremendous success thanks to these creative young artists, parents, teachers, and volunteers who attended.

ART INClusion is thrilled to introduce “Volume 1”, featuring a collection of paintings and collage from this very talented group: Aspen, Ari, Charlie, Ellie, Everett, Maddie, Pearl, Sierra and Westin! These Artists will have their visual artworks on display at West + Main’s First Friday Event in Littleton, on January 6th from 6-9 pm.

We will also be featuring a special guest artist, Nate, from Access Gallery. Nate creates from a place of prolific focus. His process combines experimental color mixing with geometric tape design which results in works riddled with layers.

All pieces from “Volume 1” will be available for purchase via silent auction. ART INClusion is focused on donating all proceeds to nonprofits actively serving children with a diagnosis. Proceeds from this event will benefit Gigi’s Playhouse. GiGi’s was created to change the way the world views a Down Syndrome diagnosis and sends a global message of acceptance for all. Please consider helping Gigi’s Playhouse.

Just Listed: 1940s Brick Ranch Home Blocks from Sloans Lake

,
 
 
 

Don’t miss this 1940s brick ranch home in the heart of Sloans Lake. .

This home has several updates while still maintaining the art-deco charm of the era. The main floor’s stunning hardwood floors, coved ceilings, and nostalgic crystal doorknobs set it apart from run-of-the-mill homes. The finished basement offers a world of opportunity, including a non-conforming bedroom or flex room, 3/4 bath, and a huge storage room. Outside, you’ll have the option of enjoying your private oasis from the covered front porch or cozying up in the gazebo with a good book. This is an ideal property for the city-dwelling project-lover who likes space to tinker thanks to a very rare detached 3-car garage with workbenches for projects and plenty of storage for all of your toys. If that isn't enough space, there's even a shed attached to the garage! When you’re ready to explore the neighborhood, Sloans Lake is only two blocks away, and you are close to all the culture the neighborhood offers including Tennyson Street and West Highland restaurants, shops and entertainment. This is a rare opportunity!

Greater Denver Area Real Estate Market Report from December 2022

 
 

We entered 2022 in an intense state of high buyer demand, low interest rates with impending increases on the horizon and very low inventory, which continued the frenzied multiple offers, over-asking price sales and waiving contingencies within the contract gifting homeowners a steep 19.19 percent appreciation from January to April.

In March, the Federal Reserve started raising the base Fed rate to slow the economy as inflation hit a 40-year high. By April, the real estate market started to show signs of slowing as buyers saw the mortgage rates increase, reducing their buying power.

Affordability and market uncertainty caused many buyers to pull back by mid-summer-this was a gift to buyers still in the market, providing an opportunity to negotiate with sellers on the sale price, concessions and inspection items, something they hadn't had the luxury of in years.

Interest rate increases dominated the conversation for most of the year, but the lack of inventory was still an important player. The number of new homes that entered the market in December decreased from November by 35.19 percent; we typically see a decline in new listings from November to December as sellers pull back to focus their time and energy on the holidays. The inventory has gradually increased throughout the year, resulting in homes staying on the mar­ ket longer before going under contract, not necessarily more sellers entering the market. In December, the median days in the MLS was 30, up from 21 in November and up from five days in December 2021. Year-to-date, the total number of listings in 2022 was 60,164, down 9.30 percent from 2021-this listing count is also less than in 2020, 2019 and 2018. As a result, the total number of closed properties in 2022 was 50,743, down 20.84 percent from 2021.

The increase in interest rates and decrease in buyer demand has impacted home prices. The median sale price for detached homes in December was $600,000, down 2.44 percent from November and 0.01 percent from December 2021. The attached homes also showed a month-over-month decline from $410,000 in November 2022 to $405,000 in December. Compared to December 2021. the median sold price for attached homes increased 5.74 percent. For both detached and attached homes, the peak median sale price for 2022 occurred in April, $680,000 and $440,000, respectively.

This post-pandemic shift back to a more normalized market will take some time. There are many still wanting to buy a home who have not given up and are simply waiting on the sidelines for the market and rates to stabilize. There are many opportunities for buyers in this market; motivated sellers are willing to negotiate on price and inspection items and pay down the interest rate for buyers to make the home more affordable. Sellers must adjust their expectations, know that this market differs from the past couple of years and be patient. Although the median days in the MLS have increased, it is still a good market for sellers willing to prepare their homes and price competitively.
