You do realize this house is Under Contract, right? If you are the buyer under contract, I think your agent can best advise you. Trulia and similar sites are excellent tools for consumers, but are not the premier tools for pricing homes. There are many unqiue factors for any given house - location, orientation, updates, bathroom configuration. I don't think a website can accurately determine value. There are too many variables. A good agent will do a competitive market analysis and assist you in understanding the pricing of a property. According to the MLS - the house you are inquiring about has been under contract since the 18th.... more
The Boulder/Denver real estate market is experiencing Low Inventory, Excellent Interest Rates and quick movement. We could - could I say - be on the cusp of swinging from a Buyer's market to a Seller's market. As this change occurs, home values will lead - be higher than the previous sale. What was occuring for the past several years was that home prices were lagging - possibly showing at or less than the previous sale. This is a pretty excitime time in real estate. You might want to interivew some buyer's agents to find out about the market and whether the home just seems expensive or is truly a good value. When you purchase, you are entitled to have an agent represent your best interests, so why not find someone now!!... more
Your best bet would be to contact a lawyer, another avenue is to contact the bank directly and explain the situation, they may be able to help you. Consider purchasing, you can find a nice home for less then your paying in rent.

I am in agreement with most of the areas named here. Of course, you might suspect I'm biased, but it is also true Boulder is at the top. Thank you Jack Richardson for mentioning Boulder.
Boulder has a slow growth policy - as does Louisville. There are other reasons, too, the recession spared the "college town." Boulder has a large high tech presence as well as big government employers. People pay more to be close to the stunning beauty of Boulder. The city often finds itself in the national spotlight so its hard to keep it a secret. In the last quarter, more million-dollar homes were sold in Boulder than anywhere else in the state.

Hello Andrurs,
Foreclosures are fairly simple to locate. As Tripp has indicated, the prospect of the house appearing on the market might be a long time coming, though. It is best to work with a real estate agent that has had experience in purchasing foreclosures. If that agent has some construction knowledge as well as familiarity with homes that have been prepped to remain vacant - even better.
With home prices rising, foreclosures may get a look from people who might otherwise have restricted there search to non-distressed properties. That means the pool of potential buyers may be growing this summer.
Best regards,

Hi Jaime The best place to live in Denver is where you and your family feel connected. Talk to those people who have your best interests at heart. If you are flying blind interview Realtors and pick their brain and their heart to see if they can offer you the connection needed. It requires a bit of a leap of faith but we know when someone is truly helpful to us. Good luck! Happy trails Tripp Young/Re/Max Pros... more

Amy Hoak of Marketwatch covered this topic.
There are two main justifications for an appeal, William Fall, chief executive of the William Fall Group, a national appraisal company said: Either the appraiser neglected to consider similar, recently sold properties in the final value, or the appraiser made a significant error or omission in reporting characteristics of the property that could affect value.
But remember, to make the case that a home improvement should have been considered in the appraisal, it has to be shown to be a major capital improvement, such as a new kitchen. It's a good idea to save records of these upgrades as proof.
The important takeaway from this article is consumers have a right to appeal.
No, I personally haven't done this. But, I have been successful in making a case with the lender. As the market has become a seller's market along the Front Range, the lender might be impressed to hear that there is a lot of interest in a particular property. Bolstering confidence in the market may take a while. By summer's end, things could improve.
