FOR SALE: 13110 Julian Court, Westlake Village, Broomfield

Get into Broomfield at a terrific price! This Westlake Village tri-level is on a quiet cul-de-sac, just blocks from the Paul Derda Recreation Center, city trails and Broomfield County Commons and is being offered for $335,000.

Walk into a large living room with hardwood floors and stairs. The kitchen has been updated and has a comfortable eat-in area. Upstairs you'll find two good-sized bedrooms and a full bath. With 1852 total square feet, this home boasts a finished basement and a master bedroom on a level all its own. The full bathroom has been remodeled and the walk-in closet is so huge that you could put a cot in it for guests (although if you did they probably would never stay with you again). 

The lot is larger than is typical with a Pavestone patio and flagstone fire pit area. It has a 2-story shed with Thermalam that is designed to hold heavy equipment. Please note that some furniture is staying with the house, including the flat-screen TV in the basement family room. The interior has been repainted, the water heater is new, and the furnace and central A/C units were replaced just 6 years ago. This house is ready to go, just move right in!

The nearby County Commons offer so much to do, between running trails, a playground, soccer and baseball fields and a dog park. Enjoy various entertainment events there, including the July 4th fireworks and Movies in the Park. Broomfield is such a great location, halfway between Denver and Boulder and US-36 and I-25. The city is also working on plans for a Downtown Civic Center near the city buildings on 1st Avenue, a place to drink coffee, eat great food, listen to music and hang out.

The property will be available to tour until Monday, February 26 at 5pm when any offers received will be reviewed. Open Houses are Saturday, Feb. 24, 2-4pm and Sunday, Feb. 25, 11am-1pm, or call me for a private showing!

Beware of Deed Scam

There is an official-looking letter being sent to new homeowners and those just closed on a refinance that advises them to get a copy of the deed to their home.  This company states that for just $85, they will obtain and send the homeowner their recorded deed.

Don't bother.  You, in face, received a copy of the deed in your closing paperwork.  It will take a few weeks for the recorded version to be available through the county, but if you are interested in having a copy at that time for your records, you can request one for free.  Most counties allow you to do it online in moments:

Adams County Clerk and Recorder

Broomfield County Clerk and Recorder

Boulder County Recording Division

Jefferson County Recording Division

If you ever have questions about letters you receive in the mail about your property, feel free to contact your Realtor and pick her brain.  Don't have a Realtor that keeps in touch with you, you say?  I would love to be that resource for you - give me a call.

The Real Estate Wonk Bonk

For those with an affinity for numbers, here are the statewide and regional housing statistics for the second quarter of 2013.*


STATEWIDE:

• Number of sales (detached and attached homes) rose to 28,068, an increase of 16% over 2Q12.  YTD sales increased just under 17% compared to the same timeframe in 2012.
• Number of new listings (detached and attached homes) rose to 42,348, an increase of 16% over 2Q12.  New townhouse and condo listings were greater than detached home listings.
• Median sales price rose to $260,000 for detached homes and $170,000 for attached homes.  This represents an 8% increase over 2Q12.  Median sales price is not an average of all home sales prices but the middle point, which may not be a good representation of activity in a short timeframe.
• Days on the market decreased 25% for detached homes and 29% for attached homes.  Ask your Realtor to do a little digging into TRUE days on market and days to offer, which can reveal a more accurate picture of any local market.

• Days on the market decreased to 81 for both detached and attached homes, a 25% drop from 2Q12.  Ask your Realtor to do a little digging into TRUE days on market and days to offer, which can reveal a more accurate picture of any local market.
