Boulder Named Best College Town

Two Colorado towns are among the 50 Best College Towns nationwide: Boulder claimed the No. 1 spot and Fort Collins was named No. 14 by Best College Reviews.

And when it comes to college towns, the competition for "best" is among the toughest there is. Factors considered by the reviewers are:

• Livability

• Student-to-resident ratio

• Cultural offerings

• School presence

• Large employers

Boulder's mix of rich student life and post graduation livability made it "an easy selection as our best college town in America," the report says. Read the article.

The Fix & Flip is Back

With the real estate market remaining hot, the Fix & Flip is once again popular. Buyers who are not interested in taking on a remodel are very happy to buy a home that is already done.  Since interest rates are remaining low, many Buyers can afford to pay more for a remodeled home without their monthly mortgage payment going through the roof. This is a Win-Win for everyone involved. The only problem is the lack of inventory. There simply aren't enough homes on the market to satisfy the demand. This is a great opportunity for sellers who do not want to remodel their home in order to get it sold. If you or anyone you know has been dragging their feet on selling because preparing their property for the market is daunting, please give me a call. I have buyers just waiting for a Fix & Flip opportunity.
