Home sales slump is boosting inventory in Denver
By Aldo Svaldi The Denver Post (TNS)
(July 8) – After years of undersupply, metro Denver’s housing market is experiencing a surge in listings that has brought counts to levels not seen since the fall of 2013, according to a monthly update from the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.
Buyers and sellers alike have pulled back as they wait for lower mortgage rates and what comes next. And defying the odds, home prices continue rising despite slowing activity.
Metro Denver had 10,214 residential properties listed for sale at the end of June, an 11.5% increase from May and a 68.3% increase from June 2023. In the past 13 months, the number of active listings has doubled.
“A once reliable market with a peak selling season in June has taken a detour. The main culprit of higher interest rates is easy to identify,” Libby Levinson-Katz, chairwoman of the DMAR Market Trends Committee and an area Realtor, said in comments accompanying the report.
The inventory surge happened even though new listings dropped 16.4% from May to 5,825. Rather than
REAL ESTATE Q&A
waiting until closer to when the new school year starts, the prime selling appears to have peaked early, in May.
Buyers, long starved for choice, haven’t had this many options in metro Denver since September 2013. But even with the big move, the active inventory remains below June’s historical average of about 15,500, based on records dating back to 1985.
Levison-Katz said the inventory stands at 2.78 months of supply, which is getting closer to the three months or more considered necessary for a “balanced” market. In June 2021, only 3,122 listings were available across a region of 2.9 million people.
Closings dropped 17.1% to 3,678, as fewer deals got done despite buyers having a wider selection. The median number of days listings spent on the market also rose by a third, from nine days to 12 days.
The cooling in the market was especially notable in homes priced at $1 million and above, noted Colleen Covell, a member of the DMAR Market Trends Committee.
“Sellers in this market will be left out of the summer fun unless they update their home before listing, price conservatively and expect to pay a closing concession. Otherwise, they
What’s the financial liability
will be sitting idle throughout the long dog days of summer,” Covell said in the report.
Defying the softening market, home prices continued to increase in June. The median price of a single-family home sold was $665,000, up 1.06% from May and 1.56% over the past year. The median sales price for condos and townhomes rose from $407,000 in May to $410,000 in June, but is down from $420,000 a year earlier as higher association fees drag down affordability.
With inflation softening and lower interest rates on the horizon, LevinsonKatz suggested buyers and sellers alike may be waiting to make their next move.
“It is possible that we are simply experiencing a calm before the storm. Many consumers are holding off until the fall to align with the projection of lower mortgage rates. While the market typically slows down ahead of a presidential election, we may find ourselves in the throes of a bustling market this election cycle,” she predicted.

for neighbor’s dead tree?
GARY M. SINGER
Q: My neighbor has a large pine tree that died this summer. It is five feet from our shared property line and within range of damaging our home if it falls. How would the financial liability play out between us, them, and our respective insurance companies? – Jen
A: If a tree falls on your property because it is unhealthy or not maintained by the owner, the owner would be responsible for paying for the repairs to your property.
The law does not protect a tree owner who neglects the maintenance of their tree, which leads to damage to someone else’s property.
However, the law will protect a tree owner who maintains their trees, even if a tree damages a neighbor’s property through unexpected events, like a
storm.
Therefore, it is crucial for tree owners to regularly maintain their trees to avoid liability for damage caused by their unhealthy trees. In your case, it seems clear your neighbor is not doing that.
Because the tree is dead, any damage it causes would be your neighbor’s responsibility.
While your homeowner’s insurance policy should protect against this damage, you should look over your coverage to confirm. If something happens and your insurance company pays for the repairs, it will want the right to seek reimbursement from your neighbor. This is called “subrogation” and is a right given to insurance companies in most, if not all, of the insurance policies I have seen.
Your insurance company will seek reimbursement from your neighbor and sue them if they or their insurance company do not step up.
That said, it is best to avoid this issue altogether.
Depending on your relationship with your neighbor, you should talk about
this with them or write them a note. If they are not cooperative and you live in a community association, you can seek assistance from the property manager. Another option may be to speak to code enforcement or a similar department in your local municipality.
While it may be uncomfortable to take these steps, it is better than dealing with a damaged house. If nothing else, communicating the issue will document your neighbor’s negligence in case there’s an issue.

The sandwich generation: Caregiving role helps some achieve homeownership
TOM KALINSKI
A ordability remains a signi cant challenge for many home shoppers. For nearly half of the Sandwich Generation –those who say they are caring for their nonadult children and parents or grandparents – the a ordability challenge is compounded by their dual caregiving circumstances. According to a new survey from Realtor.com®, this group says their caregiving responsibilities have impacted their nances, including housing.
On the positive side, one-third of those say their caretaking role helped them achieve homeownership. But not all impacts have been positive. irty percent say their dual caregiving has prevented them from buying a home, and another 30% report it’s prevented them from paying o their mortgage.

Navigating life’s transitions in real estate: Divorce
BILL MYERS
Navigating real estate transitions during a divorce can sometimes be the most turbulent waters a life can sail. Divorce is not just a legal process; it’s an emotional journey that often leaves all parties feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. The home you once shared holds memories of happier times, and letting go can be incredibly difficult. During this period, patience and understanding from all parties involved are crucial. Accepting that grief is often one of the primary emotions one undertakes, acknowledging them while giving yourself the grace to navigate them at your own pace is essential.
The role of a professional cannot be overstated when making real estate decisions during a divorce. Their expertise and support can be invaluable. A seasoned real estate agent, particularly one experienced in handling divorce cases, can provide a balanced perspective. Empathy must be present while accompanying those who may be forging, sometimes tumultuous and billowing ways. A seasoned real estate agent will understand the nuances of such transitions and can mediate discussions, ensuring that both parties’ voices are heard and respected. Real estate transitions during a divorce involve both emotional and practical considerations. It’s often necessary to involve other professionals, such as legal, mortgage, and financial professionals, to assist in navigating
Divorce is not just a legal process; it’s an emotional journey that often leaves all parties feeling overwhelmed and uncertain.
the complexities of dividing assets and determining the best course of action for both parties. This is especially true if minor children are a part of the equation.
These professionals can provide crucial guidance on issues such as property division, understanding how the home and other properties will be divided according to state laws, deciding whether one party will keep the house and refinance the mortgage or if selling the property is the best option, and assessing how the division of assets will impact your financial future and planning accordingly.
Once the decision to sell or retain the home has been made, it’s time to evaluate your housing options. If one party wishes to remain in the family home, it’s essential to consider the financial feasibility. Can you afford the mortgage and maintenance costs on a single income? This consideration is crucial in making informed decisions
about your future living arrangements. For many, downsizing to a more manageable property can be practical and emotionally beneficial, allowing for a fresh start without the burden of a large, potentially unaffordable home. Depending on your financial situation, renting might be a more viable option in the short term. It provides flexibility as you adjust to your new circumstances without the immediate pressure of purchasing a new home. To make the transition smoother, keep lines of communication open with your ex-spouse, especially regarding decisions that affect both of you. This open dialogue can foster a sense of connection and understanding, making the process less isolating. Mediation can be a helpful tool in reaching amicable agreements. Surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, and professionals who can offer advice and a listening ear. Keep detailed records of
The sandwich generation (continued)
of an aging Colorado population will continue into the next decade. The number of people 65 years of age and over is expected to grow 36% from 2020 to 2030. This aging could impact homeownership for the state’s Sandwich Generation.
Laura Eddy, VP of Research and Insight for Realtor.com®, explained that more than half of the adults in the third of Realtor.com’s survey respondents reported that family support “is helping them to afford a home, while a little less than half (47%) said the support helped them save for retirement.”
Kendall Bonner, Realtor.com®
housing expert, noted that it’s not uncommon for those who take responsibility for an aging family member to inherit the home.
Notably, the Sandwich Generation is not limited to one age group. Survey respondents who identified as part of this group included 36% millennials, followed by 30% Gen Zers – also called Zoomers, 17% Baby Boomers and 16% Gen Xers.
Millennials – those born between 1981 and 1996 and the largest impacted group – report being especially affected financially and on opposite ends of the scale. The Realtor. com survey reveals that 43% say their
caregiving circumstances are helping them afford a home, while another 46% say it is preventing them from buying a home.
Additionally, more men than women say they are supporting kids under the age of 18 and parents or grandparents, with men making up 56% compared to 44% of women.
Colorado’s shifting demographics could play a growing role in the homeownership dynamics of those caring for their children and their parents or grandparents. Read the full Realtor.com report at mediaroom.realtor.com/2024-06-28Realtor-com-R-Survey-Finds-33-of-
all communications, agreements, and financial transactions to help avoid misunderstandings and provide clarity during the process. Amidst the stress of divorce, it’s crucial to prioritize self-care. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and sufficient rest can help you manage stress and maintain your wellbeing.
While navigating real estate transitions during a divorce can be daunting, it also offers an opportunity for a fresh start. By enlisting the help of professionals and approaching the situation with patience and understanding, you can make informed decisions that set the foundation for your new beginning. Remember, you are not alone in this journey. There is a wealth of support available, from professionals to your network. Lean on them and take one step at a time. With the proper guidance and resources, you can navigate this challenging transition and emerge stronger on the other side. The overall percentage of marriages that end in divorce in the United States is estimated to be between 40-50% This figure includes all age groups, but the specific rates for seniors indicate a notable trend of increasing divorce rates among older adults.

How can I keep my home secure in summer?
By Angie Hicks
Ask Angi (TNS)
July and August are some of one of the busiest vacation times of year, and unfortunately, that means people of ill intent will be around.
More than a million burglaries take place in the U.S. every year. However, securing your home doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming. A few quick and easy home safety tips can help prevent break-ins and keep your home and family safe.
Add lighting
Make your home feel more safe and secure by installing exterior lighting. Flood lights will help deter trespassers and give you better visibility at night. Installing solar-powered lights or motion detectors will help keep energy bills down and prevent too much glare at night.
Install blinds and curtains
These can give you more privacy and hide your expensive belongings. You can also install a one-way window film for even more daytime privacy. Blinds and curtains also tend to improve energy efficiency in summer by
Reinforcing your doors or upgrading locks can help prevent theft, especially when you’re away from home. (Dreamstime/TNS)
blocking heat from entering the home.
Reinforce
your entry doors
Reinforcing your entry doors is a great way to make your home more secure. Hire a professional to come in and install longer screws to make your locks more secure.
While you’re at it, double-check the locks on your doors and windows. Your regular entry doors, sliding doors, windows and garage door should all be securely locked. Your garage door, if unlocked, provides easy access to your house, and you don’t want to give thieves access to any tools and valuables in the garage, either.
Be careful with your spare key
If you keep a spare key outside, move it regularly and make sure it stays hidden. Potential thieves know that nearby rocks or mats are common places to stash spare keys. (If necessary, write down where you move it in case you forget.) You should also change any keypad codes several times a year or as often as possible.
Add security cameras or a video doorbell
These are becoming more and more popular, and they’re a great way to keep an eye on your home no matter where you are. And with recent advances in technology, you can place security cameras in discreet areas that won’t detract from curb appeal.
Use home automation or a security system
Thanks to modern technology, you can take a more active hand than ever in your home security. You can install security systems that will alert you if a door or window opens when they’re not supposed to. Even if you’re halfway across the world, you can
get an alert and even real-time video images directly on your phone or mobile device. And by ordering 24/7 monitoring, your security company can alert authorities if something goes wrong. These systems also protect against fire.
Lock down your Wi-Fi network
It can be tempting to go without a password, but a password provides a vital line of defense. If any passerby can log into your system, your home is vulnerable to digital attacks.
Keep a safe for valuables
It’s a wise idea in general to lock up your most valuable possessions and paperwork (such as birth certificates) in a fireproof safe. Not only does this protect against thieves, but it makes it more likely your valuables and documents will survive a house fire or other natural disaster.

What to know about Megan’s Law and buying a home
Megan’s Law is a federal law named after Megan Kanka, who was abducted and murdered by a neighbor.
On October 19, 1994, the neighbor, Jesse Timmendequas, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death. As a result of this tragic event, the Kankas family was determined to create a system to notify the public with information about the residential locations of sex offenders.
Under Colorado law, sex offenders have the right to live in any location they wish as long as they are properly registered. There is no authority granted by a police department or city government to control these circumstances. However, local law enforcement is required to alert the public to the availability of sex offender registration lists and maintain reasonable accuracy of the list.
Megan’s Law requires identified sex offenders to register with local law enforcement officials, and the federal law requires states to establish a list of convicted sex offenders. In Colorado, C.R.S. 18-3-412.5 requires the Colorado Bureau of Investigation to post on the Internet identifying information,
including photos of sex offenders sentenced as sexually violent predators or convicted of a sexual offense involving children.
CRS 16-22-112(5) states:
“The Colorado sex offender registry includes only those persons who have been required by law to register and who are in compliance with the sex offender registration laws. Persons should not rely solely on the sex offender registry as a safeguard against perpetrators of sexual assault in their communities. The crime for which a person is convicted may not accurately reflect the level of risk.”
All states have now adopted some form of Megan’s Law. There are some states requiring real estate licensees to disclose that a known sex offender lives in the neighborhood.
Currently, in Colorado, there is no requirement for a seller or a real estate licensee to disclose the presence of a registered sex offender living in a neighborhood. Colorado’s legislation places the duty of releasing the information on the local law enforcement agency. However, a position statement CP-29, issued by the Colorado Real Estate Commission states, “It is the position of the Real Estate Commission that all real estate licensees should inform a potential buyer to contact local law enforcement officials for further information if the presence of a registered sex offender is a matter of concern to the Buyer.”
At the state level, state law limits which sex offenders are allowed to be posted by the police department.
Misdemeanor convictions or juveniles adjudicated for sex crimes are not allowed to be on the list. This list is maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
At the county level, the Boulder County’s Sheriff’s Department registers sex offenders that are located in unincorporated Boulder County, Lyons, and Superior. In other areas, such as Longmont and Boulder, your will need to contact that particular law enforcement agency.
In the city of Boulder, the Boulder Police Department can provide a copy of the city’s sex offender list to anyone inquiring about the document. The department allows it to be viewed for free and there is a small charge if you would like to take home a copy.

5 common lawn care mistakes almost everyone makes

However, even if you put a great deal of thought into planning and caring for your lawn, it’s easy to overlook a few things. While seemingly minor, these oversights can make the grass look less than lush. Here are five common lawn care mistakes almost everyone makes, along with how to fix them.
1. Using dull mower blades
Maintaining a lawn can be a lot of work and sometimes we forget to do the simple but important things like sharpening mower blades. Matthew Koch, Ph.D., Director of Biotechnology, Genetics, and Seed at Scotts, tells me mowing with a dull blade can shred grass blades, causing increased stress that can harm the grass, increase water loss, and promote disease. Fortunately, this is an easy fix. He advises sharpening your blades every year. Schedule this on your calendar at the beginning of the season, so you don’t overlook this one.
2. Reactive lawn care
According to Koch, one of the biggest mistakes he sees people making is not being proactive with lawn care.
“According to a recent Harris Poll survey commissioned by Scotts, 81% of homeowners practice preventative maintenance for their vehicle and 66% do so for skin care, while only 56% do the same for their lawn,” he explains.
“Products and treatments for lawns are most effective when they are applied before problem areas pop up and lawn disease strikes. Depending solely on reactive care and maintenance after your lawn shows signs of disease is a key mistake that can lead to the downfall of a healthy lawn.”
3. Overwatering
Because many of us fear underwatering our lawns – especially if we don’t live in particularly rainy climates – we end up overwatering. “Too much water can lead to shallow root growth and
promote the growth of fungi and diseases,” says Koch.
To prevent this problem, he advises deep but infrequent watering. “Watering deeply but infrequently will allow the soil to dry out between watering sessions, which will reduce the risk of disease and fungi and promote deeper grass root growth. In the case that overwatering occurs, let the soil dry and consider aerating. This can improve drainage and root growth by allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate more easily.”
4. Ignoring bare patches
While you might think a bare patch in your lawn is no big deal, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Koch tells me, “Bare patches in the
lawn are not only unsightly but also provide opportunities for weeds to take hold. The open spaces provide an opportunity for weeds to germinate and establish themselves without competition from grass.”
This can lead to weeds colonizing those empty spots and spreading throughout your lawn – creating an even bigger problem. So he recommends overseeding bare patches to encourage grass growth and prevent weed infestations.
5. Neglecting seasonal maintenance
Different seasons and climates require different lawn care practices. “Failing to adjust your lawn care routine based on the time of year can result in a lessthan-optimal lawn,” explains Koch. He suggests making seasonal plans. “For example, in the winter, you may want to focus your attention on planning for spring as opposed to applying any product or seed. In the fall, it’s best to get outside to fertilize and clean up debris.”

Here in Colorado, we’re used to mountains. Just look to the west, and they provide a wonderful backdrop (and some amazing sunset views). But at Barefoot Lakes, a new home community about 30 miles north of Denver, you also get something else that’s pretty spectacular: the calming presence of water. Speci cally, two namesake lakes that encourage you to start perfecting your paddling.
If you think that sounds ideal, you can see for yourself at Barefoot Lakes’ Doors to Oars Home Tour, happening Saturdays, July 20th, July 27th and August 3rd. Details on the event are below.
LIFE, LAKE-LIVED
Live at Barefoot Lakes, and you’ll quickly discover there’s plenty to do on or near the water – from
paddleboarding and kayaking to trying your luck at catching a bass, crappie, sun sh or bluegill from one of the designated shing spots. A 2.8-mile part gravel, part paved trail winds around the lakes and along the St. Vrain River, inviting joggers, walkers, bikers and parents with strollers. And Peninsula Park sits waterside, with a playground, an amphitheater, picnic lawn and shaded pavilions. Not many neighborhoods have nature like this right in their backyard, and Barefoot residents will be quick to tell you it’s one of the things they love most about living in the community.
FRESH NEW HOMES. WELL-KNOWN BUILDERS. (AND A FUN WAY TO SEE THEM)
Life near a lake is even better when the home you live in is equally beautiful. Barefoot Lakes’ three builder partners have thoughtfully designed oor plans that address

DESIGN RECIPES
Color blocking
By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service (TNS)
Have you ever looked at a space and wondered what makes it look so beautiful? Why do the colors work? Why the space feels so inviting? Color is one of those design tools that can
often make or break a space. Choose the wrong colors and a room feels disjointed. Choose the right colors and the same space comes to life and feels cohesive.
A designer technique called “color blocking” or “color mapping” is a trick of the trade that if used e ectively can
help to create a space that is colorful and cohesive without overwhelming.
Color blocking must haves:
• Pick a color to serve as the foundation for your color story.
• Repeat the color in various ways throughout the space.
• Create interesting opportunities to repeat color such as through artwork, upholstery, accessories, and accents.
Color blocking do’s and don’ts Do’s
• Do begin by choosing the colors in which to create your color palette. Typically selecting two to three colors is best.
• Do incorporate other elements in the space that include your color palette, such as artwork, area rugs, accessories, accents and even books.
• Do repeat and “map” your colors, sprinkling them throughout a room.
Don’ts
• Don’t choose colors that are all the same shade. It is acceptable to choose tints, tones and shades of a color.
• Don’t forget to incorporate negative color space in a room. Leaving “open” color opportunities will help those colors that are present to shine.
• Don’t avoid colors such as black and white. ese colors not only help to create an elegant sense of contrast but are also great foundation colors for modern design.

HOME AND GARDEN
Grow some pain relief in gardens and containers
By Melinda Myers Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (TNS)
Ease your way through the busy summer season with the help of some pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory garden produce. Add them to your garden or containers or purchase the produce at your local farmers market. Refresh and rejuvenate yourself with a cup of mint-infused tea or ice water. Mint also helps relieve headaches and general aches and pains. Contain this vigorous perennial herb by growing it in a container to prevent it from overtaking your garden beds. Take advantage of these benefits year-round by starting a few plants at the end of the growing season. Root a few cuttings to plant and grow in a sunny window.
Add sage tea to your list of favorite brews. Just harvest a few leaves, add hot water, and brew a bit of sore throat relief. Sage tea has long been used to soothe scratchy and irritated throats and showed positive results in a 2006 clinical trial. Grow this herb in the garden or a container. It thrives in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Harvest leaves as needed throughout the season. Regular harvesting
encourages more growth for future harvests. Harvest as much as one-third of the plant, to preserve and enjoy the benefits year-round.
You may have used a topical pain relief cream that contained capsaicin. This is the spicy element in chili, jalapeno, habanero and cayenne peppers and is a natural pain-fighting tool often used to help treat backaches, arthritis and muscle pain. Hot peppers are ready to harvest when they are

fully colored. Ask friends to share their harvest or purchase hot peppers at a farmers market if your garden lacks this plant.
Grow and use ginger to help reduce inflammation and combat migraines, muscle pain, arthritis and postworkout or post-gardening soreness. Plus, it helps fight nausea so common during a summer filled with barbecues and celebrations. Grow it in a pot outdoors or sunny window alongside your other indoor plants. Ginger is a tropical plant, but you can find plants or rhizomes, the part you eat, at many garden centers or online plant retailers. Or, try rooting the rhizomes you purchase at the grocery store to start new plants.
Sour cherries are credited with managing muscle pain and inflammation. They are loaded with disease-fighting chemicals and antioxidants and help fight inflammation and relieve pain. Growing a cherry tree may not be practical or possible but purchase plenty when they are in season. Juice, dry and preserve them to enjoy their health benefits all year.
If space allows, consider planting a sour cherry tree in your backyard.
Sour cherries do need a cold period with air temperatures between 34 and 45 degrees to initiate flowering for fruit development. Consult your local extension service for help selecting the best variety for your region. It takes several years for cherry plants to start producing fruit, but watching your tree grow into maturity and bear its first crop is part of the joy of gardening. Just be sure to protect the harvest from hungry birds.
When growing these, you’ll soon discover it’s not just the plants that provide relief. Just the simple act of tending your garden and harvesting can elevate your mood, lower your blood pressure and start you on the road to feeling better.
Melinda Myers has written more than 20 gardening books, including “The Midwest Gardener’s Handbook” and “Small Space Gardening.” She hosts the Great Courses’ “How to Grow Anything” DVD series and the syndicated “Melinda’s Garden Moment” program on TV and radio. ©2024 StarTribune.
