More Hotel Rooms in Northern Colorado!
Good news for Loveland and Northern Colorado as a whole. Stonebridge Cos is planning on developing another hotel at Centerra in Loveland. It will be a 101 room Courtyard by Marriott right off Sky Pond Drive at the 34 and I-25 interchange. As we draw more and more large conferences and become a tourist destination, this is delivering on a big need in our area. Another interesting stat about the Centerra area is that it is home to companies that employ over 7,000 people, so as those companies grow and draw in more business, hotels will be in even higher demand. All good news for Northern Colorado! If you have any questions about this development or anything else going on in Northern Colorado, feel free to drop me a line!
New Big Commercial Project Coming To Old Town Fort Collins
While we see redevelopment of a lot of the buildings and areas in Old Town, one is already taking orders from tenants for space and it has not even broken ground yet! The Exchange will be a mixed use commercial development at the corner of Riverside and Walnut in Old Town Fort Collins, and will be built using old shipping containers (a more and more popular type of construction believe it or not!). It will deliver just over 30,000 square feet of office, retail, and restaurant space to the area.
If you have questions about this development or anything else going on in the Fort Collins or Loveland areas, feel free to give me a call!

How Much Equity Do I Really Have? FIND OUT!
Good morning everyone! The last couple of weeks we have talked about why it continues to be a Sellers market in Northern Colorado (see info below). If you are a Buyer though, remember there ARE opportunities out there!
But the question remains, “I’ve heard how great the market is, but how much money do I REALLY have in my home?” You’re in luck! I would love to show you exactly how much equity you have in your home with a complimentary real estate review. We will talk about the comparable sales in your neighborhood, why and how they affect your value, and how the market changes in general affect your specific home.
Call me, email me, or text me so we can setup a time to review the value of your home. You’ve got nothing to lose but potentially MANY THOUSANDS to gain!
The Health Of The NoCo Market
I think by this point if you have been reading my blog, you are pretty well aware that we currently have a very fast moving and healthy real estate market here in Northern Colorado. While it’s all good and well to know this in your gut, let’s take a look at some stats that really prove that point.
If you look back over the last 30 years, the Fort Collins/Loveland appreciation levels have been negative only 6 of those years, 3 of which were during the worst recession of our lifetimes (unless you lived through the Great Depression!). Here are some other interesting statistics that show the health of our market:
- Fort Collins/Loveland area is # 11 on the top 259 markets for home price appreciation in the country
- Greeley is #12, Denver is #14, and Boulder is #15 of the top 259 markets
- Colorado is # 2 (only behind Oregon) for 1 year home price appreciation IN THE COUNTRY! Florida, Washington, and Nevada round out that top 5 list
If you would like to know how all of this good news affects your home’s value or your ability to buy a new home, I would love to talk to you, so give me a call or shoot me an email!
Your New Property Tax Valuation…..WOW!
If you own a home in Larimer County, you are probably excited about the increase in equity over the last few years due to the appreciation level we have seen. If you are buying a home in Larimer County right now, don’t worry you aren’t left out in the cold, the prognosis for property values in the next 5 years is still good! But there is one fly in the ointment when it comes to appreciation, and those are your property taxes. The county assessor is re-assessing values, and most of these are going to be going up. The way that the Assessor looks at values is interesting, and if you would like help trying to fight your tax value and getting it lower, I can pull the specific information that is required to do that, and show you the steps. Give me a call or shoot me an email if you are interested and we can talk more about the details!
