Doing more with less is a popular trend these days. One of Jennifer Pollock’s real estate clients and downtown Denver enthusiasts took this theme to the extreme by buying a super small condo in Capitol Hill neighborhood of downtown Denver. Ginger was able to stretch her home buying dollar by choosing a smaller space and modifying it so that it functions like a palatial pad. Let’s take a look how Ginger made living in 440 square feet feel like so much more.
Ginger shows off her sewing room underneath her bed! Click on the pic to see the full photo album.
When you enter Ginger’s place you immediately see that it is no ordinary 440 sq ft condo. Vertical spaces are smartly thought through and utility maximized. She had the refrigerator raised to allow wine storage underneath and lots of wall shelving creates surfaces for small items. She even had small shelving for spices mounted above her upper kitchen cabinets.
Ginger doesn’t use her wood burning fireplace, so she used that space too! A colorful yarn bouquet is decoratively arranged inside the hearth and slab stone surround creates extra seating space during parties. The brick fireplace was painted white, creating a clean, modern, and bright focal point to anchor the room.
Doubling your room space is easy by simply raising the bed off the ground. We call it space conservation! Smart Ginger created a functional sewing room in the space that otherwise would have been used only by dust bunnies. To reach her bed without a trampoline, she added a compact wooden staircase. Even the staircase has hidden storage inside!
Ginger chose a sophisticated and modern color palette of yellow, red, and white throughout her downtown Denver condo. This created a cohesive design that perfectly blends the living room and bedroom areas into one, helping keep the space visually uncluttered.
Special thanks go out to Ginger for giving us a tour of her tiny condo in downtown Denver. If you’re interested in buying in Denver, there are many Capitol Hill condos to choose from. Condo prices range from $25,000 to $1,000,000.

The biggest thing happening with home loans right now are the changes coming up for FHA mortgage rates. These changes which will take place on April 1, 2012 are no laughing matter. Slight increases are coming, making FHA loan rates a little more pricey.
Before we dive into the changes, I bet you’d like to know what is an FHA loan? The advantages of an FHA loan for you are a lower down payment, a lower interest rate, and the underwriting process is more lenient to your situation because it’s insured. What the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) does is insure the loan to the lender against any losses. So what that means to the borrower is that you’ll usually get a lower rate and the lender will be more flexible on an applicant’s qualification. This is because if the FHA loan goes into default, the lender is insured by FHA. FHA loans are popular with Denver first time home buyers and even more so lately with second time move-up home buyers.
Now back to the FHA mortgage rate increases. To explain these changes, we contacted an expert in Denver mortgages, Ben Yost of Nova Home Loans, to help clarify things. He said that on April 1, 2012, the annual FHA mortgage insurance premium is going up. This upfront premium is currently at 1% and as of April 1st it will change to 1.75%.
There’s many pieces involved in successfully buying a home in our beautiful Mayfair neighborhood in Denver. . To get to the home buying finish line, a savvy financial move would be to talk with a lender ASAP even if you won’t be ready to buy for another nine months from now. Lending has become more complicated, with more restrictions and hoops to jump through. Ben Yost says there are three main things a lender will look at in order to give you the lo-down on your loan pre-approval and those are: your income, down payment, and credit scores. The lender will review your application, run your credit report, and analyze your situation. If there are job gaps, credit report problems, or anything else, talking with a Denver FHA lender in advance can prepare your financial picture for the day you’re ready to make your housing dreams come true.

Surprise, surprise, Denver is experiencing a housing shortage. Inventory of unsold homes in the $200k to $350k price range in Denver, CO is down, way down. Active inventory is shrinking and is down -40% year over year! This is great news for sellers across Denver.
Affordable properties like these are selling quickly in Denver
Denver is experiencing a tight home inventory period. Buyers are still finding affordable property to upgrade to. There’s plenty of buyers and very few homes that people want to buy, creating this housing shortage. The Denver Post calls this a lack of “compelling” inventory. All the great, move-in condition homes and affordable properties are being snapped up quickly, leaving the undesirable, overpriced homes behind.
Inventory is selling quickly and drying up in Denver’s historic neighborhoods. These properties are moving into and out of the market fast as buyers pick up the best Denver homes and most affordable Denver properties first. In fact, I’m currently working with seven buyers that can’t find the property they need. Unless more homes come up for sale soon, these buyers will have a long wait to find their dream home.
With housing affordable and mortgages cheap, there’s hopeful indicators leading to a strong spring home-buying season. According to the National Association of Realtors, the national average commitment rate for a 30 year fixed-rate mortgage was 3.92%. That’s a record low! There’s plenty of buyers and investors competing for foreclosure sales and affordable properties with 23 percent of national home sales being sold to investors.
Are you thinking about selling your home? Buyers are looking for updated Denver homes in turnkey condition. I can evaluate your property and give you advice on how to prepare your home for sale and how to get top dollar for you. Now is a great time to take advantage of Denver’s housing shortage and prepare for your spring home sale and begin shopping for your next dream home.
If you’ve been thinking a change of scenery is right for you, call me, I’m Jennifer Pollock, a top Denver real estate agent. In 2011 my average list-to-sold price was 99.5% and my average days on the market was 29.5 days! I’m serious about real estate and I love what I do. Call me or text any time 720-495-9404. It would be my pleasure to serve you.

The least expensive home in Mayfair sold for $125,000 and was financed through a conventional home loan. This was the most affordable home sold that I’ve seen this year and even last year. It is a three bedroom, one bath, single family brick home.
The average sold price in January 2012 for the Mayfair neighborhood was $330,475. The average square foot price sold was $149.
Mayfair is an established neighborhood In central Denver that’s close to downtown, shopping centers, and Denver cultural events. The hallmarks of this lovely area are its tall trees, friendly neighbors, and brick bungalows.
