The snow is finally melting and it is time to get outside your house and enjoy some of the activities the Denver area has to offer. This is the time of year where we get 80 degrees one day and a wet snow the next so get out and enjoy. I found this site to have some really cool ideas and events that you can enjoy in Denver.

I especially like the Chalk Festival in Larimer Square in Downtown Denver. 

I had to share this do it yourself shed posted on familyhandyman.com
It is part doll house, part tiny house and part shed. I think I will build one of these at my next house. Such a great asset though to have a shed to store all the "stuff" we need to take care of a house. Sure does free up that needed space in the garage. The website has several cool options and you can print off the plans as well as a materials list. I have it linked from my Facebook page

Currently the Denver Real Estate market is in a strong appreciation phase that does not look to be letting up. Inventories are low and the demand is still high. There seem to be two types of properties listed currently. Ones that have heard the news and allowed emotion to get them and priced way over the market. The other homes that are priced right seem to go under contract in just days. Pricing is tricky and you need a qualified real estate professional to do a deep market analysis on a property to try and catch it right. The key is to take the current market, factor in past appreciation, current inventory levels and what the next 30 day projection should look like. In a perfect world you price your home to "catch" the appreciation at its peak. Getting way over asking price is nice but the home still has to appraise, so be careful at the same time. You can get to appraisal and the whole deal falls apart as the home won't appraise for the value you went under contract for. 

Denver was rated the "Best Place to Live in the USA" by US News & World Report in 2016. They noted high quality of life, job market and overall health of the economy as important factors in this rating. As we know the real estate market here is showing signs of this boon as well.

This is a really creative way to improve a basic slab of concrete like a patio. With a little extra work watch how they turn this into a custom patio look.
