Littleton Rehabilitation Program
By Kimberly Kingston, Littleton Housing Authority
In 1977 the Littleton Housing Rehabilitation Program was established to assist low-to-moderate income homeowners in the City of Littleton with financial and technical assistance to renovate their homes.
The benefits of the LHA Rehab Program far exceed that of just securing a line of credit at a financial institution. Banks provide loans, but they don’t provide someone who will work with you through the construction process, making sure the work is done completely and to current code. Our Program Coordinator has over 20 years of construction experience. Our Contractors are all licensed and insured. What this means to you is the work is done by professionals who warranty their work, and it is done in an efficient and timely manner.
Ravenna Golf Community
by Dennis Martin, Littleton Real Estate Expert
Southeast Denver has several luxury home communities on private Country Clubs. The southwest suburbs have very few high-end communities for the luxury home buyer. Now there is an alternative on my side of town.
Let your cares fade away in the rear view mirror. Set your sights on a place where children’s laughter mingles with the fragrance of pine trees. Where deer graze among rolling hills enclosing a privileged community that borders the Platte River and Waterton Canyon in Southwest Denver.
Ken Caryl Election
by Dennis Martin, Littleton Real Estate Broker
Having lived on the Ken Caryl Ranch for over 25 years and raised 3 children during that time, I’m still very active on the Ken Caryl Ranch.
Recently, we downsized and moved to the patio homes at Meadow Ranch but we have many friends who live on the Ken Caryl Ranch. Having sold Real Estate for over 30 years and many homes on the Ken Caryl Ranch, I understand that no homeowner wants to have their property taxes increase unless it will benefit the homeowner. In my opinion the proposed increase will benefit the homeowners of the Ken Caryl Ranch.
New Reservoir
by Denver relocation, Little Real Estate Expert
The Kiewit Gravel Pit has been transformed into the South Platte Reservoir near Dennis Martin, a popular Highlands Ranch suburb. Is that happening? To provide recreation opportunities and another water source to Highlands Ranch.
Play Ball at Coors Field
by Dennis Martin, Littleton Real Estate
Lower Downtown Denver was full of excitement and anticipation it was Opening Day at the Ballpark. Young and old lined the streets and the roof tops enjoying the sunny spring day. Music was playing from every local radio station as you walked the streets. It was a carnival atmosphere around 20th and Blake at our gorgeous Coors field.
Evans Ridge Estate
by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
"Shock and awe….Amazing….The best home I’ve ever seen, period".
This mountain-style retreat has everything you could want in a 42,000 square foot home nestled on a 72 rolling acres with views of The Rocky Mountains. This magnificent home took seven years to complete the perfect getaway for an affluent family. Actually, it is reminiscent of an exclusive corporate retreat with its 9 bedrooms and baths, indoor pool, bowling alley, exercise center and much, much more.
When To Buy Real Estate
by Dennis Martin, Selling Denver Real Estate Over 30 Years
When to call, hold or push it all in
I get asked every week by someone “is this a good time to buy” and my answer is yes, yes and yes. The Colorado market is not in the kind of trouble faced by many other areas of the country. There are pockets in the metro are that are actually seeing appreciation.
Denver looks to be under priced. Job growth and an educated work force will provide solid demand for housing. The FHA loan revival will help moderate income house holds buy their first homes. Builders are cutting back on new homes, so the timing seems perfect.
What about the foreclosure and short sale market?
Castle Pines North, Colorado
by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
Denver has a new suburb! Ok, it’s not exactly new. It’s been there for over 20 years. But, now Castles Pines North is the latest suburb to incorporate as its own city.
There is no police force yet, no city hall or even city ordinances. But, this new city voted in a City Council and Mayor just last month. But now, the real work begins. And, how will this effect it’s residents?
Discount Real Estate Broker?
By Mike Conway, Homeowner and Mortgage Broker
I have been a mortgage broker in the Denver real estate market for many years. 
I have seen good markets and bad. But,when it came to selling my own home in Littleton, I would only use the most qualified broker I could find to do it. I know selling by owner or getting a discount broker sounds like saving money. But, I don’t think so.
New Denver Jobs
by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
The Denver economy has been sustained by steady job growth and the resulting relocation of employees to fill a portion of those jobs. Now, more jobs are moving here.
Three major employers have recently announced expanding their businesses to the Denver metro area. The net effect will be thousands of new jobs over the next few years. Charles Schwab, ConocoPhillips and VMware will be bringing more jobs to the Denver suburbs.
