February Denver home sales are steady in preliminary results
By Lon Welsh, Your Castle Real Estate
While we wait for Metrolist, Denver MLS to release the official Denver home sales for February, I have compiled some preliminary results. These suggest that the Denver real estate market continues to “hold its own’ especially in comparison to other national markets.

Marijuana Grow Rooms
Posted by: | CommentsCarl Brahe, Guest Author, Certified Home Inspector, CCI
Growing marijuana can be legal in Colorado but it raises more home inspection issues.
As medical marijuana becomes legal in more states like Colorado, it also becomes legal to grow at home for certain people. The number of houses and commercial buildings that are used for growing marijuana is increasing. Grow rooms are becoming more common and can cause great damage if improperly built or operated.
Poorly wired or overloaded circuits can result in fire, shock or damage to electronic equipment. Read More→

Roberts School Serves Stapleton as part of Denver Public School
You may have read about the controversy in Stapleton over the school shortage.
I recently heard about a Realtor whose clients weren’t even expecting a child yet, but ruled out Stapleton because they heard that their unborn child may need to be bussed/dropped off to an outside neighborhood.
The good news is that the residents of Stapleton, Forest City – the developer of Stapleton, and Denver Public Schools are all working together to solve this problem with the short term and long term in mind.
There are currently 4 schools in Stapleton. Westerly Creek Elementary , William Roberts , Read More→
