I’ll admit, I’m definitely putting some of the homebuying issue on myself by living in an expensive metro area. Good to hear there are still places that you can find good houses in. ...

If houses were *just* selling for $50k over asking, I think we’d be ok. But, that’s not the case. The trend now is selling for $50k over asking, with no appraisal gap, with no inspection, sight unseen, with all cash. We bid $40-50k over asking regularly but still can’t win against all cash. Oh...

Wow, this thread really spiraled. [quote]If they have the ability to work remote, they should be looking at other places to live. The reality is living the urban city lifestyle that many younger people want is simply too expensive for most people now. That is becoming solely the realm of the w...

Yep. All of my friends in their mid 20s are quite successful and few have a chance to buy anything in their chosen metropolitan areas. Most are just hoping for a crash in the next 10 years. Can’t even imagine how it is for the average mid-20s person nowadays! ...

Are there really that many millenials & Gen Z’ers (especially Gen Z) who can enter the housing market anytime soon? My friends on the border of millenial & Gen Z are all making way above median HH income for our age but no chance of entering the housing market on anything but a condo anytime soo...

My personal favorite restaurant in Denver is Safta. It’s Israeli food and very good. The lamb hummus is amazing. Odell and Oskar Blues are IMO the best breweries. Guava Rodeo at Oskar is my favorite beer ever. Onefold is the consensus best breakfast/brunch restaurant, but it can get a little...

Mehhhhh, sure the actual mountains are obviously prettier than Denver. Colorado Springs and Boulder too. But there’s a whole lot of other areas of Colorado to live besides Denver and those other places. I definitely prefer the aesthetic of Denver to East Colorado, GJ, Pueblo. The whole area arou...

Denver, trashier than Louisiana??? :lol: :lol: :lol:...

You’re ahead of us if you’re in range for a house. In our market we can only afford condos and townhomes......

Don’t come in August or September. It’ll be very smoky in all likelihood. ...

Upper Peninsula of MI, northern Minnesota, PNW, northeast small towns are the best for that time IMO August and September, and parts of July and Oct, are somewhat to extremely smoky in the Rockies and Sierras. If you were doing March to June, 1000% Rockies or Sierras...

I wouldn’t say Steamboat is much less of a drive than Aspen - Aspen is about 3.25 hrs from Denver and Steamboat is about 2.75 hours without traffic. Both take 70 so no real difference in traffic either. Park City at about 40 minutes from the AIRPORT is way more convenient than either. ...

We honestly have looked into the Springs. You can find a nice house for $400k down there. A bargain! :lol: ...

Dang, that is great to know. I honestly saw good reviews on them online and figured they were fine. My email is dodo1331@gmail.com. I have a more professional email but would prefer to not post it on here. :lol: Thank you so much for any help you have in advance!! ...

[quote] quote: Gf and I make over 200 combined and we had massive issues trying to buy a house. That is plenty of money earned to afford an expensive house. What exactly is your issue?[/quote] You are seriously overestimating how much $200k runs in cities like Denver. Don’t even get me sta...

We started out with Better Mortgage. They gave us a relatively good deal so haven’t shopped around much. Any suggestions? ...

Good luck. We are currently in the process of attempting to buy property in Denver as first time homebuyers and it’s like pulling teeth. I can’t imagine trying to do this with a family...
