Jinjer Spears - Broker Associate

Jinjer Spears is a long time resident of the Parker-Lone Tree community just southeast of Denver, CO.  She is adept at taking ownership of her buyers and sellers' objectives with respect to the purchase or sale of residential properties.  Her level of honesty, integrity, customer service and professionalism is top-drawer.

 1. Median price of homes? 
Looking back from January 2012 to the fall of 2015, the median price of residential homes has increased steadily from $300,000 to $400,000 – THAT’S A 33% INCREASE.  The median for September 2015 closings was $419,000 and the median for October 2015 closings was $395,000.
 
2. Number of homes sold in 2014 and forecast for 2015? 
In Parker, a total of 2,326 residential properties sold in 2014; based on year-to-date sales for Parker through November 12, 2015, approximately 2,440 will be sold this year – a 5% increase in total transaction volume.  (For perspective, 1,443 homes sold back in 2010 – 40% fewer versus our 2015 forecast.)
 
3. How do sales prices compare to asking prices? 
For March through August of 2015, the sales price for most of the homes represented “No Discount” from the Seller’s asking price; that figure was 99.1% of asking price in September on that month’s closings and 98.4% in October for those closings.
 
4. How quickly might my home sell? 
Believe it or not, many brand new listings are going under contract within just 5 to 12 calendar days of the listing date – remarkable!  And they are closing within 25 to 45 calendar days of the under contract date depending on how each purchase is being financed by the buyer, all cash versus using a lender to finalize a mortgage.  Jinjer Spears will employ marketing tactics for your home which will maximize its resale value under these Seller’s Market conditions.

Claire Stowell - Agent

Claire is making a transition from the mobile technology (“smart phone”) industry into residential real estate and will focus her practice in the community of Arvada, Colorado.  Her stellar background includes a B.A. degree in Operations from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Claire’s aspiration is to provide Buyers and Sellers with a very high level of integrity, honesty and attention-to-detail so that each of her clients will reach the intended objective.  After surveying several firms, she joined The Cascade Team because of the overall value proposition TCT makes available to Sellers, especially those in a tight Seller’s Market such as Arvada . . . and because of the industry-leading Internet platform which continues to evolve and improve on a daily basis.
