Hidden River Neighborhood Sold Homes 2011
Feb 9th 12
Lately I’ve been writing about affordable housing in Parker, Colorado. Well, here is another neighborhood in Parker, Colorado that is reasonably priced and appears to be on the rebound. Sales numbers don’t lie.
Hidden River and Sagewood are sort of a neighborhood within a neighborhood. Sagewood is basically surrounded by Hidden River. The neighborhood is ideally located off Hilltop Road on the East side of Parker Road. Some lots in Hidden River have excellent views of the Front Range.
Previous Sold Homes numbers for Hidden River 2009
Here are the numbers for 2011.
- Total Homes Sold 40
- Average Days on Market = 102
- Average NET Sold Price = $251,882
- Average Price Per SQFT = $133
- Average Price Per Finished SQFT = $115
- Lowest Home sale for 2011 = $146,496
- Highest Sale for 2011 = $358,000
If you look back and see that in 2009 only 29 homes sold for an average of $136 per square foot. Compared to other Parker, CO neighborhoods this is not bad especially considering 11 more homes sold in 2011 versus 2009.

Steve’s Favorite Restaurants Around Denver
Jan 24th 12
Gourmet Food
In no particular order I will throw down a few of my favorite restaurants around Denver. I’m no food critic or a food snob. Well, maybe a food snob.
We all look for fun things to do with our wives , family and friends so why not support the economy and go out to eat. I remember 10 years ago when you wanted to go out to eat you better get an early start or have a reservation or forget about getting a seat. Restaurants were packed to the roof every night. Remember the boom time of the early 2000’s? I do.
-
- Best Restaurant period end of story – Fruition. Yum, just typing the name made me hungry. Try it or miss out on one of life’s great pleasures. You will not get in this place (usually) without a reservation. Not a place for kids. Date night or bring one other couple with you. It’s excellent and a fun place to eat and talk.
- ChoLon – 1555 Blake Street #101 Denver, CO 80202 - Very addictive dumplings. Don’t try to share these with your wife unless you both want to go home mad. Whoever eats the last one leaves the other person pissed. I’ve never been here for dinner just lunch and it’s always crowded.
- Colt & Gray – 1553 Platte Street #120 Denver, CO 80202 – Cool place with cool people and excellent food. Good date night with the wife or girl friend.
- Mizuna – 225 East 7th Avenue Denver, CO 80203 – I’ve been here twice and never disappointed. It’s just great food with awesome service. Both times we visited Mizuna we had a blast and left with a very happy belly.
We are going to be trying two other great restaurants in Denver soon. Our next outing will be
- Linger 2030 W. 30th Ave which we have reservations for. This place must be great since we could not get a reservation for almost a month out. I can’t wait. I have friends that eat here regularly (probably why we couldn’t get a reservation) and they all say this is the place to be. We’ll see.
- ll Posta – 2011 East 17th Avenue, Denver - This is another restaurant in Denver that has raving fans. We have a reservation here in a few weeks so I’m excited to see what they have to offer.
Anyway that’s my quick list with all the places that come to mind right now so they must be my favorites. If’ you were looking for fun things to do and wanted a list of good restaurants then here it is. Go try some and let me know what you think.

Control Your Destiny With Custom Home Search
Jan 24th 12
It’s a proven fact that home buyers start their home search online. NAR or the National Association of Realtors conduct yearly surveys of home buyers to see where and how they are searching for homes.
Recently NAR’s research showed us that over 80% of home buyers use the internet to search for homes. In my almost 13 years of real estate I’ve never once worked with a home buyer that didn’t use the internet.
“Typically buyers roam the NET skipping from site to site looking at different properties. I guess that’s OK but wouldn’t it be nice to have total control of your searches and be able to save those searches so you don’t have to re-enter the same search criteria over and over again?”
Benefits of using our easy home search system:
- Saved Searches. Enter and save as many different searches as you like. Track homes in several different neighborhoods and price ranges.
- Email Alerts. Setup automatic emails so that you receive the latest listings in your “Saved Searches.” You will be emailed as soon as any new listings pop on the market or when there are price changes to listings. You can set these emails so they come daily or weekly or monthly. You decide.
- Detailed Search. With our MAP search you can actually trace a line around the areas you want to search or even down to a specific street and have the system update you any new listings within that small area.
- Never have to login again. With these “Saved Home Searches” you never have to wonder around the web looking for MLS access again. Save the link to the main Search Panel in your Bookmarks and use it each time you are ready to view homes.
- Sold Homes. If you would like regular emails about sold homes in your area so you can learn values or just see what your neighbor’s home “really” sold for just ask. We can set that up too. Steven Beam Parker, CO Realtor. 303-941-4663

Horse Creek Real Estate Market Report 2011
Jan 24th 12
Map of Horse Creek Neighborhood
We show and list homes for sale in Horse Creek 7 days a week. Call 303-941-4663 for a showing or to sell your home today.
Horse Creek has another good normal year in home sales. My thoughts are that Horse Creek has substantially benefited from two major developments; one in the real estate market and one due to development around the neighborhood.
The two major factors helping Horse Creek.
- New home builders are not producing as many new homes as they once were. The result is that Parker, Colorado home buyers wanting a new or newer home must look to re-sale homes. Buyers wanting the latest and greatest can easily find that at a reasonable price in Horse Creek since the neighborhood and homes are all newer having been built withing the last 10 years.
- Access and convenience and location, location location we all know are key elements for a good neighborhood. Well the access to major roads and shopping to and from Horse Creek just doesn’t get much better. Mainstreet connects with I-25 now and Chambers Road easily connects up with Lincoln and E-470. In tow days on January 24, 2012 Hess Road will finally open with direct access from Horse Creek to I-25 and Castle Pines parkway. What more could you want. Multiple ways to enter and return from Denver and the DTC. And…don’t forget the light rail terminal at the Lincoln and I-25 exit.
Realtors and home buyers have long speculated that with the opening of the cut through roads to I-25 all of the neighborhoods around those roads would benefit and I believe we are staring to see that take place with Horse Creek.
Horse Creek had 41 homes sold in 2011 with an average days on market of 107 days. The average sales price is down to $304,223 or 7.52% from the highs one year ago. The average price per square foot is $123 and $117 per finished sqft. The highest sales price for 2011 in Horse Creek was $402,000 and the lowest sale was recorded at $196,572. Total sales volume ended up being $12,473,134.

Hess Road to I-25 to Open January 24, 2012
Jan 20th 12
Hess Road to I-25 in Parker Opening January 24, 2012.
Finally! The day has come that Hess Road or “Stress Road” as Parker residents call it will open to traffic. After a few months delay yes it will really happen.
The planned opening is January 24th around 11AM. There will be a ceremony to mark the event with we have all been waiting for.
Hess Road in Parker, Colorado will now take you directly from Parker over to I-25 and connect up with the Castle Pines Exit off I-25. This will save many of us a lot of time going forward and should break up a lot of the morning and evening traffic on Lincoln Ave. We all can already tell a huge difference in traffic with the recent opening of Mainstreet to I-25. That alone has made a huge difference.
