Camping with kids in Colorado is big FUN!
Jul 20th 10
Lake Baldwin in Colorado - Elevation 12,088
Every kid remembers their very first real camping trip. I’m not talking about a tent in the backyard but a real camping trip up in the Colorado high country. I highly suggest it if you are looking for fun things to do with your kids.
Campsite
Last week my 5 year old son and I took a two night camping trip up to Mount Antero outside Buena Vista, Colorado with our great friends and neighbors Steve & Connor Smith.
Adventure Hike around the lake
This was a full on guys camping trip which included the following: adventure hikes, campfires, fishing, NEW pocket knifes for the boys, (all fingers made it home fine) marsh mellows, steak cooked over an open fire, panning for gold in the river, BB gun shooting, a true Colorado weather event with hail, sleet and rain all at once, hiking on a glacier, and yes the coveted brand new wrist rockets (That video is funny) otherwise known as sling shots. Steve & I actually dominated the playing time with the sling shots as we were hurling stones into the lake about 100 yards away. I highly recommend wrist rockets for your next camping trip!
No matter where you decide to go Steve & I both decided that we were going to make every effort on our part to make sure the boys had a great time, were safe and stayed warm.
It can be a daunting task for some kids to jump out of the high tech world we live in and into nature where there are no electronics to entertain them at their whim. Both boys were excellent and not one single complaint was filed about not having a TV or other comforts of home. I was very happy.
View from our camp.
The road up to this campsite was about 1.5 hours of serious 4 wheel drive action. Some of it probably not doable in a smaller SUV with low ground clearance. However or wherever you decide to go isn’t the issue. The main thing is that you get out and enjoy your kids and the Colorado back country.
Other links to fun things to do in and around Parker Colorado.
I still remember my first big camping trip with my Dad and I’m sure these kids will too. It’s amazing how in such a short period of time and at a young age a lifetime of memories can be made. We have been home for over a week now and my son has asked to go camping just about everyday so I’m sure another trip is just around the corner.
“There will always be work excuses and reasons to put off a great trip like this. Life is way too short and we have entirely too little time with our kids as young people to not do something like this. Work can wait so go have fun!”

Video helps sell Million Dollar home in Pradera Golf Club
Apr 22nd 10
“I listed this home for sale at $1,200,000 in the Pradera Golf Course and sold it in 8 days with the power of video!”
When you NEED maximum exposure for your property and it’s time to sell call me and I’ll be happy to show you how we syndicate your home across the NET. Steven Beam uses the power of video to help get the job done.
Video accomplishes several things for a home sale.
- It will expose your hoe to literally thousands of byers looking on the web for homes. Video give buyers a much better depth perception of room sizes and dimensions than a photo or those outdated BUBBLE EYED virtual tours.
- It gets buyers into the house that may not normally have been able to find the home. Video is search able and can be found on the web. Don’t believe me? Google this address (4981 raintree circle) How many times is it on the first page of google? A LOT!
- Video keeps buyers out of the house too. If they don’t like what they see in the video they can cross it off their list and it keeps unwanted showings out of your home.

Parker Colorado Real Estate Market Update

Parker Colorado Real Estate Update
The real estate market in Parker Colorado and South Metro Denver is on fire. The current market activity reminds me of the late 1990’s and the early 2000’s.
My listings are going under contract at record speed and the inventory for buyers is shrinking compared to 2 years ago. I have also noticed that the homes that are for sale have been well maintained as the sellers have really worded hard to get them into show quality condition. I’m noticing updates on homes that were not previously there such as granite, tile and new carpet and paint.
“I see many homes back on the market now that were listed last year with unrealistic asking prices and definitely not in show condition. These homes have been spruced up and re-listed for sale with new lower prices.”
I seriously need more homes/listings for the current demand. Call so we can sell your property. Steven Beam 303-941-4663.
All indications point to a great year in real estate sales. Enjoy 2010!
Sincerely,
Steven Beam, Parker Colorado Realtor.

The Home Buyer Tax Credit is Going Away!
Apr 2nd 10
Home Buyer Tax Credit
I guess we can all kiss the government Home Buyer Tax Credit bye, bye, bye. From the reports I’ve read and information I’ve heard it appreas to be going away with not much of a chance for a second extension.
NAR , The National Association of Realtors, appears to have given up hope of getting it extend and posted this information on a website.
“NAR has had extensive discussions with congressional allies and concluded that an additional extension of the tax credit is unlikely. While lawmakers recognize that the tax credit helped stabilize the market, it appears that much of the benefit has been realized. NAR is now focusing on improving the availability of financing.”
Well that sure is a bummer but at least we know they are going to now try and work out the many wrinkles in the mortgage industry. This should be interesting going forward.
Congratulations to all you buyers and sellers that took advantage of the tax credit and received your benefits.

Stonegate Neighborhood Pool Additions Almost Complete!
Apr 2nd 10
New Clubhouse for the Stonegate Pool
Stonegate neighborhood in Parker Colorado is receiving a massive remodel/face lift/addition to the “SOUTH” pool and looks like it should be completed pretty soon. My kids are excited and cannot wait for the new kids pool.
This was a total shock to most residents as most had no idea this was even on the schedule to be done. Even better it didn’t cost any Stonegate homeowners any extra money.
I can’t wait to see the inside of this new clubhouse and pool are when it’s done. I can see that there will be some nice parties this summer in this new space.
There is no doubt that this massive improvement will help the home sales in the Stonegate neighborhood.
