In keeping the Denver’s next hot hoods theme going, this week I want to focus on Wheat Ridge. The hot part of Wheat Ridge is roughly 26th north to 44th and Sheridan west to Wadsworth. More specifically, the areas around 26th bordering Edgewater and just west of Sheridan from about 32nd to 35th around Panorama Park.

When I’m trying to identify which hoods should take off next, I look a lot at architecture and location. Wheat Ridge isn’t going to blow you away with it’s architecture, mostly it will be 50’s ranches with a few two stories thrown in. The location though is definitely what is driving the market in Wheat Ridge.

Wheat Ridge doesn’t boast a lot of colorful town centers like Highlands does, but it is just

Denver recently announced the Metro Morgage Assistance plus program as a way to help more buyers reach the goal of homeownership. This program provides buyers with a 4% grant, that does not have to be repayed, that can be used towards a down payment and or closing costs.

Last week I did a blog post about Denver’s next hot hoods. I got a lot of interest from it so thought I would try to make it a weekly post. This week I’m highlighting an area I’ve been working in like crazy lately, North Park Hill.

North Park Hill is on fire right now and it really surprise me how not many people are talking about it. North Park Hill is roughly Colorado Boulevard east to Quebec and Martin Luther King Boulevard north to I-70. It is easy to understand why it gets overshadowed by true Park Hill with it’s stunning architecture and ever growing price tag. But like Edgewater and Wheat Ridge which are benefiting greatly from the growing price tag of Highlands, North Park Hill is reaping the same rewards too.

The latest data from Metrolist® announced today, home values in the Denver metro area increased 5 percent in April, while homes continue to be scooped up at a breakneck pace.

Homes put up for sale in the Denver area averaged 56 days on market, compared to 90 days this time last year, marking a 38 percent change. The number of homes sold increased 9 percent from March and 21 percent since this time last year. As a result of high demand from buyers and limited supply of homes, home prices have reached levels not seen since the peak in 2006.

"There’s no question the Denver market remains hot," said Metrolist CEO and President Kirby Slunaker. "The numbers we’re seeing are aligning with the stories we are hearing from Realtors who are on the

I get asked all the time, what is the next hot neighborhood in Denver? As I’m out showing properties, and being on the constant look out as an investor myself, I’m always searching for the next hot hood for my clients to get into before it takes off. I recently read about the hottest hoods in the May issue of 5280 Magazine. While I agree with them, they aren’t exactly groundbreaking or surprising. So I thought I would dig a little deeper and give you my personal opinion on some neighborhoods that I expect big things from in the next five years. Each week I will highlight a new neighborhood and hopefully give you a few more options to think about.

I surprise most people when I tell them that I believe downtown is going to be one of
