Why Older Denver Homes May Be Worth More Than New Construction
In this episode of The Denver Homes Market Report, we’re talking about two big things happening in Denver’s real estate and neighborhood landscape.First, First Friday Art Walk on Santa Fe Drive continues on September 4th and every first Friday of the month—even while a major streetscape and infrastructure project gets underway along Santa Fe Drive. Construction is expected to continue for the next two years, making it more important than ever to support the local galleries, restaurants, shops, and businesses that make the Arts District on Santa Fe such a unique part of Denver. And yes—First Friday continues, with no construction work taking place during the event.Then we take a look at an interesting Denver real estate question: Can an older home actually be worth as much—or even more—than a brand-new home in the same neighborhood?There are some compelling reasons why. Many homes built in the 1950s and 1960s were constructed with materials and craftsmanship that can be difficult to replicate today. And unlike new construction, older homes have already had decades to prove themselves. Foundation movement, settling, structural issues, and other potential problems have often already revealed themselves—and been addressed—or never became problems at all.Meanwhile, with a brand-new home, there’s always an element of the unknown. How will the foundation and soil perform over the next 10, 20, or 30 years?For Denver home buyers and sellers, age isn’t necessarily a liability—and new construction isn’t automatically better.🎨 First Friday Art Walk: September 4th and every first Friday🏡 Denver Real Estate: Older homes vs. new construction🏗️ Santa Fe Drive: Major streetscape and infrastructure improvements📍 Arts District on Santa Fe: Support local businesses during constructionSubscribe to The Denver Homes Market Report for monthly insight into Denver real estate, home values, neighborhoods, market trends, and what’s really happening in the Denver housing market.#DenverRealEstate (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/denverrealestate) #DenverHomes (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/denverhomes) #DenverRealEstateMarket (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/denverrealestatemarket) #FirstFridayDenver (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/firstfridaydenver) #SantaFeDrive (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/santafedrive) #ArtsDistrictOnSantaFe (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/artsdistrictonsantafe) #DenverHomesForSale (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/denverhomesforsale) #NewConstruction (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/newconstruction) #HistoricHomes (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/historichomes) #DenverHousingMarket (https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/denverhousingmarket)

The Advice that cost me a commission / Home Inspections are NOT pass / Fail
Welcome to Season 7, Episode 3 of The Denver Homes Market Report with Ricky Schoonover of 8z Real Estate.
This month, we're discussing what it truly means to be a real estate professional and advocate for your clients. Sometimes the best advice isn't the advice that immediately benefits the Realtor. I share a recent client story where homeowners were initially prepared to sell their townhouse at a loss. After reviewing their goals and financial situation, we explored an alternative strategy: keeping the property as a rental, building additional equity over time, and still moving forward with the purchase of their next home.
I also break down one of the most misunderstood parts of a real estate transaction: the home inspection. Contrary to what many people hear on social media, inspections are not pass-or-fail tests. A home inspection is a visual, non-invasive snapshot of a property's condition on a specific day. Inspectors identify potential concerns and help buyers determine when specialized contractors or experts should be brought in for further evaluation. While inspections provide valuable information, they cannot uncover every issue hidden behind walls, under floors, or within mechanical systems.
In this episode you'll learn:
• When renting may make more financial sense than selling
• How a Realtor's fiduciary responsibility should guide client recommendations
• What a home inspection actually is—and what it isn't
• Common misconceptions about inspection reports
• How inspections can save buyers money by identifying when specialists are truly needed
• Why no inspection can guarantee a home's future condition
Whether you're buying, selling, investing, or relocating to the Denver Metro area, this episode provides practical insights to help you make informed real estate decisions.
