Aaron Ballard+FollowDenver property taxes set to climb in 2025Denver homeowners are facing a bigger school tax bill next year—even though Denver Public Schools actually lowered its tax rate. The catch? Skyrocketing home values and a surge in tax refunds (abatements) mean the district has to collect more from everyone else to make up the difference. For many, that’s an extra $192 or more, depending on your neighborhood’s reassessment. With decades of voter-approved bonds and rising costs for aging schools, DPS is locked into most of its tax rate. How do you feel about paying more for schools as property values soar? Let’s talk about what this means for our community. #RealEstate #Denver #PropertyTax10Share

Before you fall for that shiny clubhouse, double-check if the amenities are worth the extra cash in your budget. #RealEstate #HomeBuying #HOA00Share

davenportmeghan+FollowMortgage Rates: Should You Lock In Now?Heads up, home shoppers and refi dreamers! The Fed is likely to cut rates this week, but here’s the twist: lenders often drop mortgage rates before the Fed even makes it official. That means the low rates you see now might not get much lower after the big announcement. If you’re eyeing a new home or want to ditch your high-rate loan, keep tabs on rates daily and be ready to pounce. Sometimes, waiting for the news means missing the best deal! #RealEstate #mortgage #interestrates00Share
