Why Are So Many Trees Dying in Colorado?

Image
On a recent trip on I-70 to evaluate some land for a client, I was confronted with sad but beautiful image of red forests stretching for miles across the hills. The image of a red "evergreen" contrasting against the green scenery is mesmerizing at first until you take a closer look at red death destroying millions of trees in Colorado. Beetle epidemics across the western United States are becoming more obvious every season with entire landscapes turning red and brown as trees die. In northwest Colorado the beetle epidemics, triggered by extended drought in aging forests, are intensifying at an alarming rate, and there is little that can be done to stop them. Actions can be taken to protect high value areas such as ski areas, developed campgrounds and trees in people’s yards. Hastening Death: Pine beetles carry a fungus on their body and legs. Once they enter the tree, the fungus multiplies and spreads. This blue stain fungus blocks the transport of water up the tree’s trunk

Hail-Resistant Roofs: Fact or Fiction?

Image
Colorado often experiences severe  hailstorms  that can cause devastating property damage. The Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association reports that Colorado’s Front Range and Wyoming’s eastern plains, commonly referred to as “hail alley,” receive the highest frequency of large hailstones in North America. Over the past 10 years, hailstorms have caused nearly $1.7 billion in damage to roofs and automobiles in hail alley. The damaging hailstorms generally occur mid-May through late July. Damages incurred to roofs during hailstorms can, however, be reduced with proper roof design and roofing product selection. A properly designed roof structure can substantially reduce hail damage. Several testing agencies have developed the following recommendations for the roof designer: Shingles made with polymer-modified (SBS) asphalt have better resistance to hail damage than shingles made from oxidized asphalt. Reroofing over an existing shingle system greatly increases the chance fo

IDXpro 3.0 vs 2.3

The long awaited IDXpro 3.0 is finally here, and sadly I am here to report that it is lagging behind many of the competitors in the market. I am speaking from my own experience using this system to search for homes in Metro Denver ( Metrolist MLS ). 1- Slow. The Search by map option is slow to say the least, in an attempt to show all the listings on the map, it takes 5-10 seconds for the map to populates (an eternity in Internet time), and every time the capture is changed the map has to go through the process of repopulating for another eternity. The advanced Home search function is not as friendly or as advanced as it should be: the search options are better than basic but they are still limited. 2- Subdivision search. This is one of the most important search features to both Realtors and Home buyers. This search option has two problems it did not have in version 2.3: This option has it's own page in the advanced search section eliminating the possibility of searching by city

Absorption Rate Definition

The rate at which a market can absorb additional units of supply without causing market saturation and severe price distortions. For example, during a recessionary period, many homeowners may list their house for sale. Since the supply of homes entering the home resale market increased without a corresponding increase in demand, the market absorption rate has been exceeded, and the market price of the resale homes declines. A simple definition is the number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales.

WHY TITLE INSURANCE?

A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING THE NEED AND THE VALUE It is vitally important for prospective homebuyers to thoroughly understand the process of purchasing a home and the potential risks associated with the property’s title. Most people don’t realize that the current owners of their prospective home - and their family and heirs — have extremely strong rights associated with the property. In addition, third parties may have liens against the title for anything from unpaid child support to outstanding parking tickets! In fact, it takes very little effort to place a lien on a property, but it can take a great deal of time and money to have it removed. What does title insurance cover? Once the title search has been concluded and curative work to resolve any issues has been completed, title insurance can then be issued. The title insurance policy protects policy owners against covered financial losses associated with claims against the title that were not discovered during the title search pro
