10 Homebuyer Mistakes to Avoid
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010 at 3:53pm. 32 Views, 0 Comments.
1. Not checking your credit report and score
Review your credit score report a few months before you begin your house hunt, and you'll have time to ensure the facts are correct and dispute mistakes before a mortgage lender checks your credit. You can access a free copy of your credit report at annualcreditreport.com once every 12 months.
2. Not getting approved
Getting preapproved can help you save time by looking for homes that you know you can afford instead of lusting after something out of your price range. And it will put you in a better position over another bidder with no preapproval.
3, Not creating a long-term budget
A good rule of thumb is to devote no more than a third of your monthly household income to housing costs, which include…

Steamboat Springs native Gates Gooding, 27, released a preliminary report last week titled “The Impacts of Development: Assessing Growth in Steamboat Springs.” The report measures how four future, growth-related scenarios — no accommodation for new growth, approval of Steamboat 700, county re-zoning, and infill within city limits — would affect four community values ranked highly by about 140 area residents at an event last month at Olympian Hall in Howelsen Lodge. Gooding organized that event to collect data for the…

Taylor Fletcher opened the season with several strong…

by Chris Paoli
This has been a question on my mind for a long time. Unfortunately I did not have a great resource for accessing this information until a very good friend of mine invited me to a special presentation by Randy Rowe , President of Green Courte Partners. Mr. Rowe’s presentation to a select group of the Steamboat Springs real estate community was focused on what current economic indicators were telling us vs. the opinions.
