Spring 2023 Outlook

Spring. In a less chaotic market, this is generally the time when buying and selling really ramps up. But this is 2023, post-pandemic and with a market that still finds itself in a lot of flux thanks to some economic uncertainty and high mortgage rates. Inventory is still very limited, exaggerated because of the lasting impact of the historic loss of homes in Boulder County a little over a year ago and the painfully slow rebuilding process homeowners are faced with. If one dwells on the challenges, it’s easy to miss the glimmers of light, especially since there are contradictory opinions depending upon which expert’s perspective you are reading or listening to.

I think it’s important to remember that up until the pandemic, the market was a speeding locomotive traveling at what, at times, felt like warp speed. Home values were increasing by leaps and bounds and, while it most likely didn’t mean a boost in cash flow and daily finances, on paper net worth did grow, exponentially for some. And though, yes, homes have lost some value during the past six months, the value of homes in this area are still much higher than just a few years, and in many cases, by a significant amount.

According to the DMAR January report, there are definitely signs of movement, though not as accelerated as the past few years. In January the Denver Metro area had 4,120 in active inventory, with nearly half that number of closed homes (2,041) and an average 46 days on the market. ough lower than this time last year, the average close price was still $626,311 and the median close price $536,500.

Time for financial ‘spring cleaning’

Offered by: Tim Roberts - Edward Jones

Nowthat we’ve put winter behind us — at least on the calendar — it’s time for us to think about sprucing up our homes, inside and out. But it also may be time to do some financial spring cleaning. Some of the same ideas involved in tidying up your home can also be used to help put your financial house in order. Here are a few suggestions:

• Dust off your investment strategy. As you look around your home, you might find that many items — tables, desks, bookshelves, and computer and television screens — could benefit from a good dusting. And, once you’ve accomplished this, you’ll get a clearer view of all these objects. Similarly, your investment strategy needs to be “dusted off” every so often, so you can see if it’s still working to help you move toward your financial goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Over time, your personal circumstances and risk tolerance can change, and these changes may lead you to reexamine your future financial and investment decisions.

• De-clutter your portfolio. if you took a survey of your home, would you find duplicates or even triplicates of some things — brooms, vacuum cleaners, toasters, and so on? If so, it may be time to do some de-cluttering. And the same could be true of your portfolio — you might have several identical, or substantially identical, investments taking up space. If so, you might want to replace these redundancies with investments that can improve your diversification. While diversification can’t guarantee profits or protect against losses in a declining market, it may help reduce the impact of market volatility on your holdings.

• Get organized. If your closets are overstuffed, with clothes and miscellaneous items crammed on shelves and the floor, you may well have trouble finding what you’re looking for — but with a little straightening up, your searches will become much easier. And when you’re trying to locate financial documents, such as investment statements or insurance policies, you’ll also benefit from having everything organized in one central location. Even if you get most of these documents online, you can save what you need and keep them in a file on your desktop, laptop or tablet. (And it’s also a good idea to tell your spouse, adult child or another close relative how these documents can be accessed, just in case something happens to you.)

• Protect yourself from dangers. If you look around your garage, shed or other storage area, you may well find some objects — such as gardening tools, paint thinners, engine fluids and leaning ladders — that could be dangerous if they aren’t stored properly. As part of your spring cleaning, you’ll want to remove these hazards to safeguard yourself and your family. But have you addressed the various financial risks that could threaten your loved ones? For example, if something were to happen to you, could your family members maintain their lifestyle? Could your children still go to college? To guard against this risk, you may want to discuss protection strategies with a financial professional.

Spring cleaning can pay off — in a cleaner, safer home environment and in helping ensure your financial strategy continues to work hard for you.

Has Your Body Blown a Fuse?

Have you ever had the power go out in your house? Typically, you grab a flashlight and find the electrical panel for your house. en you look down the long panel of switches to find the one that got tripped, you reset it, and wham, the power is turned back on. is is a lot like chiropractic. e nerves in the body are like the wiring in your house. Instead of a wire to your microwave, toaster or refrigerator, it’s a nerve to your stomach, heart or lungs. If that nerve has any interference on it at the spine or along its path, it can create symptoms.

Misalignments in the spine cause interference on those nerves (wires) and it can cause the power to be affected depending on which organ or gland is involved. Often, we see people with various symptoms in their body because the fuse has been blown for too long and it needs to be reset. Just like the fuse panel in your house.

Chiropractors, although not electricians, are nerve specialist by their understanding of the body and how it works. If you are having symptoms other than neck or back pain, you should have a chiropractor do a thorough exam of your spine and health to determine if you are a candidate for chiropractic. Perhaps chiropractic is exactly what you need! It’s time you find someone that will take your health as serious as we do. Give us a call 303-993-6092 Please

Courtesy and Kindness, where have they gone?

by: Colorado Karate Club

There was a time when being considerate and respectful of others was the general norm. Our parents drilled it on us, our school teachers repeated it, and society reinforced it. As of late though, it may seem that courtesy may be going out of style.

Rudeness, on the other hand, appears to be catching on in many circles. From Facebook and Twitter, to the roadways, the school, and the office. at’s one of the reasons why I limit my social media involvement.

But being courteous does not mean that we agree with or like everyone we meet; rather, that we are kind enough to show respect, even for those who (at least in our mind), may not be deserving of it.

In his 20 principles of Karate, Gichin Funakoshi – founder of modern karate – stated that Karate begins and ends with “Rei”, which is the name of the bow and also means respect and courtesy. Our Karate students learn therefore the importance of respect for everyone, their instructors, their peers, and even for their adversaries. More importantly though, is the fact that the kindness and respect we show for others, reflect more on our own character, than on those who receive it.

Teaching our children well about courtesy, respect, and kindness is the first step; but if we are to reverse the trend, we must all remember that courtesy is not something others must earn from us, but a gift which we ought to freely bestow on everyone we meet.

The traditional approach to estate planning in America is a challenging system, at best. e chance of a successful planning experience is remote if you define “success” as “meeting people’s expectations”.

Most people consider the subject of death and dying taboo, and as a result, professionals have created a reactive system that has the capability of producing as many problems as it solves. e process usually starts with professional advisors accommodating the individual’s desire to make the process as short as possible (think: trip to the dentist!). Sadly, as long as the experience is short and relatively painless, most “planning” experiences are treated as “successful”. However, this is an extreme disservice to you and your loved ones because those you love are often left to suffer the consequences of this type of planning.

Professionals rely on sterile form documents, with little effort to educate individuals about their options, and the additional steps necessary to actually produce results. is includes financial advisors who recommend simple document acquisition, and attorneys who perpetuate the myth that the documents accomplish everything. In reality, people accomplish the tasks associated with estate planning, and people receive the benefit, or bear the brunt of, the results produced through the planning process.

Understanding the steps needed for success, customizing the plan to fit your family, and preparing your family to effectively implement the plan are critical steps to producing a smooth transition upon disability and death. ese steps are regularly disregarded in most estate plans because they take more time and effort. ere is a better process available for those who take the time to seek it out. If you have questions, I encourage you to gain more knowledge about the available estate planning options, by visiting www.EstatePlans atWork.com to sign up for a complimentary educational workshop.

Medicare’s General Enrollment Period

Each year, Medicare offers a period of time for those who have delayed getting Medicare Part B. is is called the General Enrollment Period (GEP). e GEP runs from January 1 - March 31. is might be for a person who has V.A. Benefits and didn’t feel the need to enroll in Part B at 65. Or they were in good health and may not have needed to pay for Medicare Part B right at 65.

Medicare has made significant changes to the GEP. Previously, if you enrolled in Medicare Part B Jan. 1 - March 31, your Part B would start July 1. Starting in 2023, when you apply for Part B during the General Enrollment Period, Medicare will start your Part B coverage the following month.

If you are an individual who has delayed getting Part B, you can add Part B now. March is the last month before the opportunity disappears for another year.

Be aware, there is a penalty for those who don’t enroll in Part B when first eligible. e penalty is 10% of the current Part B premium multiplied by every 12-month period a person goes without Part B or creditable coverage. is is added to the current monthly Part B premium.

For example, if you go 5 years without getting on Medicare Part B (and you don’t have other creditable coverage), you will have a 50% penalty added to the current monthly premium (e.g. 5 years x 10% = 50%). And, the Late Enrollment Penalty will never go away. is means that it’s important to decide whether to get your Part B in place sooner than later.

Please give me a call if you would like some clarification on your Medicare Part B situation in order to maximize your benefit and minimize your cost.

Sudden Hearing Loss? Don’t Wait to be Checked!

Offered by: John Wilson, B.S., BC-HIS - Blue Ribbon Hearing & Tinnitus Center

Oneof the most common calls we receive is from someone who has suddenly lost hearing, typically in one ear (although sometimes it is in both.) Anytime I receive one of these calls, I try to get as much information as possible and get them in the office as soon as possible to verify the cause of the loss, because in certain instances, waiting too long can have permanent long-term consequences.

e vast majority of the time, the problem is earwax or some other blockage of the ear canal. Other times, the problem is a middle ear infection. ese two problems are fairly routine and can be resolved by removing the blockage or treating the ear infection. However, the small percentage of cases that are due to an inner ear condition may require urgent, timely treatment, as was the case in the following story.

Years ago, late on a Friday afternoon, I received a frantic phone call from a doctor trying to get a patient in for a hearing test. e patient had experienced sudden onset hearing loss and the doctor needed the test to verify the nature of the problem to properly treat the condition. I knew the seriousness of the situation and was able to squeeze the patient in to complete the exam that evening. Unfortunately, the patient actually had lost all hearing in one ear and would need to undergo a treatment as soon as possible to try reverse it. If the treatment did not work, the hearing would likely never return. Fortunately, I was able to get the patient in within 24 hours of onset and the doctor was able to begin treatment immediately afterward. After completing the multi-week treatment, the patient’s hearing miraculously returned.

Unfortunately, this is not typically what happens with sudden onset hearing loss. Most of the time in these situations, people wait too long to

have it checked and the damage becomes permanent. In order to have the most likelihood of saving the hearing, treatment should begin within 24 hours of onset. Over the past 15+ years, I have seen countless patients who did not receive the treatment in time and ended up with permanent, typically complete, hearing loss in one ear.

Up until last week, the prior situation mentioned was the one and only time a patient had come in soon enough to get treatment to potentially save their hearing. en, last week I received a call from a patient who wondered if I could remove wax. It was Friday afternoon, but they had stopped hearing in the one ear two days prior. I had them come in immediately and found that there was no wax or blockage in the canal, and the eardrum looked perfectly healthy. I proceeded to test the hearing and found the hearing was completely gone at most frequencies in the ear. I immediately began calling every otolaryngologist (ENT) in the Metro area and found one who was working and not in surgery who would get the patient in that evening. e patient was treated immediately and during the first follow up, a small amount of hearing had returned. e treatment will continue for a couple of more weeks. In the worst-case scenario, the patient will lose almost all of their hearing in the ear and the type of loss is not treatable with hearing aids. In the best-case scenario, their hearing will return completely. Had the patient not come in when they did, it would have been too late to have a chance to treat the loss.

So, when it comes to sudden hearing loss, it is always better to have it checked immediately to catch the most serious cases before it is too late to possibly save the hearing. If it is wax or some other problem, it can be easily remedied. If it is something more serious, immediate treatment is imperative.

Clearing your home regularly of built up energetic and emotional dross is very important, as stuck or heavy energy can build up in the home and cause feelings of sluggishness or anxiety.

I will clear the space using scented smoke and aromatic cleansing spray. Anointing all doorways and windows with sacred oil will create an energetic barrier to ill will and spirit entities. e use of bells and singing bowls will set a harmonious energy into the space along with spoken blessings or chanting according to client preference. Warding may also be set if needed.

Clearing your chakras and energy body strengthens and supports your body’s optimum function, and can enhance physical health and healing. I will clear all debris and built up energy from the chakras, checking for and repairing any damage that may be present. en the chakras will be aligned to function as optimally as possible, and the auric field will be cleared of emotional debris and energetic attachments.

Let’s welcome the spring with a clean home and a clean energy body. $75/hr for House Cleansing and Chakra Cleansing. (NOTE: some houses are larger and will require more time.) Call 720-732-5798 and ask for Wellyssa. Please visit my web page at Wellyssaswell.com.

Vitamin D supplementation

Vitamin D is important for bone strength and prevents rickets. Vitamin D deficiency has also been linked to increased risk for depression. About 42% of Americans are deficient in vitamin D. e American Academy of Pediatrics recommends babies younger than 12 months old need 400 IU of Vitamin D daily. Older children and adults need 600 IU of vitamin D daily.

In order to achieve the needed amount of this critical vitamin, breastfed infants should be supplemented with liquid preparations of vitamin D. is is because breast milk alone does not have enough vitamin D, and it is not recommended for babies to be directly exposed to sunlight. A baby needs 32 ounces per day of formula to take in enough of this critical vitamin, since formula has vitamin D added to it. erefore, babies that are combo fed with breastmilk and formula should also be supplemented with 400 IU per day of vitamin D. Older children can take vitamin D enriched foods. Milk, cereal, orange juice, and yogurt are enriched with this vitamin, and foods such as salmon, sardines, tuna, and eggs.

Making Sense of Your Credit Score

Presented by T. Lloyd Worth, Worth Wealth Management

Understanding the value of your credit score and taking steps to maximize your credit rating are important for improving your financial health.

Anyone who has ever applied for a loan to purchase a car or house has encountered their credit score. is elusive figure can be perplexing, a three-digit assessment of your credit worthiness that has the potential to impact your financial health. We offer insights into understanding your credit score and taking steps to improve it.

Why Credit?

If you want to buy a house or automobile and need to take out a loan, or you wish to take out a credit card to pay for purchases over time, it’s important to have a positive credit history.

ere are some general concepts that can help you manage your credit and establish a positive credit history:

• Charge only items that you can pay off in a month or two.

• Do not pay only the minimum amount on your credit card bill; this will incur interest on the balance, which has the potential to erode your credit.

• Pay your bills on time.

• Use your credit for larger purchases rather than on small non-durables, such as restaurant meals.

What’s In a Number?

You can get a general sense of your credit worthiness by checking your credit score. e score commonly used by lenders is FICO, a three-digit number from 300 to 850. It fluctuates continually, reflecting the interest rate of your credit cards, outstanding loans, and even a lack of credit.

A score of 700 or above is considered good by many lending standards. You can request a copy of your credit score (there is a small fee) from the three major credit reporting companies, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. e score is a snapshot that captures your credit history and current financial status.

Credit Worthiness

Check your credit report once or twice each year, making sure that there are no errors, while using it as a tool to make sure that you’re paying your bills on time and staying within your established credit limits. Such actions will help increase your credit score. You can receive a free copy of your credit report once each year from AnnualCreditReport.com.

If you spot any errors, report the discrepancies to the appropriate credit bureaus (the report may differ among the three). ey are required to take reasonable steps to correct any errors.

Your credit report will generally include the following (in addition to your personal information):

• Your employer’s name and contact details, along with your income

• ose parties that have requested your credit history in the past six months

• A list of your charge cards and mortgages, along with their terms and payment history

• Your maximum charge amount for each card, your current debts with repayment details, and how many times you have made a delinquent payment

• Past accounts that are paid in full

• Repossessions, liens, bankruptcies, foreclosures, and court judgements against you for money

• Debtor names

• All debts cosigned to you

• Bill disputes

Current law allows delinquent payments to remain in your report for no more than seven years, and bankruptcies for no more than 10 years. ere are special rules related to medical bills.

Establishing Credit

If you are a first-time credit seeker — someone applying for a credit card or loan, for instance — you may have to establish your credit score, which you can do in several ways, including by getting a secured credit card or becoming an authorized user of someone else’s card.

Improve Your Score

Not satisfied with your credit score and want to increase it? ere are a number of steps you can take, like paying your bills on time, decreasing the amount of debt you carry, and staying within your established credit limits.

By overseeing your credit history and managing your credit score, you are taking important steps to improving your overall financial health.

Home Decorating Trends Making a Comeback

Offered by: Scott and Lora Nordby, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Colorado Real Estate

All interior design trends change, often in the opposite direction. After years of cool, grey minimalism, homeowners are turning toward the past for cozier inspirations.

Greens and other warm neutrals

Golds and avocado greens from the 1960s and 1970s revolutionized kitchen appliances and made complementary autumn colors like oranges, tans, and browns wildly popular. If you like the look of the clean look of white and grey, but want a newer look, try colors cream, beige, and earth tones instead.

Texture everywhere

Texture gives neutral colors like beige, stone, and greys more interest. Interior designers Dorothy Draper and William Haines popularized “Hollywood Regency” in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s. Apartmenttherapy.com recommends getting the opulent, glamorous look with gold or shiny metallic accents pieces, jewel tones such as emerald green, mirrors with speckles and sparkle, a touch of Chinoiserie fabric on chairs or in wallpaper, and crystal chandeliers. Plaster, a lime-based putty, adds depth to colors and textures. Get the look with special paint finishes.

Wallpaper scenes

In the 1920s, wallpaper was the ultimate status symbol, says SouthernLiving. com. Murals and larger repeat prints give interiors unique personality, texture, and color. And unlike past messy removals, today’s wallpaper is easy peel and stick.
