Times are tough, but options exist White-hot real estate market may be easing slightly

BY DAVID GILBERT DGILBERT@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Lacy Franks makes being a firsttime homebuyer sound easy.

Franks, who grew up in Black

Hawk, bought her first home last September, a two-bedroom townhome just off I-225 in Aurora, for $220,000 after three months of searching throughout the metro area.

The 26-year-old was able to plunk down a $20,000 down payment, using savings she originally intended to spend on medical school. When her career goals took her elsewhere, she

decided to get in on Denver’s hot real estate market.

“My friends all dreamed of getting married, but I wanted to buy a house,” Franks said.

Franks had no debt, thanks to a full-ride college scholarship, so getting a loan wasn’t hard.

You might have noticed there’s a lot of construction going on these days. And there’s especially a lot of construction going on along Brighton Boulevard and in the Globeville and Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods.

Councilwoman At-large Debbie Ortega wants Denver’s 2018 budget to include dedicated funding to make sure all that construction doesn’t lead to road closures that trap residents in their neighborhoods or prevent workers from reaching their jobs.

‘I am certain that if we think back to different times in our lives, we can very clearly see where love played a critical role in our own growth and development, our feelings ... and in the way we have done things in our own life.’

‘It’s an exhaustive process. At first, it’s so much fun, then you get emotionally attached to a property, then you might put in an offer and not get it. Stick with it.’

For those with debt, smaller savings accounts or bad credit, buying that first home can be a lot trickier — especially in a metro area that’s seen costs skyrocket and starter home construction stagnate, said Andrew Abram, a Realtor with Vision Real Estate who’s on the committee that prepares the Market Trends Report for the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.

Market trends The median sales price for singlefamily homes in the Denver metro area in September was $409,000, up 7.6 percent since last year, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors report, and inventory is down more than 5 percent. For condos and townhomes, the median sales price was $268,000, up 11.2 percent over the same time last year.

However, things may be looking up for first-time buyers, Abram said, as condo construction is finally picking up after more than a decade of stagnation commonly blamed on the socalled construction defects law, which established a low threshold for suing condo builders.

Condos, commonly seen as a steppingstone for first-time buyers, saw construction increase nearly 20 percent over this time last year, according to the DMAR report, which may be attributable to the impact of House Bill 1279, a law that took effect this year that raises the standards for suing builders.

THE PRICE OF A HOME The following are the median sales prices of single-family homes in September for communities throughout the Denver metro area, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors. At right is the percentage increase or decrease as compared to September 2016.

Lone Tree: $659,000 (+6.3 percent) Golden: $538,450 (-0.1 percent) Highlands Ranch: $469,000 (+6.2 percent) Castle Rock: $466,673 (+7.9 percent)

While the median sale price of condos was on the rise, they were staying on the market longer — 39 days on average, up more than 25 percent over last year.

Larger trends suggest the Denver real estate frenzy may be nearing its peak, Abram said, which can ease pressure on first-time buyers.

“It’s still relatively difficult, but it’s slowed down enough recently for firsttime homebuyers to actually have time to think about their decision rather than seeing a house and writing an offer on the spot,” Abram said. “I think that’s much more healthy to allow people some time to think about one of the biggest purchases of their lives.”

Sweetening the deal Plenty of first-time homebuyers will find themselves repeatedly outbid by investors who can lay cash on the barrelhead, said Del Van Essen, a senior loan officer with People’s National

Vo te fo r

Bank, who has worked with first-time buyers for more than 30 years.

“That’s why it’s important to get in with a loan officer at a mortgage company three months before you’re hoping to buy, so you can get pre-approved for a loan,” Van Essen said. “That way, if you have skeletons in your closet, they can help you fix that.”

If you have credit problems, working with collection agencies or getting a secured credit card can improve your credit, Van Essen said.

There are a variety of programs to help first-time buyers come up with a down payment, Van Essen said.

The Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, for instance, gives grants of up to 4 percent of a down payment for first-time buyers. The Metro Mortgage Assistance Program and Colorado Housing Assistance Corporation can also help.

Getting pre-approved for a loan means baring it all, Van Essen said, and buyers should be ready to provide paystubs, two years of W2s, tax returns, bank statements, and to have their credit statements pulled.

Buyers can expect to be outbid a few times, Abram said, so it’s important not to get too fixated on a particular property.

“It is an exhaustive process,” Abram said. “At first it’s so much fun, then you get emotionally attached to a property, then you might put in an offer and not get it. Stick with it.”

Buyers with less up-front cash can incentivize sellers by offering to waive appraisal contingencies, Abram said, or by writing a letter to sellers explaining why they connect with the house.

“Normally a seller has lived in that house for a long time and have a deep emotional connection,” Abram said.

“Sellers like to connect with someone who’s going to take care of the house.”

Parker: $462,000 (+6.2 percent) Centennial: $429,000 (+5.9 percent) Littleton: $421,000 (+5.4 percent) Arvada: $415,000 (+3.9 percent) Denver: $415,000 (+9.1 percent) Lakewood: $413,000 (+8.7 percent) Wheat Ridge: $412,450 (+1.8 percent) Metro median: $409,000 (+7.6 percent) Thornton: $370,000 (+12.1 percent) Englewood: $368,950 (+5.4 percent) Westminster: $350,000 (+1.2 percent) Aurora: $351,250 (+11.5 percent) Northglenn: $315,000 (+3.8 percent) a million dollars, the question remains: Is this a real estate bubble?

“Well, that’s the hundred-thousanddollar question,” Van Essen said.

“There are still a lot of people moving here. There might be some stagnation of prices, but as long as rents are high and people are still coming, prices will probably continue to climb. It’s still a good investment.”

Still, high prices mean that mortgage payments are high as well. Van Essen said at the low end, for a small condo in a less-desirable neighborhood, a buyer can probably expect to pay $1,500 a month — and although such prices are comparable with rent, it means buyers would do well to have an income three times the payment, or $4,500 a month.

Franks said the hassle of buying was well worth it. Her townhome has climbed $20,000 in value since last year, and she’s happy to have a place of her own.

“Plus, I love that I won’t have to move again soon,” she said.

School-board race offers stark choice for voters

Insight into undocumented Gaytán, 42, also grew up in Denver.

She was born in Mexico and said the experience of being an undocumented child in the city’s public schools means she truly understands what it’s like for students who are “living on the edge of society.” DPS doesn’t collect immigration status information but estimates several thousand of its 92,000 students are undocumented.

Two political newcomers are dueling for a wide-open school board seat in southwest Denver, a region of the city that has seen a multitude of school improvement efforts in recent years.

Angela Cobián, a former Denver teacher backed by pro-reform organizations and current board members, is facing off against parent and real estate agent Xóchitl “Sochi” Gaytán, who has the endorsement and the funding of the Denver teachers union.

In many ways, the race for the District 2 seat appears to follow a political storyline familiar to voters in the state’s largest school district: A candidate who disagrees with the district’s direction challenging one who supports it. Neither candidate is particularly well known, and both have compelling personal stories to tell as they introduce themselves to voters.

The Nov. 7 election has the potential to flip the school board majority. Four seats are up for grabs on a seven-member board whose current members unanimously back Denver Public Schools’ key policies, including its embrace of school choice and autonomy. Even if one challenger to the status quo prevails, a dissenting voice would shift board dynamics.

The District 2 race is the only one this year that doesn’t feature an incumbent running for re-election.

Cobián and Gaytán both have roots in southwest Denver.

learner. When her mother got a job at an Englewood Head Start preschool, Cobián said she transferred to that city’s schools and graduated from Englewood High.

Cobián said she became the first in her family to go to college when she enrolled at Colorado College to study political science. Her goal was to get a Ph.D., but she changed her mind after an experience she had while interning for an early childhood education organization.

She was at the home of a family in southwest Denver training a mom on how to help her young child develop literacy skills. The child’s grandmother was also there, and Cobián said she noticed the older woman was limping. When she asked why, she said the woman told her about a bungled surgery and an unapologetic doctor not willing to fix his error because he knew the woman was undocumented and would be too afraid to report him.

“I still feel like somebody punches me in the gut when I think about that moment,” Cobián said in a recent interview. “…You think about the success of that child and all of the different systemic barriers that trap them. That’s when I was like, ‘No way.

I need to be a teacher.’”

Cobián joined Teach for America and spent two years teaching English language learners at Cole Arts and Science Academy, a low-income district-run school in northeast Denver. She left teaching to become a community organizer and now works for Leadership for Educational Equity, a nonprofit organization that trains educators to advocate for policy changes. School board candidate Jennifer Bacon, who is running in District 4, also works for the group.

Gaytán said she attended several schools in the western part of the city because her family moved frequently in search of affordable rent. She graduated from southwest Denver’s Lincoln High and went on to earn a business degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Gaytán, who said she became a U.S. citizen as an adult, works as a real estate agent and volunteers as president of her neighborhood association, the Harvey Park Improvement Association.

She has said she and her husband moved to that neighborhood in part because of the reputation of the local district-run elementary school.

Gaytán has two children and said her family’s own experience with school closure influenced her views on the controversial topic.

When they were getting ready to send their oldest son from Doull Elementary to Kunsmiller Middle School just blocks from their house, the school board voted to close it.

Gaytán knew Kunsmiller was lowperforming but said she felt confident her family could be part of an effort to turn things around. The announcement that it would close was “last-minute,” she said, and sent her and her husband scrambling to find a new middle school for their son.

In the end, they chose one about

November 2, 2017 10 miles away and adjusted their work schedules so one of them could drop him off and the other could pick him up. But it was a big sacrifice, she said, and left her wondering how less advantaged families were managing.

In addition to complicating logistics, she said the school closure left her community hurting.

“The message is, ‘You’re no good.

Your child is no good. Your child is not performing. Therefore, we’re closing you down,’” Gaytán said.

“It’s such a detriment to our community.”

As a school board member, Gaytán said she’d look to provide the social and emotional “wraparound services” that many struggling schools need instead of closing them.

Differences over closures DPS in recent years has closed schools based on poor performance, and the school board in 2015 adopted a policy that includes strict criteria for when to do so. Gaytán has campaigned as the candidate who will keep open her alma mater, Lincoln High, which is one of several schools in danger of meeting those criteria next year.

Her opponent, Cobián, said she’s “not out to close Lincoln or any schools, by extension.” But she said that if the district has provided resources to help a struggling school improve and students still aren’t showing at least a year’s worth of academic growth every year, the

board should intervene, which could include closing or restarting that school.

The two candidates also disagree over the district’s strategy to cultivate a “portfolio”of traditional district-run schools, publicly funded but privately run charter schools, and district-run innovation schools, which have more autonomy than traditional schools but less than charters.

Gaytán has called for a moratorium on new charter schools, the number of which “has grown too fast, too soon” in southwest Denver, she said. While some charter schools post high test scores, she questioned whether they’re meeting students’ non-academic needs and criticized the district for not having a clear way to determine that for all schools.

“I would support our charters that are in our neighborhoods now. I support what’s working for our families now,” she said. “I don’t want to shut them down. I just want them to simply be working.”

The five-color scale DPS currently uses to rate schools is a poor measure, Gaytán said, because the criteria for quality have changed over the years and because the formula too heavily weights academic growth, which she has said can “create a misconception … that schools with very low proficiencies are doing well because they are growing.”

Cobián is not calling for a charter moratorium, but agreed that “it’s

not a real portfolio model if all you have is no-excuses charter schools.”

Such schools generally have dress codes, strict discipline policies, a commitment to using data and a focus on preparing kids for college.

Cobián said the district should strive to open a variety of options in all neighborhoods so families can choose the schools that are right for their students. DPS should also do a better job of asking community members what kinds of schools they want and making sure all schools are equitably funded and “equitably excellent,” she said.

“There are no silver bullets,” Cobián said. “… Every community is different.”

Lopsided funding As of Oct. 11, when the first campaign filing period ended, Cobián had raised nearly four times more money than Gaytán: $94,152 compared to $24,134.

Cobián’s big contributors included businessmen and philanthropists who have donated large sums to proreform school board candidates over the years, while Gaytán’s largest investments came from the Denver and statewide teachers unions.

Both candidates also have benefited from the support of independent expenditure committees. A unionfunded group called Every Student Succeeds spent $110,000 on Gaytán, which was the most it spent on any union-backed candidate. Meanwhile, two groups spent a total of $52,234 on Cobián.

“We cannot afford for some of the businesses the city has invested in to go under because we cannot ensure connectivity,” Ortega said. “For the residents, they need to get to work. We need to make sure buses and emergency services can get in and out of the neighborhood. … These services to these communities are vital, and if you’ve been down there, it’s got limited access as it is. And then you start with I-70, National Western, and if the bond projects get funded.”

Ortega isn’t requesting a budget amendment just yet. Denver’s budget emerges from the mayor’s office, and while council members have the authority to amend it, they rarely exercise it. Ortega said she wants to give the North Denver Cornerstone Collaborative, the agency overseeing all the projects in north Denver, from the Brighton Boulevard improvements to the National Western Center redevelopment, the chance to come forward with a plan and a budget.

But if the NDCC doesn’t do that in the next few weeks, Ortega said she’ll ask for a $300,000 line item dedicated to this “single point of contact” initiative. Council members can introduce budget amendments on Oct. 30 or Nov. 6. Council President Albus Brooks, whose District 9 includes Globeville and Elyria-Swansea, said he supports this effort.

“The NDCC, Public Works, and the National Western Center have been discussing the idea of a centralized point of contact for coordination of mobility in the GES neighborhoods and River North area,” NDCC spokeswoman Leesly Leon said in an email.

“The city knows that major projects, such as Brighton Boulevard reconstruction, the NWC and potential GO Bond-related efforts will have impacts on mobility, and as a city, are trying to proactively identify and create solutions.

“At this time, the city is still exploring what the point of contact would mean in terms of funding and gover-

nance, but will continue to collaborate among agencies, city council and the community to find possible solutions to the challenges of construction.”

Leon declined to answer questions about the cost estimates.

Ortega said she was originally told it would cost around $600,000 to set up a single point of contact, manage road closures and communicate with neighborhood residents and businesses.

Now she’s been told most of the work could get done for half that, with the communications piece being absorbed by existing staff.

Why is this so expensive? Ortega said what she’s looking for isn’t just a list of road closures. She wants someone actually coordinating closures so that a private developer doesn’t close one street, while a road paving crew closes another and the National Western Center closes another and pretty soon no one can go anywhere.

There may be times where one project needs to wait a week to ensure there’s at least some access, and Ortega wants someone who can see that coming and make it happen.

That means a software system and some amount of dedicated time and

attention.

“As construction projects are underway, with several more anticipated to begin and last for several years in Globeville, Elyria and Swansea neighborhoods, there is a critical need for ‘central command’ by the city to minimize disruption regarding access to homes, businesses and emergency services, etc.,” the board of directors of Globeville Civic Partners wrote in an email to council members. The group “strongly encourages city council and deems it incumbent upon the administration to ensure adequate funding of staff, planning, support technology, community services, etc.,

for coordination of street closures and detours in order to mitigate significant negative impacts on access and mobility.”

Mickey Michel, owner of the Butcher Block Cafe at 38th Street and Brighton Boulevard, as well as two other locations, one in Globeville at 50th Avenue and Washington Street, said he’s been in the middle of a construction for about 10 years, starting with the construction of the 38th and Blake A Line light rail station. He’s pretty philosophical about the whole thing (“yelling and screaming doesn’t do much”), and he’s eagerly awaiting the completion of the Brighton Boulevard improvements.

“That will be huge for us,” he said.

But it does have an impact.

“Most people just find a way to deal with it. It’s been a challenge, but I’m very fortunate that our prices are the most reasonable in the area,” Michel said. “It has hurt our carry-out business, though. … Whenever they close the intersection, it is a challenge.”

Sometimes employees are late to work because they have to take long detours.

“I’m always happy when people show up, even if they’re late,” he said.

One recent weekend, the intersection of 38th and Brighton was closed at the same time that the nearby underpass to Walnut Street was closed.

“That’s probably what they’re thinking of,” Michel said of concerns about multiple road closures at the same time. “That was not good.”

Love yesterday, today and tomorrow — an integral, relevant, powerful force

T

hank you in advance for reading this column. I sure do appreciate all of the emails feedback, what an awesome community we have. I WINNING hope you will join me WORDS for the next few weeks as this is the first of a three-part series: Love, Happiness, and Success. And today we begin with love.

“Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully” — Zig Ziglar Michael Norton This is one of my favorite quotes by Zig. Many times when we think about love, oftentimes we can get caught up in only thinking about love in the romantic sense, and as a hopeless romantic myself, I totally get that. But there are so many other ways in which love has played such an integral part of our past, and where love is so very relevant to our present and our future. Love yesterday, love today and love tomorrow, so very powerful.

DENVER Since 1926

I am certain that if we think back to different times in our lives, we can very clearly see where love played a critical role in our own growth and development, our feelings, the encouragement of others and in the way we have done things in our own life. I am certain we can look back on the many people in our lives who showed us love, and we remember them with great fondness and appreciation. They were not “in love” with us, but they loved us, loved on us and took great care of us physically, mentally and emotionally. They have loved us enough to lead us spiritually too.

But what about the people we were “in-love” with? Are we still in love with them? Can we remember what being in love felt like and why we fell in love?

If we still possess those feelings, that is awesome. Sometimes however, we forget too quickly or slowly, over time we can become complacent when it comes to those “in love” feelings. Maybe we don’t see it or feel it coming from the other person, or maybe we have stopped showing the same amount of “in love” feelings ourselves. What was it that we did yesterday and why and when did we

slow down or stop? What has been the impact on our relationships? Whatever it is, let’s look now through new loving and re-energized eyes and hearts.

The good news is that today, right now in the present, we can offer love to others. We can help others, love on others, bless others, hug others, listen to others and show our love and appreciation today and every day. Whatever we used to do, we should start doing again. Not just for the people we love in our lives, but also for the people we are “in love” with in our lives. Today we can look at the people whom we love and who love us, and we can look at that person whom we are “in love” with through the same eyes that we did and with the same heart we had yesterday. Today is a day that can and should be filled with love. Today and every day.

The better news is that tomorrow brings with it even more opportunities to love on our family and friends in new and creative ways. All of our tomorrows in life provide us with opportunities to grow deeper “in love” regardless of the brevity or length of our relationships.

It is so wonderful to see new love and

The A spark is still there, the eyes express deep love, hands are held, affection is shown, car doors are opened, flowers are given, and love abounds as they remember the love of yesterday, the power of love in the present, and the hope of love in all of the tomorrows that are yet to come. C So how about you? When you think about all of the love in your life — past, present and future — and when you think about the feeling of being “in love,” does it give you a swoop in your heart and butterflies in your stomach?

I hope so, and I would love to hear all about your love stories at gotonorton@ gmail.com. Remember this, and please apply all of those things that love inspired yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Because when we do, it really will be a better than good week.

Kids these days with all this literature Tattered Cover event celebrates young adult authors, readers

BY CLARKE READER CREADER@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Young adult fiction is one of the most diverse and vibrant areas of fiction, with stories, characters and perspectives that run the gamut from the fantastic and dystopian to the painfully realistic and political.

And as an author of young adult fiction, Len Vlahos, co-owner and CEO of the Tattered Cover Book Store, understands its power to connect with teens. That’s why he wanted to create an event where some of the best young adult authors could meet the readers they inspired.

“One of the most gratifying things you can do as an author is meet a reader who was impacted by your work,” he said. “That’s what makes it all worth it.”

The Tattered Cover’s second annual Colorado Teen Book Con, which was based on a similar event that Vlahos visited himself in Houston, will be held on Nov. 3 and 4. More than 20 authors will be in attendance The event on Nov. 3 is a young adult author happy hour, where adults will have the chance to meet and mingle with the authors at the

The low roar of chatter, clanging silverware and customers flowing through the door heralded what loyal customers had been waiting on for years: the reopening of El Tepehuan.

The famed Mexican restaurant — coming up on nearly 40 years of history — closed in November 2015, said its owner’s husband, David Davis. In the meantime, it doled out its dishes from a food truck, which closed in July 2016, Davis said.

Recently, owner Graciela Corral said that issues that came up in 2015 made it necessary to move to another location.

“We anticipated completion in August and got done in early September,” Davis said of the construction, which began in March at the new location, 3495 S. Broadway. The lease ran out at the old location, which was just up the block at 3457 S. Broadway, and getting a contractor and figuring out how to finance the transition took time.

“Nobody liked the way it closed,” Davis said.

downtown Englewood on its status.

We “frequent downtown restaurants, and everyone said, what happened? Are you gonna bring it back?” said Davis, recounting how people would recognize Corral on the street.

Now, the Mexican staple is back bigger than before. The new location expanded capacity to 103 seats, about 50 seats more than in the old location, Davis said.

Customers packed the place by about 11 a.m. on reopening day, and some tables were filling at 7:30 a.m.

Davis mused about the possibility of being overcrowded.

“Here, we thought, maybe we won’t have that problem,” Davis said, laughing. “Maybe we will.”

It was a rare seat that was left open in the place as groups large and small chattered and ate — former Mayor Randy Penn among them.

“El Tepehuan has been a mainstay on Broadway for 40 years,” Penn said before the opening day. “They are a destination restaurant that had, and will have, a tremendous following.”

At his table, he laughed and said the new place is a “dangerous location” for him — his office as executive director of the Greater Englewood

Chamber of Commerce, just across the street at the famed “spaceship bank” building, enables him to come eat there whenever he likes — but he welcomed the opening.

Customers struck up conversations with Corral, who said a lot people in the crowd know her and came to the old restaurant. Corral was running around the restaurant herself with the staff, overseeing the first day.

Her dream was to have her own restaurant. When her husband, Jose Corral, started El Tepehuan in 1978, it was a family business, with their children helping operate it. Jose Corral was killed in a car accident in 1987, but Graciela Corral took over, and she and her children kept the restaurant open.

Asked how it feels to have El Tepehuan open again, Corral said it feels like a dream.

Customers could relate.

“We were waiting for this to reopen,” said Gretchen Clamcey, 32, who lives in south Denver and used to go to the old location. “We were so excited when we drove by on Sunday and saw the sign that it was opening.”

As staff bustled in and out of tables, Davis watched the crowd fill the new El Tepehuan, the prior location of which being where he met Corral and they started dating about a decade ago.

“This is lunch,” Davis said. “This is El Tepehuan lunch,” he added, with emphasis.
