The End Of Summer In Sight

AD DESIGNER

Dear Friends, Summer mode is coming to its end, and before we know it, fall mode will be here with a new school year starting. Before the shift into school season, it's nice to savor the memories of summer. Lots of time in the outdoors.

Drives to the mountains for hikes, bike rides and soaking in hot springs.

Kids have gone and come back from summer camps. Maybe you've rekindled friendships that went dormant during the pandemic.

With one foot in summer, and the other stepping toward back to school, we share with you some helpful perspectives on the real estate market in this issue of Westminster City Lifestyle. We also talk about our two biggest loves - our kids and our pets.

Thank you for being part of our community, and thank you for supporting the local businesses who make this publication possible!

Lending a Furry Paw to Enhance Therapy ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY PROGRAMS OF COLORADO

ARTICLE BY LILA RUPPE PHOTOGRAPHY BY AATPC

An Arvada organization is elevating the counseling experience by highlighting the bond between humans and animals. Clinical waiting rooms, couches, and serious doctors might come to mind when thinking of therapy. Assisted Animal Therapy Programs of Colorado is revolutionizing this idea by bringing furry friends into the mix.

The non-profit, founded in 2010, offers a new form of therapy with both licensed mental health professionals and rescue animals. With more than 12 species, from donkeys to bunnies, AATPC has a match for every client.

Development Director Becki Taylor says, “They have their own backstories and their own temperaments.” Every animal was either rescued or re-homed before becoming a member of the AATPC team.

“Wonderful atmosphere. My daughter would always get excited to go to therapy to work with the animals. Her therapist and the animals both helped her to overcome a great deal of her struggles and we are very grateful.”

— Anonymous Parent

AATPC’s furry friends can participate in therapy in a variety of ways. The client can play with one of the animals outside while talking to the therapist or sit inside with one of their indoor animals. While the animals are cute and lovable, they also serve a vital purpose in providing effective therapy to the community. University of Tennessee research compared 10 studies on the effectiveness of animal assisted therapy and found that depressive symptoms were decreased in every case, no matter the species involved.

Animal assisted therapy has been shown to calm stress hormones and release endorphins. At A ATPC, clients build relationships with the animals, and that enhances the therapy experience.

Those connections can be meaningful enough to keep clients coming back to see the animals. Taylor says, “When therapy is complete, saying goodbye can be difficult.”

While animal assisted therapy is helpful for all ages, over 80% of AATPC’s clients are under 24. The ranch offers specific

14

M EN TA L WE LLB E IN G | H E ALTH + W E LLNE S S

youth programs to connect with the younger generations. Certain animals work especially well with children with behavioral issues. Rabbits have been known to thump their feet when the child is getting elevated, which allows the child to understand the effect their behavior is having and work to calm the rabbit.

AATPC was founded almost by accident.

Two doctors, Dr. Linda Chassman and Ellen Winston, had a traditional family practice before their pets, Mazey and Sasha, inspired them to bring animals into the mix. Now, AATPC has a six-month waiting list and plans to finish a new wing with six counseling rooms by the end of the year.

AATPC has served Arvada, Westminster and surrounding communities for over a decade. Clients with limited resources are allowed to pay within their means which expands AATPC’s services to the entire community. If you are interested in supporting the ranch, AATPC is always accepting donations on the Animal Assisted Therapy Program of Colorado website: AnimalAssistedTherapyPrograms.org.

All About The Fam THE #1 WAYS TO REDUCE SCREEN TIME

It seems every parent is looking for ways to reduce screen time in the home.

But how is that done practically?

There's one practice that I've come to believe is 5x better than screen time: an all-family sport.

LITERALLY 5X BETTER IN THESE FIVE WAYS: 1. You all get exercise 2. You get to practice coaching your kids 3. Your kids get to learn teamwork with their siblings 4. Everyone learns a new skill 5. It becomes more fun the more you master it

NOW LET'S TALK THROUGH THE TOP THREE CHALLENGES: 1. What if we're not a sporty family? Don't let this stop you. In some ways, it's even more important to invest in this because you're less likely to get the above advantages in another way.

2. Where do we find the time and energy?

The best time is usually after dinner 2-3x per week and once on the weekends. The energy comes from the fun.

This may not be there on day one but, you can increase this a lot over time (see tips below).

3. What if we can't think of a sport we can all do together? This may take a little imagination but, there are a number of sports that can work for different age groups at the same time.

HERE ARE A FEW TO GET YOUR IMAGINATION GOING: • • • • • • • • • • • •

Pickleball/Tennis Martial Arts Hiking or Running Biking Canoe/Kayaking Swimming/Pool Games Golf/Putt-Putt/Driving Range Disc/Frisbee Golf Skateboarding/Rollerblading Rock Climbing Gymnastics Croquet, Bocce, or Cornhole

A FEW TIPS: • Involving everyone at every level: We did tennis for awhile and our two-year-old had a cart she would push around the court picking up the balls.

• Gamify it: What makes video games addicting is the frequency of positive reinforcement.

Find things you can track and celebrate to help everyone feel the progress.

• Associate it with yum: Create traditions around certain snacks, meals, drinks, or treats that are reserved for family sports time.

• Reduce friction: If equipment is involved, make that as easy as possible. Put things into a bag and leave it in the car or by the front door.

Don't make getting ready for a sports time a project in itself.

• Make it automatic: Put it in your schedule and just automatically do it. Try not to make each time you play a decision-making process.

You'll find excuses to say no.

• Pick the one you like best: The parents' ability to sustain this activity is usually the biggest variable in perseverance. So make it easy on yourself and; pick something you enjoy doing most and work to get your kids to love it.

Once you choose a sport, get the equipment, schedule the time, and start to learn the basics, the fun and teamwork will begin to grow. Be disciplined for the first month. It gets easier. The memories and bonding you'll experience will fill your family with a sense of togetherness as you leave countless hours of screen time in the dust.

FOR PETEY’S SAKE

Sharon Hodge-Owner of Pet Wants Broomfield

HOW A PET OWNER IMPROVED HER BEST FRIENDS’ QUALITY OF LIFE THROUGH PROPER NUTRITION

Siblings Petey and Olive are Staffordshire terrier mixes who love to spend their days in the Colorado sun, hiking or playing fetch with their best friend and human, Sharon Hodge.

Petey is a loyal and distinguished gentleman, while Olive is a social butterfly who enjoys modeling new outfits that she wears to keep her skin safe from sun exposure. Sharon has always wanted what was best for her furry sidekicks, and has faced some difficult health challenges along the way.

22

P E T CA R E | L IFE + CU LTURE

You see, both Petey and Olive are cancer survivors, and both have severe allergy problems. Sharon spent years trying different medications and short lived solutions for Petey, her first fur baby, and his allergies, but nothing seemed to alleviate the strain it put on his health. She felt even more hopeless watching his happy demeanor dwindle and overall personality shadowed by his sickness.

The love that Sharon had for Petey motivated her to educate herself and seek

ARTICLE BY SHAY BRASE

PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH DAWN PHOTOGRAPHY

the help she needed to restore her best friend’s quality of life. She knew that there had to be answers and solutions, and was determined to find them.

By fate, Sharon came across a mobile pet store that was knowledgeable about what they were going through, and provided both a beacon of hope for Petey’s cancer and so many answers that she had been seeking. They provided individualized care, and helped Petey find a new food- the only kibble he could completely digest, which also eliminated his allergies. Victory!

Today Olive and Petey are living their best lives, in spite of their history of

allergies and cancer. Sharon credits this happy ending to Pet Wants, the company who shed light on an unknown time for her and her pups.

Due to Sharon’s experience, she decided to dedicate the next chapter in her life to helping others figure out the best solutions for their own pets’ nutritional needs.

Pet Wants Broomfield is fresh, nutritious pet food made with the best ingredients possible and delivered to your doorstep.

So you might see Olive riding shotgun, with her head out of the window on your next delivery. If you see her, be sure to give her a wave!

PET FOOD MYTHS 1. Myth: All pet food was created equal. Truth: Avoid products with corn, soy, wheat, by-products or rawhide, and these are not good for digestive health.

2. Myth: You know what is in your pet’s food. Truth: Pet food is not regulated like human food. Harmful fillers are often added that may lead to serious health issues.

3. Myth: My pet isn’t food motivated. Truth: Likely, they are bored or have a sensitivity. Rotating proper food formulas can help keep their interest and add extra nutrients.

4. Myth: Pet treats are junk food. Truth: This depends on the treat. Choose all natural and single ingredient options for health benefits that might not be included in their food.

REALTOR RACHEL KENNEDY CUTS THROUGH THE DATA

ARTICLE BY RACHEL KENNEDY

The Real Deal On The Housing Market

CONTINUED > AUGUST 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/WEST M I N ST E R

25

The housing market is a hot topic on people's minds and pocket books these days. Honestly, it has been for many years. If you own a home in Colorado, even if you have only owned for 6 months, you’ve likely seen equity growth and reaped the benefits of homeownership. As we watch the stock market squirm and crypto crush dreams, real estate is holding strong with the anticipation of continued growth, despite what you may be hearing from the news channels.

So let’s take a look at the data and break down the numbers to understand what it all means for the future of our housing market. As of the writing of this article (July 11th) our housing market has certainly entered a different mood than she was in, in early 2022. Buyers went through competing against 20+ offers, offering $50,000+ over ask price and waiving contingencies to little competition and paying 98-102% of list price, virtually over night. This market is keeping us realtors on our toes and we anticipate she will continue to do so.

As of today we are finally seeing inventory increase to numbers we haven’t seen since 2019. Now, I know a lot has happened since good ‘ol 2019 but if we can just revisit that time, no one was screaming “Market Crash”. In fact, 2019 was still a GREAT year in real estate. It was the last time we had more than 5,000 active listings in the Metro Denver area. Today we have approximately 5,500 active listings, or 1.3 months of inventory. In order for us to see a balanced market we need to have 25,000 active listings, or 6 months of

26

F IN A N CIA L BU Z Z | R EAL E STATE

inventory. A balanced market doesn’t favor the buyer or the seller; it’s simply a decent time to be on either end. In other words we are 22% of the way there to a balanced market.

Still thinking the bubble may burst?

Let’s talk about that!

In order for “the bubble to burst” three things need to happen; we need to have an over supply of homes on the market, which seems to be a far cry as according to Freddie Mac we need 3.8 million more homes nationally in order to meet demand. The second factor into a housing crash or “bubble burst” is a lack of equity in homeownership. This too is incredibly unlikely as the Denver Metro area has experienced double digit growth year over year for nearly 10 years in a row. Meaning, homeowners have a lot of equity in their homes from which they can borrow against or sell the home to obtain the equity. The third and final factor for a “bubble burst” is a widespread loss of jobs. With the unemployment rate today of 3.6% (compared to 9.9% in 2009) it is looking increasingly less likely that we will experience a downturn in the housing market.

“Rachel, then why is the media telling me the housing market is crashing?”

I’m glad you asked! The media is right about one thing, the market has indeed changed. Gone are the days of barely getting the sign in the yard before a buyer swoops in with a crazy cash offer and closes in two weeks. In today's market, sellers expectations need to be similar to what we saw in the 2018/2019 markets. We will continue to see days on market increase. Right now they are

CONTINUED > AUGUST 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/WEST M I N ST E R

27

28

F IN A N CIA L B U Z Z | R EAL E STATE

up from a low of 4 days earlier this year to an average 29 days on market today. Instead of receiving offers 10-20% over list price, sellers will continue to see offers within 98-102% of list price.

Home buyers who stayed on the sidelines the last two years and missed the boat on those low rates will continue to be crunched unless they make a move soon. Because housing supply is still well below demand we will continue to see home values rise, though at a more reasonable rate of 5-8% year over year vs the 12-20% we have been experiencing.

As well, interest rates will continue to go up until inflation is under control. The Fed expects to raise rates at least two more times yet before year end.

Our buyer clients are being advised to hop into the housing market now with the plan of locking in a lower purchase price on the home with a plan to refinance your interest rate once inflation is under control and rates stabilize again. If a homebuyer can afford the home today at a higher rate, they will most certainly be able to afford the home in 2 years when those rates are back down and their payment can be lowered.

If you’re on the sell side, hiring an agent who is well equipped with market data and has proven pricing strategy, staging a home, and using a strong marketing plan is going to be paramount in achieving the highest possible sales price alongside minimum days on market. Sellers will have a little more work cut out for them in prepping the home for market and highlighting the best features of the home. Buyers are going to have more options, so making your home stand out from the rest will help achieve the best results.

If you love talking real estate, or are considering a move in the next year we would love to have you join us for a Live Q&A session via Zoom on August 23, 2022 at 6:00pm.

To register, send an email to info@ TheKennedyHomeGroup.com. We will have updated numbers on the current housing market and open up the floor for your questions. See you there!

Destination Trip to

Telluride 30

T R AV E L J OU R N A L | TR AVE L

ARTICLE BY SANDY BORNSTEIN PHOTOGRAPHY BY THE TRAVELING BORNSTEINS

Telluride Hiking on Jud Wiebe Trail

After the snow melts, outdoor enthusiasts travel to Telluride for its summer festivals, hiking and biking trails, rafting down the San Miguel River, tasting innovative foods, and strolling through the historic mining town surrounded by 13,000 to 14,000-foot peaks.

Some choose to stay in town while others gravitate to the hotels and condominiums in the Mountain Village. A convenient and free gondola ride separates the two locations.

If you avoid busy driving times and construction delays, Westminster residents can escape the Denver metro area’s summer heat and reach Telluride in about six hours. However, be sure to pack rain gear if your visit coincides with the rainier months of July and August.

SUMMER FESTIVALS For decades, festivals have been a part of Telluride’s culture. As the days are getting longer, visitors can watch colorful hot air balloons float gracefully over the valley, listen to bluegrass music, or be inspired by yoga and meditation experts. Wine, architecture, and jazz are the focal points in the summer while film, blues, and cars are the main draws in the fall.

HISTORY BUFFS A printed version of the Historic Walking Tour can be found inside Telluride’s Summer Visitor Guide and can also be downloaded from the Visit Telluride website. The map pinpoints fourteen designated spots that highlight key structures from the 19th century. For the town’s hilly streets, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and carrying a water bottle.

The Telluride Historical Museum, a former hospital, introduces visitors to the Native Americans who first inhabited the region, to the people who started the primitive mining camp, and to how the community developed into a year-round destination. This building is on the route of the self-guided walking tour.

WATER ACTIVITIES From May to October, outfitters offer halfday and full-day rafting trips down several local rivers. Experienced paddleboarders can take advantage of picturesque high alpine lakes while newbies can learn a new skill. Inner tubes can be purchased and rented. Local guides can direct any angler with a Colorado fishing license

The Bridal Veil Falls Trail is approximately a mile from the town. From the crowded parking lot, hikers can see Colorado’s tallest free-falling waterfall measuring 365 feet. After a summer thunderstorm, slippery and muddy conditions may make the steep journey challenging.

Crowds also congregate along the Bear Creek Trail. This trail is at the end of South Pine Street. Distant waterfalls feed a fast-flowing river that snakes its way through the canyon floor.
