Anthem Ranch, an active adult community, in Broomfield Colorado has released several of their “Classic Models” for sale. The particular model in the video is the Copper Model which consists of 1,805 square feet, 2 bedrooms + smart space, 2 bathrooms, spacious kitchen, great room, optional deck, dining room and 2-car garage.

Homes will be available in August and September and will be priced mostly in the lower $300’s.

The Anthem Ranch community is located southwest of I-25 and Highway 7 or if you prefer, just drive north on Lowell (after 120th) past 144th and when you come to the 4-way stop with the metal buffalo statutes, continue straight through the intersection (Lowell Blvd. and Sheridan Pkwy.) and after the bridge you’ll see the community straight ahead.

The entire Anthem development consists of 2,659 square acres (about 4 square miles) and has 9 different floor plans for the Ranch (active adult) and for Highlands (non age restricted), six 2-story plus 2 ranch style plans.

Anthem Ranch also has a rec center, the Aspen Lodge. 30,000 square feet with indoor walking track, indoor swimming pool, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, outdoor pool, billiards, multi-purpose room, fitness center with aerobic and weight equipment, fitness classes and a full time, on-site Lifestyle Director. Membership to the rec center is included in your monthly HOA fees which are $137 per month.

Each Anthem Ranch home comes with BOTH a front and rear yard landscape package at no extra charge!

Many home buyers prefer to use an outside Realtor (free of charge!) to help them purchase a home from a new home development, and if you’d like to give me a call to assist, I’d be happy to help you out. Also, if you buy any Anthem Ranch home in 2008 through me I’ll throw in a $1,000 gift certificate to the Great Indoors store as my way of saying thanks! Call me at 303.887.1883 or email me at beth@bethskinner.com.

On to the the Copper tour!

Realtors often choose niche markets in which to specialize. Jackie Youngblood in Florida specializes in “naked real estate.” Before you get too excited I meant that she specializes in “Clothing Optional and Nudist Resorts” in Pasco County, Florida.

I suspect there is not a big call for that in Colorado. And even if there is, don’t expect me to go and find it for you! Not that there’s anything wrong with that - I kinda had to say that, didn’t I - I’m about as free market as they come - it’s just not my niche.

I do specialize in the Broomfield area however and in higher priced homes - I am just starting a video collection of “Skinny Mini Walking Tours” and have covered Anthem Ranch and The Reserve at the Broadlands so far, if you’d like to take a peek in those homes from the comfort of your own home.

There have been a few excellent posts recently, by other real estate bloggers, about the pitfalls of buying a short sale property.

You can check them out for yourself here:

“On the surface, it may appear that a short-sale buyer is getting a good deal. Although a slim margin of short sales may be profitable for a buyer — because there are always exceptions — much of the time, a buyer would be better off buying a home that is not in default.”~ Elizabeth Weintraub

“Short Sales need more attention, as they are very tricky and misleading.” ~ Frank Llosa

“Looking for a bargain? Great. Just remember this. It’s often like buying yesterday’s donut instead of a warm Krispy Kreme straight from the oven.” ~ Ardell DellaLoggia

Let’s face it, there are plenty of homes out there for sale right now, and as a buyer you can have your pick in most areas. Why not go for the home that is “pretty, pristine, and priced right” instead of the home that causes you more grief than it’s probably worth, and is sold completely “as is?”

If you are interested in buying a low-maintenance ranch home the Sheffield Homes in The Reserve portion of The Broadlands are great! In fact, if you wanted to buy ME one, that would be fine too.

If you would like to see the greatness from the comfort of your own home, check out my Skinny Mini Walking Tour of the St. Andrews model.

Sheffield is currently offering an incentive of 6% off the price of the home!

I am personally offering a $1,000 gift certificate to the Great Indoors store if you allow me to assist you with buying (and closing on) a home in The Reserve in 2008!

HOA fees are $131 per month.

The St. Andrew boasts of 1,916 square feet PLUS an additional 829 square feet in the basement (if you desire) which includes a bedroom, full bathroom, and rec room.

The Reserve at The Broadlands in Broomfield Colorado offers truly maintenance free living: the front and back yards are fully landscaped, and maintained for you. The homes’ exterior are repainted every 6 years AND YOUR SNOW IS SHOVELED.

It also includes an outdoor pool and indoor activity center with a lap pool nearby.

AND you can drive your golf cart to the Broadlands golf course. Ha! How great is that?!

If you’re interested in buying a home in The Reserve TODAY, they do have 2 spec homes available, one in the St. Adrews model with a finished basement and one in the Glasgow Model (2,120 square feet). Both run in the low $600’s.

Don’t forget the video!
