Fireworks, Fresh Listings, and a Little Sparkle
A Special Takeover by Danielle from Jason Roshek & Partners
Hi friends—Danielle here! I’m officially hijacking the newsletter this month to bring you a little July update from a woman’s perspective. Jason handed me the mic, and I’m adding my own sparkle to it. Summer is in full swing, and July might just be my favorite. Between the blue skies, patio dinners, and small-town celebrations, everything just feels a little more alive—and yes, a little more sparkly. Whether you're watching fireworks in Memorial Park, sipping lemonade on your deck in Woodland Park, or enjoying a mountain hike followed by a well-earned iced coffee, this season is all about slowing down and savoring where you are—and who you’re with.
On the real estate side, we’re continuing to see more homes coming onto the market, which is great news for buyers! However, competition is still strong when it comes to those picture-perfect, move-in-ready properties. If you’re considering selling, now’s a smart time to get strategic. A well-prepped home still moves quickly. One exciting thing we’re seeing is creative financing—buyers and sellers are working together with lenders to buy down interest rates, which helps keep monthly payments more affordable. That’s a win for both sides, and it’s something we’d love to talk more with you about if you're thinking of jumping in. Our team is happy to help you come up with a strategy that works for your unique situation.
I hope you're soaking in all the sunshine, lake days, neighborhood BBQs, and of course, fireworks. I also want to take a moment to recognize the power of home during this season. Whether you're hosting friends for a backyard get-together, taking on a summer project, or dreaming of a space that fits your life a little better—home is where so many special memories are made. Here’s to a July full of sparkle, sunshine, laughter, and maybe a new set of keys. We are here when you need us.

SUMMER IS FINALLY HERE!
I would like to wish you all a Happy Flag Day and to all the Fathers out there, I Hope you have a great day.
As far as Real Estate is concerned, there are more homes coming on the market. However, the best homes are still going under contract quickly. Another thing I am see is one loan program where the lender and the Seller buy down points so that the Buyer can get a lower interest rate.
This can be a benefit to both parties as it will keep the payments lower and the Seller’s still get a price that is acceptable to them. In the olden days, this was called a Win-Win. Speaking of Winning, the Colorado Rockies are not. That was not the Dad joke.
We are only 99 days away from kickoff for The DENVER BRONCOS.
Dad Joke Time!

Holy Guacamole, it is Cinco de Mayo, which means Tacos and Tequila.
It also means…
Mother’s Day (Heavy Snow Fall), Graduations, Weddings, Memorial Day. One thing to be watching for is your new Tax Assessment from your County Assessor. If you have questions about protesting your taxes please call Me (719-237-0394) or Mike (409-781-8593) and we can help you with that.
As of the real estate market, it is moving, about 35% of the homes that are listed are closing. With that, about 16% are under contract or pending. Interest Rates are in the mid 6’s. If you have questions about what kind of upgrades or projects, you need to complete this year please call and lets make sure the project is something you are going to enjoy or make money with.

There is hope of Spring, you can
smell it… or is that the Easter Ham?
I am really excited, in less than a month we have the 3rd Annual Tacos and Tequila Event! I also have 2 kids
graduating, Sam a Senior in High School, and Savannah a double major from Drake University in 3 years. WAY TO GO!
The market here is starting to move. Average days are just over 2 months of inventory. One of the things I was taught many years ago, was to read The Coast and Texas. An article from Realtor.com The 5 Year Rule
is Over, caught my attention. Here is the quote, “Places like San Francisco, Miami, and Austin, TX, are just a few popular
markets to ring in 2025 with notable drops in median list price compared with the year prior, falling 10.87%, 9.9%, and 7.86%
respectively.” What does this mean to you? It could mean we might be looking at some lower prices or it could mean more
people could be coming to Colorado, because people are tired of the heat and larger cities. I will continue to watch this to see if it is a trend or a blip.
Interest rates are staying in the mid 6’s, depending on credit scores.

Hello Spring… and Winter
This is the time of year that here in Colorado we can go golf or hike one day and shovel snow the next. Which is like the housing market in the Pikes Peak Area, homes are either going really fast or staying on the market.
The average days on market for homes is 66 days as of March 3, 2025 from the Pikes Peak MLS. Even with interest rates in the
Mid 6’s to low 7’s, I believe this is one of those times in history that if you can buy your forever home. This is when buying is a
huge advantage for you in the future.
There is one event that is coming April 15, 2025, Crabby Tax Night in Woodland Park, brought you by the Ute-Pass Woodland
Park Kiwanis, Serving Children of Teller County since 1988. At this event you get ONE hour to eat all the Crab you can! If you
need tickets, call or text me at 719-237-0394. Tickets go FAST, so don’t wait too long!

Happy February
Recently, I was in Orlando for a Real Estate Conference and what was interesting is the perspective of the weather. I left on a Sunday morning, in Woodland Park it was -17 degrees. When I got to Orlando around 3 pm it was 63 degrees. So many people had on big down coats, gloves, and hats. They were freezing, and I was enjoying my shorts! A couple of days
later parts of Florida got up to 9 inches of snow! I can see how that would be a problem because they do not have the equipment to move snow nor do they know how to drive in the snow. Real Estate is a lot like the weather, it may seem like a bad market or that interest rates are high. What I do know, is when there is a disturbance in the Real Estate Market there is opportunity that is about to happen. Now may be the time that we
need to set up a discussion on what can be your advantage in Real Estate.
Do not forget that Valentines Day is on a Friday this year!

Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed celebrating the New Year! I had the delightful opportunity to meet my granddaughter, Madison Marie Broeker. She is absolutely adorable and so lovable!
Let’s review 2024! The Broncos surpassed my prediction of 7 wins, and I was wrong about the 49ers winning the Super Bowl— there are now six teams in contention for the trophy! On the business side, Danielle Smith is back to help with social advertising, while Caitlin and Kylee are preparing for their Real
Estate licenses. Interest rates have dropped from the mid-7’s to mid-6’s range, but land sales and home construction have declined. On a brighter note, there’s a surge in multifamily housing development, especially in northern and eastern Colorado Springs.
I’d also like to introduce Michael Wascom to Jason Roshek & Partners!
