RE/MAX Alliance Agent Mark Kruse Shares His Thoughts on the Denver Central Real Estate Market!

RE/MAX Alliance agent Mark Kruse answers questions regarding the current real estate market and what’s happening specifically in the Denver Central area. Mark has lived in Denver for most of his life (30 years). He is a Colorado native and graduate of CU Denver with a bachelor’s degree. He has been in Real Estate for the past 7 years and currently holds CRS, GRI, ABR and SRS designations. Kruse has been nominated as a 5280 5 Star Real Estate Agent the last two years and is a huge supporter of the Children’s Miracle Network and American Diabetes Foundation.

What are today’s consumers most concerned with when it comes to buying and selling real estate?
Buyers I have worked with have expressed concerns regarding the volatile real estate market over the last 3 to 4 years. If purchasing a home today, they may not be able to sell for any change of life situation in the future. They are also concerned about overpaying in today’s market, even if it is for that perfect home. I think buyers have seen that when the market changes they do not want to be upside down in their mortgages.
