There's not much I can add to today's article that I just read. 

I do think there is merit in expanding the areas that might work for you.  I know that we always recommend our clients consider, in addition to Parker, other towns like Castle Rock, Elizabeth, Centennial and specific areas of Aurora. 

Financing and down payment assistant programs can be helpful.  We have several trusted lenders that we work with.  In reality, though, as the saying goes, "it is what it is".  The best advice I can give.  Buy what you can qualify for and what you're comfortable with.  And, buy with the confidence that in the long run, you'll be making the best investment available to you.  Nothing better than home ownership.
