Best Movers in Denver – 303-329-3217

2015 marked the busiest year for Denver home builders since 2007. Although that means a lot for local Denver movers who are constantly in demand just as much as Denver homes are, the numbers work out to more luxury homes being constructed and sold than middle-income family homes.

Over 9,000 homes were constructed in metro Denver last year, but only seven percent were priced below $300,000. And, even though 9,000 homes may sound like a lot and be the largest number that the city has seen in almost a decade, it is still below half of what was constructed in 2005. In 2005, when the housing market was more decent, Denver home builders built 20,000 new homes.

Regardless of the numbers, the luxury housing market in Denver is doing very well and is expected to continue to do well, perhaps exponentially. Local Denver moving companies and home builders welcome the growth, as it is a sign that the region is growing and growing fast.

If you are currently house hunting in Denver or will be this year, the majority of homes that are newly constructed range from $400,000 to $500,000, which is relatively pricey after you take into consideration government fees, labor, and lots increasing in price. However, since the area is in such high demand and ranked as a top city to live in, the prices correlate with demand.

After you check out the luxury housing market in Denver, get with a local Denver mover to make your transition to the metro area simple and stress-free.

If you are moving to Denver this February, local moving companies and meteorologists urge you to watch out for rain and snow.

Up to two inches of snow are predicted for the end of February, making moving to the area either extremely difficult or delayed. If you already have your moving date set, and you hired All My Sons Moving & Storage Denver movers to help you move, your move may be delayed or take longer to complete due to the inclement weather. However, our Denver movers are experts and many are Denver natives who are completely equipped to handle moving during the inclement weather if need be.

Expect temperatures this month to range from the high 40s and drop to the low 20s. If you are moving to Denver this February, be sure to pack a bag of clothes for the week of your move and make sure that they are weather appropriate.

Denver movers recommend having the heat turned on prior to your move-on date so that your current and new residence stays warm while moving out and moving in. You should also make sure that you and your movers are closing the front door each time you enter and exit, so that the heat stays inside.

Since it may be raining or snowing while moving to Denver this February, take extra precaution from snow sludge and line your driveway and walkway with salt to prevent slipping; you can also line your home with extra cardboard boxes to prevent slipping inside your home, as well as maintain cleanliness from the snow sludge being tracked inside.

It may be winter and it may be cold, but that shouldn’t stop you from hitting the town and checking out the delectable culinary scene after moving to Denver.

In 2015, the Denver housing market saw a very low number of homes that were available for sale. But, why? One theory is that the homeowners who survived the housing bust in the early 2000’s decided to refinance and stay in Denver. The other theory comes from Denver’s extremely low mortgage rates, coming in at around 4%. In fact, Denver currently has one of the lowest mortgage rate environments in history, making home buying affordable.

Major professional moving companies in Denver say that although the interest rates are extremely low and the availability is low, demand is extremely high, causing an increase in prices. The average family home price in Denver rose 11% since 2014.

Denver’s 2016 housing market predictions expect mortgage interest rates to rise from the lower 4% to roughly 4.6%, but for the amount of homes for sale to remain low. Housing costs are expected to continue to increase slightly with demand, but not see as much of an increase as 2015.

If you are planning on moving to Denver in 2016, since demand is high and supply is low, expert moving companies in Denver recommend that you hire a great real estate agent and mortgage broker. After you find the perfect home at the best price, make sure that you hire reputable movers and packers in order to make your move to Denver simple and stress-free.

If you are moving to Denver for a job, you may get lucky enough to be located in a brand new, massive office building in a prime location downtown. The Denver movers at All My Sons have heard that Patrinely Group, a Houston-based development company, is planning to construct a massive office and hotel building on 15^th Street between the streets of Welton and California.

The project has been officially named Block 162 and is a prime piece of real estate in Denver. According to reports, Denver developer Evan Makovsky has been developing the piece of land for quite some time. Block 162 will include a 32-story building complete with 21 floors of office space, 500,000 to 600,000 square feet of Class A office space, two parking spaces per 1,000 square feet, and the proposed completion date would be in early 2019.

Denver moving companies and locals have heard the plans, although they have not yet been submitted to the city of Denver’s planning department. Rumor has it that Patrinely Group has met with the city on the project and that it seems as if voting may go in their favor when the time comes.

If you are moving to Denver and you own a small business or agency, be sure to stay up-to-date with the proposed development so that you may reserve some prime office space in the heart of downtown Denver at Block 162.

2015 marked a booming year for the hotel industry in Denver, Colorado. An extremely popular tourist attraction for its foodie cuisine, great shopping, and amazing ski sites, Denver hotels are not amateurs when it comes to hundreds and thousands of guests each year; however, in 2015 the overall Denver occupancy was 75.3 percent; in 2015, the rate rose to 75.7 percent, according to national industry analyst STR Inc.

A report by STR illustrates that the average occupancy rate for the 25 largest U.S. markets was 73.6 percent, making Denver clearly average and doing exceedingly well. The average percentage for non-major markets was 65.6 percent.

The Denver movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage heard numerous residents commenting on the rising hotel room rates, due to the large demand. The Denver average daily rate (ADR) rose from $112.43 to $120.78. The revenue per room rose roughly $7, from $84.69 in 2014 to $91.41 in 2015.
