    Default Buying a house

    Under contract for a house in Green Valley Ranch off 38th. I've heard mixed reviews. Looked up online and didn't see any real issues where this house is. Anyone have any insight?

    Thanks for these websites. Were able to use them to back out and get our money back. Wife and I will look to stay in Broomfield or Northern Thornton area.

    Better to know now, rather later as your truck is going down the road, with someone else driving it.

    Rather a realtor than having to read more than one thread about his house broken in to, wannabe's profiling down the block. Him throwing a very large block party and EVERYONE on the board attending, with both hand & long gun

    The warning sign should have been a COP putting it up for sale.

    That's a much happier resolution than I was expecting. Don't put the cart before the horse this time around.

    I wouldn't transition from Broomfield to Green Valley Ranch. Can you get into Stapleton at least?

    Forgot to mention. When buying any home, always visit the neighborhood over the weekend. Especially friday & saturday night. Then a follow up sunday morning.
