The market in Denver Metro for homes priced at $250k and below is brisk. We are finding that most homes in this range, if they are somewhat decent, are getting multiple offers/contracts. This being said, do not assume that it is a buyers market when bidding on these homes. We have seen homes on the market for only a matter of a few days with as many as 13 contracts! No kidding! Make sensible bids. Do not try to be that guy/gal who thinks, “I am going to bid stupidly low and they will love me just for making an offer.” Sorry, but it’s not working.

The Colorado Rockies have won two consecutive games, beating the San Diego Padres 12-7 in a freaky game yesterday. Dexter Fowler, the team’s impressive rookie center fielder, tied a major league rookie record by stealing five bases (via The Denver Post). But it wasn’t all good, as outfielder Brad Hawpe was taken to the hospital after being hit in the neck by a pickoff throw, according to The Associated Press. This is the second consecutive game in which the team’s offense exploded. The first came after shortstop Troy Tulowitzki was benched because of poor hitting, according to the Post.

Oddball Item of the Day:
It turns out the Four Corners–the only place in the United States where four states (Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah) meet–isn’t 2.5 miles off the mark, as Deseret News and The Associated Press recently reported. It’s about 1,807 feet east of where it ought to be, according to numerous news corrections, notes Westword. As for the states, they’re okay with where the current site is.

Color and movement overtake reality in the paintings of Salt Lake City artist Jean Arnold. In her works, San Francisco is a series of brightly colored geometric shapes, and Denver’s Casa Bonita a pattern of grays, reds, and oranges. Despite the abstraction, there’s reason in these cryptic paintings. Arnold, who will be at Plus Gallery on Friday for the opening of her Onrush exhibit, is fascinated by the flux and energy of travel. Bonus: Plus Gallery recently moved to the old Benjamin Moore building, and its new, modern space is worth checking out. –KJ
