Denver’s real estate market is booming, and one of the most effective ways homeowners can maximize their property’s value is through custom home renovations. Thoughtfully designed and executed renovations not only improve aesthetics and functionality but also significantly boost home value, making them a smart investment. A perfect example of the impact of renovations on property values is the transformation of a neglected home in Denver’s City Park West neighborhood. Designer Jordan Bagus, founder of Larapin design studio, purchased a long-vacant property for $350,000 and, after a meticulous renovation process that preserved its historic character, successfully sold it for $690,000 (5280 Magazine). This serves as a testament to how strategic renovations can enhance a home’s market appeal and financial worth.

In response to the prevailing trends in the housing market, homeowners seeking home additions are striving to optimize their property space. In previous times, numerous families and property owners were inclined to reside in a home for a specific duration before selling and advancing to a larger, newly constructed home. This was considered both an economically sound and strategic decision, as the properties being sold were often older and more affordable, presenting an ideal opportunity to accumulate equity. This equity could then be utilized for trading up to a newer, more upscale home later in life.

On the City and County of Denver’s official website, the Denver Development Services explains criteria that categorize construction projects by size/scope. While it might be a simple question, How big is your residential construction project?” the answer can be slightly tricky to answer. Denver’s Development Services department differentiates between Minor, Intermediate, and Major construction projects. Your follow-up to this might be, “I’m only remodeling some finishes of my house, therefore, it must be a minor residential project.” But you might be surprised if you go over a certain amount of square footage, the ‘minor’ designation increases to intermediate.
In an article published by the Denver Business Journal, a headline calls out the City of Denver’s building Department by stating “While some may never become a reality, Denver saw a 395% spike in development plans in June as new affordable housing rules loomed.” Throughout this year and last, Denver’s building department has seen an unprecedented number of plan submittals for land development projects, new construction, and residential construction projects.

But for this sudden spike of development plans being submitted, the culprit lies with recent changes to Denver’s Affordable Housing Policy.
