I'm Getting Into Real Estate—And GiorDior Realty Might Be Next

Believe it or not, I’m taking the big leap into real estate. After applying to over 400 jobs, I’ve decided to take things into my own hands and build something for myself. It’s funny, I catch myself thinking, what the hell are you doing in real estate with an engineering degree? Truthfully, I don’t have all the answers yet, but I know this feels right.

I’ve always had the desire to create my own business, and real estate is the next step toward that goal. It’s a field that can be intimidating, helping people buy or sell what’s likely the biggest investment of their lives is no small task. But when I look at the bigger picture, I see endless opportunities, not just to help others but to build something of my own.

Why Real Estate?

I’m an investment nerd. I’ve spent years working the stock market, diversifying my portfolio, and making strategic financial decisions. Real estate is no different, it’s a dynamic market where prices, interest rates, and supply shift constantly. Mastering these patterns means knowing when to buy, sell, or hold, just like in stocks.

Beyond investing, I see real estate as a pathway to financial freedom. My long-term goal? Owning short-term rentals (Airbnb properties) and creating multiple streams of income. But to do that successfully, I need to understand the market inside and out—what areas attract travelers, whether demand is seasonal or year-round, and how pricing fluctuates.

No more thinking, I’m starting my journey as a real estate agent. Working in the field will allow me to analyze trends, gain hands-on experience, and, most importantly, help people make smart real estate decisions. This

blog will serve as both my learning tool and a resource for you to stay updated on the market.

What’s Happening in the Market Right Now?

Let’s take a quick look at where things stand:

• Median Sales Price: $555,200

• Interest Rates: 6.65% (30-Year Fixed Rate)

• Inventory Levels: High

Right now, the Denver market favors buyers. There’s a surplus of homes on the market, meaning more options and, in many cases, lower prices. Yes, interest rates are high, but here’s the thing: when there’s a surplus, home prices tend to drop. Think of it as a balancing act: when interest rates are low, prices spike due to demand; when interest rates are high, there are more homes to choose from, and prices stabilize or decrease.

And here’s a little insider tip, interest rates aren’t always the dealbreaker they seem to be. The right lender can offer creative financing solutions, like rate buy-downs or special loan programs that lower your interest rate significantly. So if you’re thinking of buying, don’t let rates scare you off, there are ways to navigate this market in your favor.

Why This Matters to You

If you’re waiting to buy, now is the time to pay attention. With more inventory on the market, you have options, and sellers are more likely to negotiate. If you’re thinking about selling, understanding pricing strategies in this type of market is crucial to getting the best deal.
