A Builder's Perspective: Evaluating $1.3M to $1.6M Homes

Homes in the $1.3M to $1.6M tier are often classic Highlands Ranch builds from the late 90s or early 2000s that have undergone substantial cosmetic renovations. As a former builder, my role is to ensure the "bones" of the house match the beauty of the updates. I carefully evaluate the age and condition of the roof, the efficiency of the HVAC system, and the integrity of the original windows. My goal is to ensure you aren't paying a premium for a cosmetic flip that ignored critical, high-cost mechanical replacements.
