New advice from the trenches on buying a home: Look early. Think fast. Hone your quick-draw skills with the checkbook.

Denver's real estate market, not along ago a buyer's domain, suddenly
has shifted to a seller's paradise, at least in some neighborhoods and
price ranges.
Realtors' offices are rife with fresh anecdotes of
sellers happily cherry-picking from multiple offers — some of them above
asking price.
How fast is the market moving? A new report shows that Denver
is No. 2 in the nation for the shortest time a home stays listed — 33
days — far below the national median time of 89 days.
Until
recently, prospective buyer Patty Kupfer had viewed shopping for a home
as a weekend diversion. You know, tell your broker that you're
available, say, from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Hah.

no such thing anymore as a weekend home tour," Kupfer said this week.
"Because if you wait 'til the weekend, nothing's going to be there. If
you're just looking casually, you're not really in the market."
