What Lakewood homeowners should know
Lakewood is Colorado’s fifth-largest city, just west of Denver in Jefferson County. It grew up along Colfax Avenue and U.S. Route 40 without a traditional downtown, and most of the city’s housing dates from the 1950s through the 1970s, giving Lakewood a large stock of ranch and split-level homes now 50 years or older. The Belmar district, built on the site of the former Villa Italia Mall, is the closest thing the city has to a modern town center, mixing newer residential with retail. Jefferson County’s foothills location means some Lakewood homes, especially older ones, have expansive soils or aging systems that show up during inspection, and hail is a regular seasonal risk across the metro that affects roof condition on older homes.

Why Lakewood owners sell as-is
1950s-1970s housing needing updates
Most of Lakewood was built out in the decades after World War II, so original electrical panels, older plumbing and roofs nearing the end of their service life are common across the city. These repair needs are one of the main reasons owners of older Lakewood homes choose a fast, as-is sale.
Hail damage and roof claims
Lakewood sits in the same hail-prone stretch of the Front Range as the rest of the Denver metro, and severe storms have caused widespread roof damage in recent years. Unresolved hail damage or an open insurance claim can slow down financing for a traditional sale.
Expansive soils near the foothills
Parts of Jefferson County, including areas of Lakewood closer to the foothills, sit on clay-rich soils that can expand and contract with moisture, which over time can cause foundation cracks or settling. It’s a known issue in the area and something inspectors specifically check for on older homes.

Jefferson County
Lakewood is in Jefferson County, and it is the county seat. Probate matters are heard in the 1st Judicial District Court’s probate division in Golden. Colorado foreclosures on deeds of trust go through the county Public Trustee rather than the courts, so the Jefferson County Public Trustee runs non-judicial foreclosure sales for Lakewood properties, and delinquent taxes go to the county’s annual tax lien sale.

Selling a house for cash in Lakewood
Do older Lakewood homes need a lot of repairs before selling?
Many do. Most of Lakewood’s housing was built between the 1950s and 1970s, so original electrical, plumbing or an aging roof are common. A traditional sale often means fixing those before closing, but an as-is cash sale is priced around the home’s current condition, so you can skip the repair list.
Are foundation issues common in Lakewood?
Some areas closer to the foothills sit on expansive clay soils that can shift with moisture and cause foundation cracking over time. It’s a known concern in Jefferson County generally, and it’s one of the things inspectors look at closely, especially on older homes.
Where is probate or foreclosure handled for a Lakewood home?
Lakewood is in Jefferson County, which is also the county seat. Probate cases go through the 1st Judicial District Court’s probate division in Golden, and foreclosures on deeds of trust are handled outside of court by the Jefferson County Public Trustee.
Do I pay any fees or closing costs when I sell to BAM in Lakewood?
No. There are no commissions or fees, and we pay all of the normal seller closing costs. The offer we make is the amount you walk away with, minus only what you owe, like a mortgage payoff or back taxes.
