Pending Sales and Inventory Availability [Market Update]
by Osman Parvez
Here’s a quick look at pending sales and inventory availability across Boulder County. The key metric: Percent of inventory currently under contract.
The chart above shows inventory of homes under contract with a buyer for Boulder, Boulder Attached Dwellings (town homes and condos), Longmont, Superior, Louisville, and Lafayette.
Perhaps a surprise to many, Boulder has 40% under contract; less than adjacent markets. Louisville is leading the region with 61% under contract. If you’re a buyer, flip that around. Boulder has more available inventory than any other local market. If you’re shopping in Louisville, good luck. You may have to look at unlisted and upcoming properties, like this one.
The majority of homes under contract will close within 30-45 days. Buyer remorse is increasingly a factor, largely driven by bidding wars. Just because you lost the bidding war doesn’t mean you won’t get the house. A backup offer may be warranted. Talk to your agent for details.

Testimonials
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
