Forecast: Bidding Wars Ahead? [Analyze This]

Anxious for accurate market data? Check this out.
You’re looking at the last few years of Boulder real estate appreciation – the change in median sale value for houses, attached dwellings, and the Martin Acres Index are broken out. Show me a better performing asset class with easy access to financing, a high percentage of leverage, preferred tax treatment, and where you can host a dinner party.
Houses posted three solid years of gains in Boulder. Condos out performed in 2012 but trailed houses in 2013 before gaining some ground in 2014. The benchmark MAI saw strong gain in 2012, was relatively flat in 2013, and then screamed ahead in 2014.
As I tell my clients, the best investment doesn’t necessarily equal a great living situation for you and your family. There’s more to property selection than analyzing investment performance, but it should never, ever be ignored when diving into a real estate acquisition.

By the way, this is just a teaser. The new client research report will be issued this week. It includes a detailed analysis of market conditions for houses and attached dwellings. It also digs deep into the MAI, negotiated discounts, absorption rates, our 2015 forecast, and more. Click below to sign up.

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.
