Osman Parvez|October 7, 2022|Real Estate|

Get the facts, make a smarter real estate decision.

It’s never been more important to adjust your real estate strategy to rapidly changing market conditions. Here’s how the market really looks in the City of Boulder:

72 single family, detached houses sold last month, down 37% year over year and 29% below average for September. This breaks a 6 year record low. 244 houses sold in the City of Boulder during the quarter, 95 fewer houses than average for the period.

49% fewer homes went under contract compared to last year. September was the 5th straight month of below average pending sales in Boulder.

There were a little over 200 homes in active status on the MLS at the end of September, 17% below average but up a massive 64% year over year.

The median house was on market for 43 days in September, up 16% YoY and just slightly above average.

Note: Denver and Boulder report DOM differently. For Boulder, this chart represents the time from listing activation to closing.

Single family, detached houses in Boulder sold for $504/T.SQFT in September, up 6.3% YoY, well below CPI. Still, even with ups and downs, Boulder real estate has performed exceptionally well in the long-term. The median sale price was $1,191,500 last month.

In addition to pending sales, new listings are a leading indicator for where the market is headed. Boulder sellers brought only 113 new listings to market last month, 16% below average and down 12% YoY. This is the third straight month of below average listing activity.

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.
