The Biggest Discounts in Boulder ’22 #7

|January 15, 2023|Boulder, Notable Sale|
As we march onward into 2023, it’s worth looking back at the largest discounts, and premiums in Boulder County. 

The following was originally published on founding broker, Osman Parvez’s Twitter

Listed with a “let’s test the market” price of $3.5M in Jan, the seller slashed the price 9 days later by 10%. About 3 weeks later, it finally went under contract, eventually closing for $2.65M or 15.9% below asking.


Lesson 1: Incredible views and a rare location won’t spare you the cost of a wishful thinking price. 

Lesson 2:  Don’t test buyer appetite at the end of a bull market. 

Lesson 3: Always negotiate on a stale listing. 

Lesson 4: Staging sells faster and for more money.
