Top 10 Premiums Paid 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

#7 | 3830 Carlock Dr

Acquired in April, the Buyer for 3830 Carlock paid $318K (+33.5%) over list. 


1. The comps show the following range of values for multi-level houses in Table Mesa: $860K to $1.5M. Two broke through $1.4M (2865 La Grange and 3125 Endicott), both in arguably better locations but perhaps not with the view potential. 

2. Two facts suggest this home will be a flip. It was acquired in a brand new LLC and the listing photos have been taken down. Luckily, you can still see them if you dig. These pics show the home is mostly original condition with some signs of water damage in the basement. https://www.virtuance.com/listing/3830-carlock-dr-boulder-colorado

3. As of this writing, no new permits have been pulled for the remodel. Provided electrical and plumbing are not moved, this could still be a cosmetic flip project.

4. At the acquisition price of $1.27M, this home still has enough profit potential to be a solid investment play, but only if they’re disciplined. No permits have been pulled, so work will likely be cosmetic. Expect to see if back on the market in Jan with a test the market price. Sometimes views can push the profit handsomely. Likely they’ll want to find out.

P.S. 3125 Endicott was also acquired for far more than list. This introduces more risk for the flipper of 3830 Carlock. We’ll be discussing that deal later in this series on Top Premiums Paid in Boulder in ’22.

Testimonials

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.

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.
