BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 3715 Cloverleaf Dr | $2.2M

• Just five houses to the north of 3625 Cloverleaf, which sold for $3.15M six days earlier. A raised ranch with four bedrooms, four baths, and about 3,100 F. SQFT. 
   
• Marketed as a new home, the developer actually repurposed the existing foundation and other structural elements of the home (just like 3625 Cloverleaf). 
   
• Acquired for only $910K in May 2021. Permits applied in October (five months later) and issued in February 2022 (another four months). Believe it or not, nine months from acquisition to shovel ready is pretty good in the City of Boulder. 
   
• Originally listed at $2.7M, the price was cut rapidly and multiple times. 3715 Cloverleaf Drive was on market for nearly 40 days before receiving an acceptable offer with an eventual selling price of $2.15M or 20% below original list.  For extra salt in the wound, the buyer also managed to extract an additional $5,000 for undisclosed reasons.
   
• Due Diligence: There are important differences between an entirely new home and one built utilizing an existing foundation and other structural elements. Your agent can guide you with information regarding those differences.
