BOULDER NOTABLE SALE: 523 Arkansas Mountain Rd
Boulder Notable Sale: 523 Arkansas Mountain Rd | $1.33M We covered the top level overview of this sale in podcast #56.

Likely the seller (and agent #1) were eyeing that sale price and thought it was a good comp. It wasn’t. Not even close. 906 Arkansas is several decades newer, better designed, and arguably more fire [...]
