Farm Fantasies, Fairy Tales, and Bidding Wars [Boulder Fresh Listings]
Growing up in upstate New York, in a rural home with 40+ acres, I have a fondness for wide open spaces and the rough honesty of country living. The allure of acreage is strong but here in the west, soil and climate offer unique challenges. That doesn't stop buyers from coveting the the mountain homes, ranches, and farms that dot the landscape around Boulder. Many well heeled owners have invested in building dream homes in these places, but not every home is what it seems. This week, we highlight nine new listings that have just come on market in Boulder.

Home Runs and Hobby Farms [Boulder Notable Sales]
As Babe Ruth once said, "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." So swing batter, swing because this week we cover five notable sales, including a highly profitable spec home built on the bones of a basic ranch and a hobby farm that tested the market (and failed).

Summer Is Here – for Buyers [Boulder Fresh Listings]
Imagine living in a cinematic mountain retreat, with jaw dropping views, surrounded by acres and acres of privacy. You'll find it, as well as other worthy options in this week's fresh listings. It's now peak season. Nearly 200 listings hit the market last week in Boulder. Only 8 made the cut. Market update: Last month, inventory was up +31% YoY for detached single family houses and +29% for attached dwellings in the City of Boulder. In Boulder County, inventory was +19% for single family homes and +46% town homes and condos. When it comes to selection, this is the best year [...]
Reading Tea Leaves [Boulder Sales of Note]
NOTE: This week, Sales of Note launches as a series on its own instead of being a section in our weekly review of new listings. I'll run this as an experiment for a few months and see how it pans out. What makes for a notable sale? In short, notable sales are properties that are representative of a property type, price range, location, or are simply unique enough to justify the spotlight. Sometimes we have inside knowledge of a deal, which justifies its inclusion. Other times we're market observers, staring into the tea leaves and telling the story. Ready? It's [...]
Choose Your Adventure [Boulder Fresh Listings]
The final push into the Boulder summer real estate market is about to kick off. This is peak season, people. Inventory will soon crescendo and buyers will become even more aggressive to lock down rare and desirable properties. For the next 4-6 weeks, at least. Yes, the market is also cooling so cautious and prudent target selection remains critical. For high-demand properties, just don't expect to be the only interested buyer. The key is knowing which ones are worth the bidding war and which ones you can safely let go. Just this morning, I helped potential buyers understand that the property [...]

Home of the Free, Because of the Brave
As we enter into the weekend, community festivities, family gatherings, and celebrations commence in Boulder, CO. Here at House Einstein, we're all for celebrating, but it's important to recognize what this holiday is really about. It's about remembering and honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country with the United States military. Abraham Lincoln said it best: "The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here [...]
Staying Hot with a Cooling Market [Boulder Fresh Listings]
At my Rotary meeting last week, another Realtor asked if I was starting to see my business slow down. I told him that the market was definitely cooler this spring but House Einstein was having a very busy season. Our best yet. Helping buyers and sellers understand local market conditions has always been a big part of our mission. If you ask a typical Realtor about market conditions, you'll likely hear more about their personal business activity rather than the market as a whole. Or you'll hear about market conditions for the entire County, not conditions for the city much [...]
