Who Wants a Zamboni? [Boulder Fresh Listings]

This week's fresh listings include drool worthy mountain estates, brand new spec homes, and adorable small-is-beautiful options.  Remember, the market continues to cool. Prime locations and homes at the entry level are still seeing strong demand and bidding wars, but inventory is starting to pile up at the higher end. Careful property selection and disciplined negotiation are now critical to reducing risk of capital loss. Welcome to a buyer's market.  Market update: Inventory was up 35% in the City of Boulder for houses last month, while sales slid 26.3% (YoY). Longmont fared better, with sales sliding only 7.5% and inventory increasing 12.4%. Remember, intelligent [...]

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 [...]

Winter Is NOT Coming [Boulder Fresh Listings]

Come on people, step away from HBO for a moment. We're in the SPRING market! There are over 1,500 listings on the market in Boulder County. Nearly two hundred more hit the market this week, alone.  Can you read past the doctored listing photos and Realtor hyperbole? If you're a buyer, what's worth seeing and what should you skip over?  Many listings are overpriced, poorly located or in compromised locations. Yet nearly 1 in 5 houses during the 1st quarter sold for more than asking in the City. Once again, it's a tale of two markets.  To help guide you, I sifted [...]

Have You Found Your Way Home Yet? [Boulder – Fresh Listings]

Home. It's where families grow together and friendships kindle. It's where we break bread and share our life stories. Memories of our childhood homes create a resonance, a fond nostalgia for time and place.  Well designed historic homes and those that echo historic design themes remain highly in demand, no matter the economic or real estate cycle.   This week's fresh listings include another Charles Haertling masterpiece, an estate with true waterfront, a beautifully updated historic home in Chautauqua and more.   179 new listings hit the MLS this week. Only 7 made the list.  Remember: just because it's worth seeing doesn't [...]

Facts + Historic Mapleton Hill + ADUs,+ Newlands + Hidden Upside + More [Boulder Fresh Listings]

You can't make an intelligent decision without knowing the facts. Period.  Spring is here and the Boulder real estate season is officially underway. Overall, inventory is up and buyers have more selection now than in the past several years. More sellers are bringing their homes to market and facing stiffer competition. Things could get interesting.   Remember, market conditions vary dramatically by price range, property type, and location - down to the neighborhood and street level. The market for a custom home in Table Mesa is not the same as Majestic Heights, despite being separated by a single (albeit busy) street. [...]

Architectural Stunners and Mountain Dream Homes [Boulder Fresh Listings]

Organic architecture creates harmony between living spaces and the natural world around it. Designers utilize large portals to the outdoors with an orientation to views or geologic features, plus other elements inspired by natural forms. Some designs have been more enduring than others.  This week, several homes with outstanding design features made the list. These include a Steve Dodd home in exclusive Lake of the Pines and a stunning mid-century Tician Papachristou off Lee Hill Rd.  Note: It's spring break for BVSD. Many potential buyers are out of town, which is why this week is normally a slow one for Boulder [...]

Mapleton Hill Trophy or Mountain Log Cabin? Choose Your Adventure [Boulder – Fresh Listings]

The Boulder real estate market is starting to heat up. There are now over 1,300 properties listed for sale. About 43% are under contract.   Believe it or not, the market is more balanced now than in many years. In the city of Boulder, house inventory is up about 10%. Attached dwellings (condos and townhomes) are up far higher, largely driven by new construction. Buyers have more selection and fewer bidding wars. But make no mistake, attractive, well priced properties will continue to disappear quickly. The key is knowing which homes are worth your time to consider.  Like the chart above? Visit our [...]

Winter is Coming [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]

Break out your sweaters.   Year after year, the run-up to Thanksgiving is when we see the most motivated, reasonably priced listings hit the local real estate market. This year is no exception. Last week's Denver Post click-bait article about an algorithm predicting a market crash seems to have scared a bunch of people into listing their homes. Is it the start of the correction or the usual Autumn slow-down?  Remember: human psychology drives markets in the short-term. Fundamentals rule the long-term. The market is showing some signs of cooling, even though appreciation rates maintained upward momentum through the third quarter [...]
