Lower Chautauqua or Newlands? Tough Choice [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]
By Osman Parvez ------- Where would you rather live? Lower Chautauqua or Newlands? Pine Brook or Devil's Thumb? Martin Acres, Majestic Heights, or Lower Table Mesa? I've sold homes in every neighborhood in Boulder. Twelve years ago, when inventory was high, my buyers could be very selective. Today, the optimal house shopping strategy is opportunistic. My buyers have found success by being open to possibilities in all Boulder neighborhoods, understanding key differences between locations, and considering each opportunity, as it arises. Ready to write your offer? Good. Now let's get ready for a bidding war. Just remember on thing: Because [...]

There’s Always Another House [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]
It's hard for me to believe. I've been working with buyers and sellers for nearly 15 years. Based on all those years, this I know for sure: There is always another house. If you missed out on a listing, it's best to lick your paws and let it go. When you're ready, dust off and get back in the game. Yes, losing a bidding war can be painful. Sometimes another buyer, with greater financial resources (or far less prudence) wants it more than you do. Meanwhile, "winning" only to get cold feet a few days later and bail out is not winning [...]
