Unicorn Downtown Condos, A Craftsman on the Hill, and a Tale of First Time Buyers Who Find a Home
This week, we helped a young professional couple buy their first home in Boulder. Although we've already closed many deals in the first quarter, this one felt special. It wasn't the fact we beat many competitive offers, bidding wars in this price range and location are normal. It was the fact that the property works exceptionally well for these buyers and their objectives. It's not their dream home. It meets their needs, fits their budget, and years from now, when they move up to a "forever home", it will be a nice income producing asset in their investment portfolio. It [...]

Wow, that View! [Fresh Listings, Get ‘Em Hot]
Buying and selling Boulder real estate is tough. Every week, a flood of new listings hit the market. The truth is that when you look past the smoke and mirrors, past the refreshed old listings and the bad locations, only a handful of properties are worth consideration. Inventory remains very low. The best properties continue to attract multiple offers and end up in bidding wars. That's why serious buyers focus their attention on the most likely candidates. As we like to say in real estate, time is of the essence. Because we're nearing the end of a real [...]
