Sign up HERE.What's New?After our annual retreat (highlight reel), we came back refreshed and recharged for the upcoming year. My biggest takeaways: Last year was exceptional for the team at House Einstein individually and collectively. That's not to say we didn't have our challenges, particularly at the beginning of the year. The way we handled those challenges helped things work out well in the end. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to work with such outstanding human beings. When the team is dialed in, working together becomes smooth and energetic. Our [...]

note: the following is the introduction to our most recent newsletter, which includes a review of the most interesting new listings to hit the market. Sign up here.How's The Market?You've read the news. The market has hit the brakes, hard. Showings have slowed to a trickle and inventory is showing year-over-year growth for the first time in many years. Preliminary sales volume data for this month looks shocking, so shocking that I can't quite believe it. I'm going to wait a full week into July before doing my data analysis, to make sure you have accurate information. For now, let's dig a little deeper: In Boulder County, 490 [...]
1782 Apple Valley Rd [Lyons Notable Sale]
LYONS NOTABLE SALE 1782 Apple Valley Rd | $1.6M Designed to feature gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside and river valley, this four bedroom, three bath sits on 2+ acres of land about five minutes from town. The original home was a small single story ranch constructed in the 60's. A previous owner added about 1,600 SQFT and thoroughly renovated the property. Deal notes: Listed just after the New Year, there was a fierce bidding war for the property which drove the price $250,000 over list. It sold for cash, no concessions. Like this content?

1235 Wildwood Road [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 1235 Wildwood Road | $2.13M Why Is It Notable? A late 70's, two-story in Devil's Thumb, with a classic configuration and no apparent updates from original construction. We would have advised our clients to avoid temptation by not scheduling a showing. The views are tremendous, but there's an electrical substation almost directly behind this property. Perhaps the new owners will screen it from view with landscaping, but then what's the point of backing to open space. I'm surprised this crossed $2M. Note Assuming the original acquisition price is correct in the tax records, and no follow-on capital investment, this property appreciated at an annualized rate of just over 6% [...]

1380 Riverside Avenue [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 1380 Riverside Avenue | $865K Why Is It Notable? An 80’s era two-story in Wildwood, the neighborhood directly east of Wonderland Lake. It was a small but tasteful property and likely a rental for many years. Finishes were well worn, and the house begged for updating, but the backyard was directly adjacent to open space and a riparian corridor. Lot size was tiny, and likely, further expansion was limited accordingly. My buyers were preparing to offer when it became clear that we were going to be outgunned. It’s sad to watch this one go, but perhaps also prudent. I think this sale pushes the comp fairly strongly [...]
943 Spruce Street [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 943 Spruce Street | $5.83M Why Is It Notable? Constructed in 1880, the Kohler Residence is a luxurious Mission Style historic home, with five bedrooms, five baths, and a little over 5,000 finished SQFT. The design includes a large covered porch, carriage house over the two-car garage, and a recent interior refinish. Like this content? Check out Fresh Listings.

1026 6th Street [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 1026 6th Street | $2.83M Why Is It Notable? A 17 year old Craftsman in Rosehill. Listed in April for $2.92M, it was on the market for 21 days before going under contract and sold for $2.83M (3.4% below list) on June 3rd. If this house looks familiar, it’s because we told you about it in an April edition of Fresh Listings, noting the high hazard conveyance zone and limited bedroom count.

Testimonials
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
