Boulder Housing Report: We thought it would be interesting to compare some recent national housing trends to what we've experienced with Boulder real estate during the past 12 months.  RE/MAX recently published the October, 2011 National Housing Report, which is based on a survey of housing data published in 53 metro areas across the country.

The above report from RE/MAX International reveals some interesting national housing trends:

• Through October, 2011, it was the 4th consecutive month with year-over-year sales (volume) increases
• Foreclosure inventory is down
• Housing inventory dropped for the 16th straight month
• Home prices were down slightly

The Boulder real estate market has seen some similar, but not identical results reflected above. 

Blue Heron, Lafayette Homes For Sale:  Blue Heron is a very popular neighborhood, a gated community located just off the intersection of Arapahoe and 95th in Lafayette.  There are currently 11 homes listed for sale in Blue Heron, and we just put the home at 2494 Ginny Way under contract.  This is a wonderful home that backs up to the neighborhood park, and features over 6,000 square feet on one of the biggest lots in Blue Heron at .44 acres.

This neighborhood has a lot to offer and has long been one of the most popular in Lafayette.  It's conveniently located with easy access to local shopping, the park, and to Boulder via Arapahoe Rd., and it provides Blue Heron residents with common amenities such as the private 5-acre park, play area, pool, and tennis
