Boulder real estate sales have shown signs of improvement over the past year.  According to recent figures from IRES, comparing year-over-year results in 2009 vs. 2010, residential re-sale volume increased 10.5% in Boulder, while the median sales price increased 1.9% to $535,000.  The biggest increase in sales volume was in the Suburban Plains at +37.9% and the biggest increase in median price was in Louisville, at +11.3%.  One other statistic that stood out was in the average number of days to contract:  In every area of the County this number was level or declining (lower is better), except in Erie.  Erie figures actually showed an increase of 21.6% from 2009 to 2010 - by far the worst performer in that category, reflecting increasing inventory and…

Boulder home prices are on the rise . . . that's the headline I read in an article today.  Looking a little deeper it appeared as though they were simply comparing results from one month - June of 2009 with another month - June 2010, which may or may not present the whole story.  So, we wanted to take a closer look at how the Boulder real estate market has performed recently.
