The Boulder Real Estate Market is Up
Wednesday, April 25th, 2012 at 10:35pm. 713 Views, 0 Comments.
The Boulder real estate market is up! The first quarter of 2012 has been quite a contrast in terms of Boulder-area real estate statistics are concerned. Compared to the first quarter of 2011, all of the market's "vital signs" have moved in a positive direction. Take a look at some eye-opening stats using the following link:
In the Boulder County residential resale market we have seen a significant decrease in inventory, with active listings down almost 15% vs. last year, median sales prices up 5.3%, average prices up 2.7%, and the number of sales (volume), up 17.1%. Multiple offers are much more common now on agressively priced homes, as are contract prices above list. What a difference a year makes!
If you're considering buying a Boulder home,…
What's Your Walk Score ® ?
Friday, March 16th, 2012 at 3:14pm. 402 Views, 0 Comments.
What's your Walk Score®? First of all, what is a Walk Score, anyway? It's essentially a score or ranking of a specific location relative to its proximity to local businesses, shops, schools, parks, etc., accordng to WalkScore.com. The higher the score, the more "walkable", or proximate the location is. The next question is, how important is this ranking to home buyers and sellers?
Apparently it's pretty important. In fact, the "commute time" and "places to walk" are 2 of the 3 most important features of a home and/or neighborhood (Source: National Association of Realtors). Home buyers often place a premium on convenience these days, so accessibility and shorter commute times to work can be critical factors impacting the home-buying decision.

Boulder Property Listings: Where Are We in the Cycle?
Thursday, March 8th, 2012 at 2:28pm. 310 Views, 0 Comments.
Boulder property listings: Whare are we in the cycle? At the beginning of the year, it is typical that the MLS listing inventory here in Boulder County is at a low level. I recently posted a statistical summary chart on Posterous.com, where you can see that trend going back to 2005. What you also see on that chart is that the inventory level we started out with this year is also low . . . really low by historical standards.
I also recently posted an article and a video of a recent interview with Greg Rand on FoxNews, detailing some compelling reasons why single-family homes in our region are worth buying now on an investment basis. You also have to consider the potential advantages of locking in a long-term mortgage interest rate that is also…
Boulder Homes For Sale: Boulder MLS Listings Offer a Range of Prices
Wednesday, January 11th, 2012 at 5:34pm. 443 Views, 2 Comments.
Boulder Homes For Sale: Boulder MLS listings offer a wide range of prices; based on IRES data today, there are some 470 single-family listings active in Boulder that range in price from a low of $85,000 (Gold Hill cabin), to $8.5 million up in Pine Brook, with 73 classified as either under contract, under a first right or pending. That equates to an under-contract ratio of about 16% in Boulder right now.
With this broad range of local inventory available right now, coupled with the lowest mortgage interest rates many people have seen in their lifetime, it makes sense to at least take a look at the opportunities that are out there right now. The Boulder real estate market has fared pretty well during the past 12 months (ending in November, 2011;…
Boulder, CO and the Improving Market Index (IMI)
Wednesday, December 28th, 2011 at 6:51pm. 431 Views, 0 Comments.
Boulder, CO makes the Improving Market Index, or IMI, in December, 2011! This is a national leading-market indicator published monthly by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and First American. The most recent edition was published on 12/6/11 and featured 20 new additions. We think this is an interesting statistical index because it reflects cities that have exhibited improvements in single-family building permits, employment and home prices for at least 6 consecutive months. Colorado actually placed two cities on the list this time around - Boulder and Ft. Collins.
On a broader level, it is also interesting and encouraging that the most-recent IMI list has expanded for 4 straight months, increasing from 30 to 41 cities across the…

Boulder Real Estate Transactions | A Market Overview
Monday, January 31st, 2011 at 3:45pm. 2761 Views, 0 Comments.
Boulder real estate transactions: A market overview for the year-end 2010 reveals that in general, the single-family Boulder real estate market ended up fairly flat for 2010. Using IRES data as of 1-31-2011, we compared the median price of a sold listing in December, 2009, with the same result for December, 2010. The data reflected a median price increase over the past year of about 1.1% ($554,000 to $560,000), again, comparing December to December.
Other indicators included a slight increase the number of units for sale (+3.8%), a much larger increase in the number of units sold (+16.9%), and a decrease in the MSI, or months' supply of inventory (-35.5%). The combination of increasing median price, the number of units sold, and a decrease in the MSI,…

Boulder Real Estate Sales Transactions: A Year-To-Date Perspective
Saturday, October 16th, 2010 at 4:15pm. 317 Views, 0 Comments.
Boulder real estate sales transactions: A year-to-date perspective of the Boulder Valley real estate market reveals some interesting trends. We took a look back at real estate sales transactions, average and median prices, and the number of single-family units sold, going back 5 years and using IRES data from the end of the 3rd quarter in each year.
It's interesting to note that while sales volume (the number of units sold) is down significantly from the peak, Boulder home prices have generally not followed suit. While some modest price decline is evident from the peak, it's the decline in sales volume that is far more pronounced.
Based on this data, Boulder's home-sale volume peaked in 2006, reached its low ebb in 2009, and saw some improvement…
Boulder Home Prices: Up or Down?
Tuesday, August 17th, 2010 at 5:42pm. 385 Views, 0 Comments.
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.
Our analysis is based on data from IRES as of 8/17/2010, and includes single-family resale statistics across all price ranges during the previous 12 months. The first indicator we looked at was the median price of a sold listing during this period, which reflected a relatively flat market with a decrease of 0.4%. The average price was actually up about 8.5% but we believe the fact…
