West Boulder Market is HOT! Spring 2012 Sales Data Encouraging

The weather heated up early this year in Boulder and so did the real estate market in my home neighborhood -- the greater Flatirons area (University Hill, Rose Hill, Chautauqua). Spring sales show that the pent-up demand we’ve been hearing about during the recession is becoming “un-pent.” See table below for 2012 sales through mid-May. Confidence has returned and motivated buyers are coming out of the woodwork – from CU parents to investors and homebuyers. The problem is that there are not enough quality homes on the market for them to buy. In mid-May there were 43 active listings under $2 million in this area, of which 19 were already under contract!
SOLD! My listing at 990 Lincoln Place went under contract in two weeks.
