Boulder County 1Q20

Today Governor Polis is easing up on some virus restrictions, allowing retail businesses to conduct curbside pickup and real estate agents to schedule in-person showings, all with masks, gloves and social distancing guidelines. Most counties in the area, except for Boulder county, are extending their stay-at-home order until May 8, though. Of course, these restrictions are greatly affecting the real estate market, with the showing dip beginning at the end of March.

March showings are just above the 7-year low

First quarter was promising another busy spring

Despite showings only being allowed virtually, houses at the entry level under $450,000 are still seeing a lot of interest. My listing in north Westminster got 3 offers in 2 days before anyone had even set foot in the property. Pent-up buyer demand seems to indicate that our busy spring season will be pushed to late summer. If you have any questions about how to navigate this odd market, don't hesitate to reach out!

REALTORS® Relief Foundation

The RRF was launched immediately following the terrorist attack on 9/11 when it raised more than $8.4 million to help the survivors stay in their homes. Since then, REALTORS® have raised more than $32 million to provide housing assistance for victims of disasters such as tornadoes, wildfires, hurricanes and floods. The National Association of REALTORS® pays all of the administrative fees associated with this assistance so that 100% of the donations can go to families in need.

NAR is paying close attention to the current health crisis and continues to advocate for homeowners. RRF has not had any requests for relief in regards to Covid-19, but the REALTOR Political Action Committee (RPAC) is working closely with legislatures on the local, state and national levels to allow buyers and sellers to continue toward closing their transactions. As a supporter of RPAC and member of the Boulder Area Realtor Association Board of Directors, I have the most current updates on how the market is changing, so don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
