Boulder County has averaged 5.5% appreciation since 1978, 5.6% in the past decade. If you'd like to see what your neighborhood has been doing and get a free, no-obligation opinion of value for your house just let me know. We can also talk about the costs associated with selling and how much you can expect to walk away with should you decide to sell.

Broomfield Heights 1st Filing Update

As my buyers could tell you, the market did not really see a seasonal slowdown this year. Yes, there were less listings in December but we've seen low inventory for years. More telling is that there are still multiple offer situations happening in many neighborhoods. To give you an idea, a bilevel in Northglenn fell out of contract a few days ago and was planning on beginning showings again on January 15. Within hours it was under contract again. The first time around, the sellers received 13 offers. The second time, four of those buyers came back, one buyer knocked on the door to ask the sellers to see it and submitted an offer, and the sixth wrote a bid sight-unseen.

Broomfield Heights, the neighborhood I live in, is no different. My neighborhood is the original filing in the city of Broomfield, built in the late 1950s - early 1960s. It's mostly brick ranches with full basements with a few bi- and tri-levels thrown in. Solid homes, good sized lots, many needing upgrades and some getting picked up by investors who are flipping them back onto the market within months. 

Despite the pandemic and election uncertainties, sales in 2020 exceeded 2019 and 2018 in the 1st Filing of Broomfield Heights, with quarterly sales pretty consistent across the year. 

The median $/sqft can vary, but the trendline is still on an upward trajectory. The $/sqft is only one factor to consider while evaluating the value of properties. When used in a fairly homogenous group, i.e., homes that are the same age, same construction, similar square footage, it can be a good indicator of appreciation. 

If you'd like a Broker Opinion of Value on your home, let me know. I just need a quick tour of your house and a list of upgrades you've completed since you bought. I can also provide you with an estimated net sheet that will show all of the costs associated with selling. This will give you a good idea of the proceeds you could walk away with if you decided to sell. No obligation, no high pressure, just information and a solid resource for your real estate needs.
