Boulder County January Statistics

The trends from 2020 continue. The number of total active listings (detached single family homes) is down significantly from this time last year, almost 36%. Correspondingly, the average market time is down over 27% as buyer demand remains high.  Average and median sales price continues to go up as buyers compete for the homes for sale.

Townhouses and condos  are behaving similarly...

If you're a seller who's been on the fence about putting your house on the market, I advise you to seriously consider doing it soon. The property does not have to be in perfect condition to find interested buyers. Interest rate are still low and multiple offer situations can drive up the purchase price. If you're a buyer, I know a lot of ways to make your offer competitive and stand out. I also have a great app for house searching that is updated by both the Denver and Boulder MLS several times a day - just shoot me a text/email/phone call and I'll get it over to you!

FOR SALE: 11371 Fenton Street, Westminster

 

In this low-inventory market, buyers are being asked to waive many contract contingencies to compete for the few properties out there. Good news for sellers but can be nerve-wracking for buyers and their agents, especially if the expectation is that there will be no inspection. As a Buyer's Agent, I never recommend waiving an inspection altogether, although a buyer should limit their repair requests to serious issues. As a Listing Agent, I advise my sellers to get a pre-listing inspection done so that they can know the issues and ready the house for the market. 

For this new Arrowhead listing, the sellers want buyers to know that most of the major systems have been replaced within the last few years - high- efficiency furnace, central A/C, water heater, electrical panel, plumbing, garage door, patio, exterior paint. This translates to peace of mind for buyers, knowing that they won't be surprised by any large expenses once they get into the home. The biggest item that will need attention is the worn carpeting, for which the sellers are offering a $4000 credit at closing.

Arrowhead is not far from several places to shop, eat or watch a movie. It's also just a minute from US-36. This 2-story home has a main floor master with 5-piece bathroom, three bedrooms up with a loft, large eat-in kitchen and separate dining room, stainless steel appliances, wood floors on the main level, partially finished basement, sprinklers in front and back, washer and dryer included. With a total of 2875sqft, there's room for everyone to have their own space.

Contact me if you'd like to see it - we have dozens of showings already scheduled this weekend. Or check out the video tour or 3D tour and let me know if you want to tour it in person.
