It's important to get to know the market you're interested in before buying so that you can recognize a great value when you see it. I set up listing alerts for my buyers as early as possible in their property search, which allows them to get a good idea of what certain neighborhoods are commanding. Getting out and seeing homes in person and not just online is another recommendation, even if they aren't exactly what you might want. I even recommend it to my sellers; it helps to prepare them for what buyers are going to expect at their price level. This Friday morning, the tour takes me to North Boulder - give me call if you'd like to come along.

1999 Joslyn Place - $795,000
On the market two weeks, this 2900 sqft home claims to be priced for "a quick sale." The last recorded sale of the property was in 1982 for $145,000. The sellers are currently going through a punch list of items to be completed before the sale is closed, although the pictures already look pretty good. 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, 2 car garage, finished basement, Bosch stainless steel appliances, wood floors on a corner lot in Courtside.

| Spacious outdoor living |
2564 Pampas Court - $795,000
This house backs to a private, 4+ acre park in Centennial Meadows. It's a 2 story with no basement, but with over 3000 sqft, 5 bedrooms and 3 car garage you may not need the extra square footage below. With wood floors, 5 piece master bath, see-through fireplace, hot tub, stainless steel and granite, it sits on a .38 acre lot with mature trees and garden.

| New "hard" stucco exterior |
4020 Bimini Court - $849,000
Built in the late 90s, this Four Mile Creek home has been recently remodeled with birch doors, maple floors, walnut cabinets, tray ceilings in the finished basement, and updated contemporary kitchen appliances and countertops. It sits on a smaller lot, as the Four Mile Creek homes do, but it looks to have beautiful landscaping and deck, as well as 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and 4862 total sqft.

| Back of the home |
636 Linden Park Drive - $850,000
This Wonderland Hill ranch home was built in the early 70s and has only had one owner; it was originally purchased for $52,500 in 1972. At the foot of the mountains, it has 2750 sqft, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2 car garage and finished walk-out basement with fireplace. It does appear to need some updating, although adequately maintained and livable, and the covered deck and backyard are "paradise." The location and lack of an HOA could be a real draw for some buyers.

| Attention to detail and finishes |
989 S. Terrace Circle - $860,000
Only a decade old, this Dakota Ridge Village 2-story home has incredible views of the foothills but no backyard. For some, the lack of yard maintenance and the abundant surrounding open space will be a big selling point. Wood floors, marble entry, cherry cabinets, Viking stainless steel appliances, and 13' wet bar in the finished basement enhance this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3981 sqft home.
