Boulder Real Estate Market Update – October Snapshot

The latest numbers are in, and Boulder’s housing market continues to show steady, healthy activity heading into the fall with a robust amount of activity in luxury attached units and in the $2M - $3M price range for the City of Boulder where home prices are up about 10% year-over-year, with sales also ticking up 2–3%.

Boulder County: Prices rose 3% YOY, and overall sales volume climbed 3%—a sign of continued confidence in our local market where moves are motivated more by life changes and needs, emotionally driven, rather than manipulated by politics or economics. It is those sidelined who are driving more of that stagnant energy. When they flood the market, a surge of activity will put us back into another cycle of absorption and appreciation, the delicate dance in supply and demand.

In both the City and County, we are seeing around 70 days on market (not including CDOM on re listed homes), reflecting a balanced pace where buyers and sellers both have time to make thoughtful decisions.

We’re also seeing more new listings—up 16% in the city and 1.6% in the county—giving buyers more choices as we head into the holiday season.

Many of these are refreshed or re-listed homes, showing that sellers are staying engaged and ready to meet demand.

Overall, the Boulder area market remains stable, active, and resilient—a great sign for our vibrant community and those looking to make a move soon.

The Holidays tend to bring fewer buyers into action, so making a move now comes with the advantage of less competition, and sellers currently on the market are typically very real, have fewer listings to contend with before the flood of new listings arrives with the New year.

What this means for each neighborhood and individual is clearly variable, so if you are curious to see how you are impacted based on your vision for what is to come, we can chat! Wishing you Peace, Love, Safety, and Abundance.

Boulder Real Estate: The Story of a Market Finding Its Balance

Remember the wild days of 2021–2022? Homes flying off the market in days, bidding wars that felt like auctions, and buyers stretching to compete?

Fast forward to today — and the story has changed. The Boulder market has taken a deep breath. There’s more choice, more time to think, and a bit more room to negotiate. It’s not the frenzy it once was… and that’s not a bad thing.

For sellers, prices are still strong — the median hovers above $900K — but expectations matter. The key now is realistic pricing, patience, and sometimes offering a little extra incentive to make your property stand out.
For buyers, it’s a window of opportunity: less competition and a chance to find the right fit without rushing.

And for everyone, the details matter more than ever — location, property condition, price point. The luxury market moves differently than entry-level homes, and interest rates still shape every decision.

In short: Boulder’s market isn’t cooling — it’s balancing. There are exceptions to every rule and we are navigating how to address each home, each neighborhood, each obstacle individually to best serve the market and one another.

Moving into our traditionally slower months for market activity, this offers both buyers and sellers an opportunity to perform or execute their vision with less competition than they will be facing at the start of the year and when spring arrives.

IF you’re ready, you have a great opportunity right now! Message me if you want to talk about your next move.

The days may continue to become shorter, but a little more morning light helps take the edge off. This Sunday, we fall back one hour.

I’m curious if you often wonder how many active buyers are searching for a home like yours right now in Boulder?

Compass’ Buyer Demand tool gives me real-time insight into what buyers are looking for and where demand is trending — before your home ever hits the market.

It’s amazing that our software allows for me to dial into the statistics at a deeper level to deliver more accurate representations for effective pricing. Coupled with my approach spending hours sourcing to produce data that MLS, Zillow, or other syndicates cannot provide, I feel lucky to have access to a suite of tools that only makes me more effective for you.

Buyer’s Demand is one of the many next-level tools I use to give my clients a true edge in this competitive Boulder market and I cannot wait to show you.

Closing day on my sellers dream home as they follow what life brings them in the next chapter of the wild ride, and they say goodbye to one they truly loved.

Intuition matters and GAWD, I was spot on through this one.

I am proud to have represented such hardworking sellers, trusted my instincts through every step, and now, we’re officially closed.

Here’s to dedication, trust, and a memorable finish. Polished product delivered with pride. Cheers for what’s to come to all involved. I hope it’s really good.

Just closed on a little condo that means a lot — For me, it is about people, not price.

These clients aren’t just repeat clients — they’re the kind of people you feel lucky to work with. Trust, loyalty, a shared sense of humor through the ups and downs… this was one of those opportunities that reminds me how much relationships matter in this life.

Grateful for them. Proud of the work we did together. And happy to see this one close with care and heart.

Keep it clean. Consumers have no fault in misunderstanding how Zillow works, because Zillow lacks transparency in how they monetize our content, our work, our expertise. From a place of fear, they sell our content to desperate agents who need to buy leads and guide prospective clients to other homes. Because they don’t know. A lot. Some of it is about back bone. One they want but don’t have. A listing agent clearly l knows their product. A listing agent knows they’re their listing better than the general public, another agent, an Appraisor, a neighbor, and they know their seller. This brings power to the consumer, both buyer and seller. Being able to present the property in an accurate light and also listen to the perspective fire to understand how it may or may not fit their needs is everything. When Zillow sells their leads, their agents literally skip every step. They don’t listen, they don’t explain and they actually don’t know what they’re talking about. If you’re feeling confused, or curious, I’m happy to help look at this from a few angles, not from right or wrong, but because we want to understand each other. If you’re down, hit me up. It’s an easy chat
