Spring Market Update

We are a few months into 2026 and the spring market has started to take off. The current market feels a lot like the last couple of years in that the market is inconsistent. Some segments of the market are hot with multiple offers and some segments are sluggish. Lower priced single family homes within Boulder are moving quickly as are single family homes in the surrounding towns within Boulder County. The condo and townhome market is a bit slow all over the county as well as the market for high-end single family homes.

Property values in Boulder County traditionally flatten out when the market slows and we are currently in that cycle. With the slight ups and downs over the last few years, prices for single homes are approximately where they were at the top of the market in 2022. For attached dwellings, prices have decreased a bit or have remained flat depending on where they are located within Boulder County. The good news is that prices haven't dropped dramatically even though interest rates have still been hovering around 6%. Also, the number of sales of single-family homes as well as condos throughout Boulder County have not decreased in the last three years, however the amount of inventory has substantially increased. Not every property that comes on the market will sell. As a result, I am recommending that Sellers price their listings competitively.

The good news is that Boulder County continues to be rated one of the most stable real estate markets in the country. In the context of other investments – stocks, bonds, crypto-currency, etc. – buying REAL property in Boulder County rises to the top as a powerful and consistent way to build wealth.



If you’re going to sell in 2026, the first half of the year is traditionally the best time to be on the market. Buyers have a higher sense of urgency before we get into summer and before school starts.

2026 marks my 32nd year in real estate. I couldn't have made it this far without you and it has truly been a privilege working with you! I hope I’ll have the opportunity to put my experience and passion for real estate to work for you – whether I'm helping you buy & sell or just providing some straightforward advice. Also, please know that I always have time for your friends, family and co-workers and greatly appreciate your referrals. I promise to provide outstanding service that will make us both look good.

Best, Rich
