The weekend before Thanksgiving is usually a very quiet time in Boulder real estate. Sellers who list are signaling their motivation. Buyers out there seeing houses are value oriented, but patient.
We've sifted through the listings that hit the market, removing the stale properties, bad locations, and absurdly overpriced homes. These are the best listings to hit the market this week. As usual, we also included several notable sales to keep you on top of market conditions. Remember: Smart real estate decisions are based on deep knowledge of market conditions, there is no substitute.
Sold Listings of Note
Spacious, mostly updated with a nice kitchen, great neighborhood, affordable price. Sold for $7K over asking on 11/14/17. 6 days to offer. We're fans of Renaissance, it's an easy (and scenic) commute into Boulder with the area's best cyclic routes just outside your door. Due diligence: Air traffic noise.
Remodeled and expanded two story in Martin Acres with tall ceilings on the main level. It sold for $29K below asking on 11/14/17. 24 days to offer. $900K is now a good rule of thumb for recently popped houses in South Boulder.
Modern, elegant, large, brand new in hip Prospect. Under contract for 190 days while under completion. Sold for asking on 11/15/17. If you're a fan of contemporary houses, and want to live in vibrant mixed-use neighborhood, Prospect should be on your list.
Fresh Listings
Boulder
Spacious home with vaulted ceilings, backs to Wonderland Lake with great Foothill views. Finishes need a refresh. Layout is split. The value is in the location.

Rarely available and one of the more unique locations in all of Boulder. Hidden off 17th St and backs to Boulder Creek. Close to downtown. Spacious with 5 beds, 3 baths and over 4,000 SQFT. Due diligence: flood risk and transients sleeping on the creek bank.
Louisville
Large 6 bed, 3 bath one block to the heart of downtown. Built in 1948. Needs serious renovations, but perhaps it has solid bones for your remodel.
Note: We have an unlisted, beautiful historic property available in Old Town Louisville. If you're seriously considering this one, but don't need all those bedrooms, call us.
