Why Is It Notable?
The Panorama - Alpine - Balsam peninsula is a geological perch that overlooks the city of Boulder, with views both to the north and to the south, provided you're on the right side of the street. The non view, inner side of this micro-neighborhood is not so lucky, but valuations get dragged along for the ride never the less. We've been keeping an eye on the property since it first hit the market. It's a fine house, reasonably sized, and with the amenities that buyers require of a home in this price range and location.
The trouble was being nestled among so many homes with the killer view. When we shared it with our clients, they felt they didn't like the inboard side of the street. The psychological impact of knowing half your neighbors have jaw dropping views, and you wouldn't, just didn't feel good. Although it's worth noting the location is actually extremely desirable, no matter which side of the street you live. It's a short jaunt to restaurants, shops, and all of the buzz that happens downtown (when it eventually returns).

Deal Notes
Acquired at the end of May 2017 for $1,200,000. The permit was applied for in November with a stated value of $400,000 and it was issued the following February. It first hit the market in January, 2019 at an asking price of $2,950,000. During its nearly two year listing period, it went through seven price reductions. Even though the sale process took an extend period, the investors likely did just fine based on the economics involved.
