As I reflect on the year, I’m reminded of how many reasons I have to be thankful—and I want you to know how thankful I am for you. Not just on Thanksgiving, but all year long. Thank you for your trust and support!
As we step into Fall, Boulder County’s housing market continues to show a mix of opportunities for both buyers and sellers. Single-family homes are seeing slight price softening, with median and average prices each down 1.1%, while inventory has climbed nearly 36%—giving buyers more choice than we've seen in some time. Meanwhile, the attached-home market is holding steady, with modest price growth and a notable increase in available listings.
Both segments are experiencing longer times on the market and higher inventory, signaling a movement towards a more buyer-friendly market. Whether you're considering purchasing, selling, or simply staying informed, these evolving trends can help you make confident real estate decisions this season.
October 2025
Happy Halloween! As we look back at the housing statistics for September, our local real estate market presents a fascinating split between single-family homes and attached dwellings. The single-family segment is showing signs of a cooling period, with both the Boulder County Median Price ($895,000) and Average Price ($1,167,922) seeing decreases of 1.4% and 0.7%, respectively. This shift appears to be giving buyers more breathing room, evidenced by a significant 22.9% rise in # of Active Listings, and a corresponding 18.2% increase in Months of Inventory, now at 5.1. While the market remains active, the higher inventory and a 13.2% drop in the percentage of homes Under Contract (now 22%) indicate that buyers have regained some negotiation power, pushing the Average Market Time up by 6.7% to 64 days.
In contrast, the market for Attached Dwellings (condos, townhomes) is holding steady and even showing modest growth, appealing to a different set of buyers. Both the Median Price ($505,000) and Average Price ($585,205) posted gains, rising 1% and 2.2% over the prior period. Although inventory is also increasing for this segment, with Active Listings up 14.9% and Months of Inventory rising to 5.8, attached dwellings are still moving. The Average Market Time increased slightly by 2.7% to 76 Days. With a strong price performance and fewer units overall, the attached home market is offering an attractive investment.
September 2025
As summer winds down, our local housing market is showing signs of balance. Prices remain fairly steady overall, while inventory continues to climb and homes are definitely spending more time on the market.
For Boulder County single-family homes, the median price dipped to $885,000 (down 4.3%), while the average price held steady at $1.17M. Inventory is up nearly 13%, which means buyers have more choices, and homes are taking longer to sell—now averaging 64 days on the market.
For attached dwellings, the median price rose slightly to $501,748, with an average price of $579,787. Inventory increased by 11%, and condos & townhomes are spending about 76 days on the market, reflecting a slower pace overall.
August 2025
Traditionally, the July 4th holiday marks the unofficial end of the peak selling season. While July often sees a high number of closings, many of those are from contracts written in May and June. Real estate activity continues throughout the year, but July typically brings a slowdown in new listings, leading to reduced inventory. Buyer activity also tends to decline in the second half of the year. Notably, one of the most significant market indicators this year is the exceptionally low Percentage Under Contract.

As you review the Boulder County Housing 10 Vital Statistics, it’s important to highlight that more homes have sold year-to-date compared to the same period last year. Inventory levels and days on market have both increased, reflecting a growing desire among homeowners to sell. However, prices remain under downward pressure. Both median and average sale prices suggest sellers are adopting less aggressive pricing strategies than in recent years.
July 2025
The middle of the summer marks the start of a slower season for real estate. According to our 10 Vital Statistics (below), Boulder County inventory is up nearly 22% for attached homes and 20% for single-family homes year over year.
Importantly, this rise isn’t just due to homes sitting on the market—it’s largely driven by more homeowners choosing to list. Residential “number of sales" have actually increased slightly across the board, showing that homes are still selling even as market times lengthen and prices remain flat to slightly down.
This uptick in listings has pushed "months of inventory" into balanced territory—between 5 and 6 months as of June 2025—where supply and demand are roughly equal. Historically, a balanced market is defined as 5 to 7 months of inventory.
June 2025
Wishing you a wonderful July 4th holiday as summer is officially in full swing!
While spring has always seen the peak of our selling season, so far summer 2025 is seeing continued rising of inventory. In Boulder County, single-family home inventory is up 28%, while attached dwellings have increased by 49% year over year. It’s important to note this rise isn’t simply because homes aren’t selling — it’s primarily driven by more homeowners choosing to list their properties. This is reflected in the data, showing only a 3.5% dip in the number of single-family home sales and a 3.1% uptick in attached dwelling sales.
Growing willingness to sell has pushed "months of inventory" into balanced market territory, with 5.5 - 6 "months of inventory" as of May 2025. A balanced market is typically defined as having 5 - 7 months of inventory, meaning conditions are now more equal between buyers and sellers.
May 2025
